Buying Busa online

[Kento-Moto]

OK we all know there are tons of scams & rip off's out there ... But my best chance to find a good used busie is online.

The classic : "I am oversea's and cant register the bike, please send $ to escrow... blah, blah, blah ..."


Vin numbers are to be traced like Car Fax? Is there a Bike fax?

Anyway, what suggestions might you busa buddies have for ol Kent?

What's the highest your willing to spend Bro? I'll go ahead & keep my eyes peeled for any that are for sale.

You can run VIN #s through Carfax.  Get the most current pics possible by having them place a paper with the date in the pic.  Ask for a specific pic (i.e. owner crouched pointing at the tank).  Profile shot of the left side showing the VIN # and a zoom of the VIN #.  Talk to them on the phone and see what kind of feeling you get and then use your best judgment.  Ask board members if they have dealt with them before. Other than that I couldn't tell 'ya.  Good luck.

Thanks boyz, I bought the old bike from a dealer in fla. sight unseen with 600 miles on her and had it shipped to me in Hawaii. I did good but there were a couple scratches on her.

As for highest $ amount hows about 11 dollah and 53 cent ...

Just waht ever deal comes along.

1st choice would be an 04 Plum & black, 2nd an 03 silver gray.

I actually found mine online on Ebay, but it was here local so I ws able to see it in person before committing. It is tough, I figure it is a dayum shame that people put so much effort into trying to scam folks. Just be careful.

Just be careful to watch out for the scams. If it's not local to you, try talking with board members and see if they can check it out for you.
