Single cylinder XB (XBlast)

[Mike.M]

Hello

i am a new user and i am interested in buell motorcycles, although i don't own one yet.
I found a story on one website about this kind of Buell XBlast, is a single cylinder useful compared to a v2 engine, or is this a cheaper replacement engine if the original breaks, or an experiment on how this works

The Blast was an entry level motorcycle. 500 cc beginners bike. Was used a lot during the Harley riders edge learning program.

Hey, i explained maybe a little bad but i meant aluminum xb frame replaced v2 engine instead of single cylinder engine
And sorry my English is bad

Are you asking if you could put a Blast single cylinder in an XB ? Of course you can. But why would you want to.

Guess they want to race in a small engine class.
