Howdy,
Name's Joe. I'll be 43 in March. I've been reading your posts for a couple of months now, waiting to register so that I could say hi. So, "hi".
I just got my 'busa in October. I usually ride an ST1100 and was picking up some parts for it at my dealer. I walked in, glanced to the left and spotted that distinctive headlight. I'd been looking for a busa to sit on for months. Everyone was sold out.
So, I walked over and sat on it. I then noticed that it already had 1300 miles on it. Aha! A used busa.
I told the sales manager, "I'll take it".
He laughed and said, "yeah, right".
I replied, "no really. How much for it?"
Suddenly he was very serious. I got it for $9500 and it was already broken in. Met the previous owner later and he filled me in on all the care he had taken with it.
Man! What an awesome bike.
I've already learned alot from lurking on the list here. Thanks.
Well, I've rambled on enough for now. Back to your regularly scheduled Kaw bashing.
