Any real difference or benefits between gen 1 years?

[AreaCode215]

I have an opportunity to buy a gen 1 2000 busa and a 2005 busa... both look good. any significant difference between 99 and 07 gen 1?

You can flash the ecu in 02-07 models, and the fuel pump and a few small parts have been improved.
I'de go with newer just for age of parts if the price was right, but I wouldn't be concerned about the older one either, again price dependent.

Show us both, include mileage and price

There were several issues fixed by 2003, I think, starter kickback, fueling system ( vapor lock induced by heat ) of course then you have the 194 MPH top end on the ‘99-‘00, cam chain ??? Someone in the know help out.

Oh did I mention those neat 220 speedo’s

bendy aluminum sub frame and 16 bit unflashable ecu, are other pre 03 problems.
The only pre 03 busa I'd buy is a BONE stock, still with the warning stickers, low miles copper 99 just for the collectability.
