I had a friend who had to sell this bike in a pinch. I was the lucky person there I guess at the right time.

2006 GSXR 1300
This is supposed to be some sort of limited edition with all black.
Been strecthed 8 inches.
32,000 miles

Previous owner had chain come apart and tore some things up. Those have all been replaced. The only problem still remaining is there is a leak at the output countershaft seal. Once this leak is fixed and chain put back on we should be good.

Please excuse my ignorance dicussing the mechanics of these bikes. Not my strong suit. I have basic sense which usually pulls me thru.

Bike has been sitting for almost 2 years. I paid $1000. I think I have another 750 in repairs to get it back perfect.

Thoughts????????

It actually has a plack on the tree says limited edition. I was told it was because of everything is blacked out. But not a deal breaker for me either way. I have already got my specs and service manuals. This site is a wealth of knowledge for people in my situation. I thank you guys in advance for all the help.

$1000 bucks and it runs, with clean title? That's a steal. Even another $1000 in misc parts and you still are singin'

Welcome! :bowdown: Make sure you do all the stuff that should be done when a bike has sat for a long time.

an OE black frame with a clean title is worth about 1200-1500. the fairings are worth another 750 or so... you could come out way ahead without putting any money into if you decided to part it.

Congrats on the purchase. :welcome:

Whoever is telling about the bike doesn't know squat about Busas. For $1000 you got a great deal. :welcome:

You did good.

The 06 came with a Black Frame but the fairings on the LE were White, The 07 came with a Black Frame and Black Fairings, So either you have an 06 that has been painted or different fairings or a Black 07. Either way you did good.
