Finally after a long search… copper/silver

[Berteric.]

Hello guys and dolls, I’m new to the forum.
After a long search, I finally managed to found a copper/silver gen 1, one from the first owner with only 4000 miles/6500 kms. I’m not only very happy with it but I’m also aware that I’m very lucky to have found an unscratched and totally original one with only a few mileage. They‘re becoming very rare!
Enjoy the pictures

Welcome, a very nice example of an iconic color scheme...

What are your plans with the bike, is it going into your living room?

If Suzuki would have introduced the gen 3 in 2019 and offered it in this color scheme, it would have flew off the shelf.

Hayabusa porn right there!!!

Yeah I'm already trying to figure out how to be his man ho just to touch it.

Thank you very much everyone.
What am I going to do with it? Not much, try to keep it in this condition as long as possible. Take it for a ride every now and then to keep it from 'drying out'. I can tell you that he rides like a young foal and smells like new, even though its 23 years old! Of course I don't want to put too many miles on it, just a matter of preserving its value.
I also have some other bikes to enjoy.

Here you go.
The least you can say is that I like colors

WOW!!!! Amazing bike. That thing is clean!!!!!Great buy! Congrats..

There's a guy around here that has the same copper/silver bike he bought new, he rides the wheels off it and doesn't look at it as a collectable as he said they made lots of them, this one is for riding.

About 3 yrs ago he took it to a run meet at the airport and it did pretty good, I remember seeing it flying down the runway and thinking how good it looked doing what it was meant to do.

That's awesome! Glad you were able to find one. They are definitely rare in the unmolested state yours is in.

Beautiful!!

Sweet bike, looks like new

That dark colored ZZR1100 was a Canada only color, very rare to see one anymore, especially in that condition.
Nice bikes

looks like it's been sent through a time machine from 99

Sweet Baby Jesus, That is a museum piece. I'd be afraid to ride it.

Does bring back a lot of fun memories. Had the same bike, but in blue.

My jelly levels are highly elevated. That thing is like going back in time. She's gorgeous. Looks cleaner than my freakin' Gen 3.

Nice bikes

Glad you noticed, that's my second find of the year. My first new bike I bought in 1993. And you know, sooner or later you'll want to go back to that first bike you ever bought, well I'm lucky enough to find one in an unbelievably good condition. I also love the colors, it sparkles in the sun, just like the busa. There’s no picture that can show that.

Copper/silver anyone? There is now one for sale in Italy: 1999 Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa
