I ride an FZ6 now (second bike of similar sizing) and I've decided to step up to something bigger. I do a fair amount of highway miles and like the idea of something heavier with more available power. Anyways, I've always loved the way a Busa looks and personally when I saw the tail on the 08 it made me want one even more.
There is a guy about 30 miles from me that has a used 08 (the only one I have seen so far). It has 2000 miles on it and he is asking $10,250 for it. Assuming he's an adult rider and the bike was broken in properly is that about what you would expect the bike to go for? I noticed that the price to beat thread (for a new bike) listed 10,399 or thereabouts for the East Coast but then shipping is gonna add another few hundred bucks at least. At the same time there is something that makes me nervous about someone getting rid of their 08 Busa having only put 2k miles on it. Then again, there are plenty of legitimate reasons why someone might have to do it.
Seems like a friendly community here around the forums, thanks for any opinions.
