Well, finally I found a great deal on 2001 Blue and Silver with less than 900 miles, Micron (carbon fiber can) full system, powercommander with correct map. It was an e-bay auction (click here) which ended below reserve.
We exchanged a few e-mails with a guy, and long story short, she is sitting in the garage next to my Katana (which does not look happy at all).
The guy turned out to be a mechanic and racer (1/4 mile and speed), and the nicest guy. After riding her back (total for test ride plus ride back home - around 30 miles), I still cannot believe it. The bike seems to be in immaculate condition.
It was a long day, and I am pretty tired.
Needless to say, there was no such thing as opening a throttle 1/4, or even 1/8, no. Just putting a little twisting pressure on that thing, and off she goes.
Well, too tired now. Will give more my first impressions later.
Oh, I wanted to own a 'Busa since '99. I didn't even ride then.
And, quick 4 years later....
