benn looking to steal a busa for literally years. finally found mine on dec 17,(our thirty-third wedding anniversary) 230 miles from my house, covered with six inches of snow. literally dug it out of the apartment parking lot of a U of I accounting major who was leaving for korea the next day in fifteen degree weather. 06, 5300 miles. the best part...thirty three dead benjamins! got home @ two thirty in the morning and unloaded it the next day. the weather has been crap but finally got to take it for a fifty mile ride yesterday. WOW! the wait was worth it!

i'm actually in ofallon mo. kind of good karma on the busa purchase. was posted on cl for $4k which i thought was a smokin' deal to begin with. the weather was really pissy here, freezing rain, temps in the teens, snow further north. i think that kept other potential buyers away. kind of crappy pictures on his cl ad too which did not help it selling, and it was a week before christmas. the cincher though was the seller leaving the country the day before i bought it.

its still on the original bridgestones, and both look good.the rear has normal wear, with no burnout strip in the middle.
it was lowered, and had a cut down seat on it when i bought it. i raised it back up to original height and fitted with a $40.00 ebay sargent seat. nice and comfy on the highway now. have a new pair of dunlops for it waiting to be installed. right fairing is scuffed from some losers knocking it over in his parking lot so i'll replace that too eventually. figure i can have it minty and ready to ride with a total investment of around his original asking price.
