I love the tribute scheme u got on now but I really like that red and black it came with kiwi. Think im gonna take the decals off mine this winter since that'll be about the only mod this winter is gonna allow me.The first time I ever rode a Busa was back in '07, a good friend of mine had a '01 Blue and Silver,

I was on my new '06 GSXR1000K6 and we swapped bikes one day while out riding.
Now, I'd had GSXR1100 slabsides and a GSXR750J and a GSXR1100M and this was my first ultra lightweight Gixxer thou, 167kg, so when I rode the '01 Busa I really thought it was a big heavy pig but with a lot of torque and pretty good top end power.
I was not sold on Busas . . at all.
Then after a supermoto KTM and a 990 Adventure KTM,

I saw a '99 red and black Busa come up for sale and I had the cash handy and thought it would be a good collectable bike.
Didn't ride it much in the first year coz I was still riding and really into my KTM Adventure bike. The Busa riding position I was not used to after 3 years of upright position riding, which my back, neck and arms really LOVED!!
I sold the KTM to fund a building project ( a patio) for my house so started riding (and rebuilding) the Busa. I replaced every chassis bearing in the bike and replacement '05 RaceTech kitted forks to make it handle like a new bike and then started on the engine, just bolt-ons though, no internals at first.
Time went by and I saw a fairing kit I liked so bought it and fitted it, and put away the OEM fairings in a big box where they are today.
Then I replaced the cams wish Yoshi spec stage 1, added a PC3, Akrapovic system, K&N A/Filter and I love riding my Gen 1 !

Well since @Rojo added this link to a recent thread, may as well revive it!My first Busa, 2001. Few mods: Yosh carbon slip-ons, heated grips, double-bubble screen, gear indicator, TRE. Traded it in on the 2005 below.

First 2008 B-King... traded the 05 Busa in on it as I was looking for something more comfortable. Mods: Yosh slip-on, Yosh fender eliminator, heated grips, TRE, Suzuki factory headlight cowl.

Traded the first King in on a Bonneville to build a side-car rig for my new daughter to enjoy. Ended up missing the fury of the 1340ccs so I part-traded a 1999 TL1000R I had and some cash for another B-King. Minor mods: heated grips, HID headlight, homemade fender eliminator, Area-P slip-on.

Met some crazy dude through the .org who traded me his 2009 Busa for my B-King and a bit of cash. It had 4-1 Yosh exhaust, heated grips, Helibar risers, double-bubble screen, etc.

Sold Rubb's Busa to a local cop who was able to actually use it without fear of jail time (Do as I say! Not as I do!)... why? Because my first B-King had popped up for sale and I wanted it back! So I bought it. Again.

I also let it go again this time last year while downsizing for a move. I listed everything I owned for sale and what sold, sold... what didn't is still with me. So yeah, I'm Busa-less for now... but that could change when the Gen3 bike appears! What? Why are you all laughing? A Gen3 could happen! It really could!
