I had 99,700 on my 2000 Busa, but unfortunately I just wrecked it. A lady turned in front of me and panic braked. Went down, sheered off the entire front mounting bracket. Totaled. So close to 100,000 miles. I almost cried. I have a 2005 Busa currently with 20,200 miles on it. The Busa will run...

Be there Sat/Sun for sure. Hope to see/meet some of you guys there.

I just totaled my 2000 Busa and it had 99,750 miles on body. Second engine (27,000) miles. Blew original at 87,000. Bike it's self was solid.

Yea it would have been better all around for me if I'd have been able to just stop. When I looked down I closed very fast on the vehicle, even though I was only going 45 mph. In my mind (things went very fast), I only had two options, smash into the rear of the car or put her down. I'm sure...

Thanks guys for the support. I lost the engine at 87,000 miles while running high rpm's at the lake. The new engine was out of a 2002 (only 14,000 miles when put in). The bike it's self is all of the 99,750 miles. No problems except gas filter at about 50,000 miles. Since then none. She has been...

Sorry to hear. Know how ya feel. Been there done that.

I was on my way home from work and cruzing about 45mph on a two lane back road to my house. There was a Honda Civic just a head of me about 4 car lengths. I looked down for a second then looked back up and the Civic was dead in the water trying to make a left hand turn. There was traffic coming...

I had the same problem with my 2000 Busa. It turned out to be paper filters coming apart with age and clogging up the screens. They replaced the paper filters with later model filters and rings. It hasn't had a problem since they corrected the filter issue. That was about 3 years ago. I had a...

I use the Bridgestone Battleax BT20 tires. I just changed my 2000 Busa and got 13,000 miles from them. I also, changed my 2005 Busa a week ago and got 10,000 miles from them. I would have done better, but picked up a nail on Bay Bridge. They work well for me. I ran the Avon's once and got about...

SORRY! "Brakes" not "Breaks". Dah!!!!

On the way to work in SF, CA this morning. In carpool lane doing about 75mph. Looked in rearview and saw car closing fast. Looked forward and traffic at complete stop. Clicked down three gears, let engine break me for a moment then flicked right and split between cars. The car closing mashed on...

Marsee makes a couple of different size bags. From small to large. Good quality as far as my use.

My 2000 Busa says "PhatRoy", my 2005 Busa says "PFatRoy". Worked out pretty cool.
