(Spigga @ Oct. 06 2006,14:51) It'll be hard to find a 2000 600cc bike for that price, even harder to find a 1000cc of the same year (at least here in Miami). I think $6000 for a Busa is fine so long as it was well maintained. Its not like its a 2000 ZX-12. Besides, he wouldn't even need to get a TRE for it
. If anything, tell your buddy to try to talk him down to $5,500.
If I was him though, I'd honestly use the $6,000 as a down payment on a brand new Busa. I bought mine for $9,600 OTD. There's nothing like having peace of mind when you purchase a vehicle.
