SWEET!, i love the busa's, the torque they make on a freeway is enough to leave my pants soiled. Im actually selling my r6 soon to get a Gixxer 1000 though, thats an absolutly amazing machine. Good purchase, im sure youll love it....BTW, you got the best color

DAMN!! Its Perty!! I want one so bad but the wife has other ideas. I work with a guy who took the motor out after driving it home from the dealership and had it all redone. He even stretched the backend out, looks really good and runs even better. He also installed a 75 shot of NOS to top it off, dude is crazy!

Nice Busa!!! Im envious!!

Beef--You got a great deal if he accepted 10 flat. I'm assuming you paid tax and prep on top of that.Actually most dealers are getting list for that "special Edition" due to its rarity and demand.I have the unristricted 2000 Cranberry and gray mettalic...but I'd trade it in tommorrow for that one.Great choice.You'll love it.When your ready for some mods E-mail me.I know these things inside and out.

Nice choice beef. I was checking them out last weekend at a shop next door to a speed shop I goto in Lauderdale.
I've seen them hit 155mph in the quarter here. Stock as far as I know. Which isn't very..........If you go for a custom tune get ahold of Paul (TZRider) he puts custom tunes on some of the superbikes on the circuit professionally. He should be able to point you in the right direction. The damn boy can tune anything that uses gasoline!

Enjoy Brother.

10 for the bike, 600 for state tax and 50 for liscences

no prep fee, i figured it was a decent deal
