since i almost got scammed.. damn it.. can any of the cali guys check on this. ive been also talking with this owner and he seems legit (last 1 felt it.. glad i trusted my gut instinct some and held off on that $$ deposit) anywho, here is 1 for lakewood california. 2k1 busa im 99.9% ill win this bid (put i a good amount on the bid). but if anyone in the area is bored out of their mind and wants 2 check it out.. id SO appreciate it. who would have thought buying a used busa is so hard!?!?!?
ok, how about lakewood california...
- Thread starter AZIROC
- Start date
I think we have a member here who is from Lakewood.. Cant think of who it is at the moment...
Got it. Charlesbusa lives in lakewood. see if he will hook you up
What year did they put the limiter on the Busa? I thought 99 through 2001 was not restricted and had the speedo that went to 220. I thought 2002 and up were the resticted models and had the 180mph gauge.
did the 2001 have the 220 or the 180 gauge. the gauges in the picture are 180

99 & 00 had the 220 speedo.

forks leaking, tire wear and tread, scratches, steering head for cracks, any noticeable leaks, chain, starts from being cold without a problem. Anyone else want to add things to check?

He sent me his phone number yesterday so I left him a message this morning. If he calls me in the next little while, I'll get over there and take the camera with me for some photos, assuming he doesn't have any problems with taking pics.
Yeah, I called him at 8:00 am. Whatta maroon. I keep forgetting that not everyone on the planet keeps Farmer John's hours. Bleah! ;-)

Went and saw your new Busa this morning! I think you're gonna like it....
That's the short version. Here's the long story.
Showed up at David's house and the Busa was sitting in the back driveway, beautiful in all it's glory! Dang, the beauty of any Busa just stands right out there and captures the attention, doesn't it? But I digress.
Very clean bike. No obvious leaks or tweaks. It was a little dusty 'cause it hasn't been ridden in quite some time. The battery was dead, too, and it didn't have time to fully charge before I got there so I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to hear it run. Take that into consideration before you buy it.
Now, about David. Trust me, if you can, you want to drive or fly out here and pick this bike up in person. It's worth it just to talk to him about engines. This guy really knows his shid and believe you me, if I'd had more time, I could have easily stayed there all day long, just listening and learning.
Do it. You have a place to stay at our house if you want.
I took some pics, too. Check e'm out. Assuming I can figure out how to post 'em!
