I currently own an '03 TL1000-R that I am planning to sell and then move on up to a Busa. Really looking foward to making the change. Had to opportunity to ride a friend of mine's and absolutely loved it. Any pointers on things to look out for when purchasing would be greatly appreciated. Looking to buy a new one but if I find a great deal on a used then I may go that route. That's about it for now.
 
Welcome... post sme pics of your Tiller when ou get the chance...
 
99-00 Have aluminum subframe, not advised for 2 up touring, also have cam chain tensioner recall, VIN number to the Suzi dealer will see if it's been done. 99-00 have external fuel pump, screens may get clogged. 02-up have new clutch design, easier to launch hard, but it's easy to retrofit. 04?-up have flash to pass switch, I think 02 up has 32 bit ecm. I'm sure I've missed something, but someone else will chime in and pick up the slack.
FYI, Busa's are notoriously easy to clock, so don't be fooled by a "low mileage special" from a less than reputable source.

If you buy used check it over good. I hear a lot of guys with second gear issues.
