Now done over 500 miles on the Busa since getting her on Friday
Really pleased with how its gone and the purchase
Was looking for a Gen 2 in Black but this one caught my eye
Year 2000 and stock apart from double bubble .Wears the original cans and subframe!!
22k on the clock and its immaculate
Did a longer run today with a mate on the Blade so took the pic when we got home
Wheeled the Triumph out so it didn't feel left out!

Yep.. clocks show it every time I start it up.Kind of cool the way they flick to 220 when the ignition gets turned on

Im riding East Anglia, Peterborough, Cambridge, Norwich. So far its me and another American riding the busa around here. Don't see them often so its nice to meet another one.

That's a long way from me..they are definately more popular with you guys from across the pond .Full on sports bikes always sell better in the UK..not sure why but they always have..I see very few Busa's and virtually no early ones but lots of R1's and Blades etc

I would really love a 220 dial

Ya we have our share of blades and thunderaces over here in suffolk. Couple ducatis and the base is littered with Harley's. Only new busa I saw was 2010. Havn't seen to many older ones either. Who knows I might see ya around. Been meaning to make a cross country trip.
