THERE IS A 1999 BLONDY ON CRAIGS LIST IN ANCHOEAGE ALASKA WITH '0' MILES ASKING $14000. THE GUY WON IT IN A DRAWING AND PUT IT AWAY IN WARM STORAGE.IF MONEY WAS NO OBJUCT I WOULD HAVE IT.

Nice pick getting the Copper. You will have lots of fun.

Congrats on the bike. I would highly suggest upgrading the starter clutch assy to the 02-07 design. The early Busa's had kickback problems that could possibly lead to a broken engine case.

Copper is still one of my favorite colors on a busa

Thanks everybody! Yes, I plan on riding it like an old lady, Busawizadry!

Topgun- Is that yours? Wowza. Mine's completely stock, btw.

Boosta- I've spoken with this guy in AK. He didnt mention winning it in a raffle. I would LOVE to have it, but I'm sure you have to sink more into it to get it up to par. $14k is too steep imo!

GM- Never heard of this, thanks so much. I'll certainly take care of it. Thx again!

Cap'n- Copper has always been my favorite by a long shot!

Thx again everyone. Will post photos asap :]

I have an 01. What exactly does this entail? Should i think about doing the mod as well?

Yes, its a beauty, but imagine the cost after shipping and prepping it for the road, plus doing the factory recalls. You'll be looking at nearly $17k!!!

Those are rare good luck on your find!!

 

[jeebuss1]

That is the fastest color. No really.

 

[84Ninja]

Jay- Thanks

Jee- I like to think it is... Or its the color other bikes are used to seeing when it pulls away.
