    considering the ultimate, built or bought?

    Damn! yea, I'm not looking for a track beast at all. I mean maybe once or twice a year (literally) I would take it to a "run what ya brung" event in the IE of CA and hope for low 10s(even tho I really don't care)but streetability, slabability, and short blasts in the middle of nowhere is what I...

    considering the ultimate, built or bought?

    Yes! thats what I want! Something I can do 400mi days on as well as semi daily and commute if necessary without spending the whole day worrying about reliability issues. The whole tranny issue kinda threw a wrench in my original budget. What would you say is a fair price for a turbo build? or a...

    considering the ultimate, built or bought?

    Thanks man! Yeah it literally has one scratch on the front fender less than an inch long and a 18 wheeler tire explosion mark (my profile pic) I got as I was weaving through shredded bouncing carcass at about 95mph westbound on I-10 outside of PHX. The piece that left the mark u see( just on the...

    considering the ultimate, built or bought?

    Thanks man! yeah I get a lot of compliments on it, especially from other busa riders. I've been told its not a super common color package. Its my second fave, after the copper 99 which I am still hunting for.

    considering the ultimate, built or bought?

    OK! Yeah I really like what I got aesthetically. Not a ton of gen 1 white bikes running around. Surprisingly out here in socal its hard to find people who can do turbos. That was a big reason I considered buying built or dare I say it, considered an H2. I wish I was, but am not, mechanically...

    considering the ultimate, built or bought?

    Hi Jeff, I'm looking for somewhere round 250-275hp. Nothing nuts. I would prefer SWB. Or damn close. If thats semi safe and realistic of course. The reliability part is what concerns me the most but as u said, nothing changed, just more power. That is exactly what I want. Thanks man!

    considering the ultimate, built or bought?

    hello all! hope all is well! ok, getting right to it, I am very seriously considering a turbo busa. I am currently on an 06 LE(NA) which is by far my favorite bike I ever been on in very close to 20 yrs. I assume I don't need to tell u the laundry list of reasons. Having been on this bike for...

    02 Busa jerks on 2nd gear

    Im on an 06 rz w lite mods. Very recently had this second gear bullshit occur. TBH it was terrifying coming out of a tight corner hard on Angeles crest, front wheel up and leaned over. I really thought I was done for an instant. Had chain adjusted and sprockets inspected the next day. They found...

Yea, glad u mentioned it, I get the 1-2 miss as well at the end of my oil.I keep saying end of...
