Hayabusa's for sale on cycletrader

[groran1000]

People must be in dire straits. I have an ongoing search on cycletrader and every few bikes for sale, it sends me an email. Without exaggerating, in the last month, I have seen 100 Busa's for sale all over the country. I'm thinking man it must be getting rough for the busa brotherhood!! Phew man, it may get worse. I hope all of yall are healthy along with your families. Take care.

I think when guys come upon hard times the bike is the sacri lamb for most Especially for the guy that doesn’t ride too often hard to justify keeping under that scenario

True and also people like me that have other bikes. The Busa is my do it all bike, but it neither carves twisties or tours as well as my other bikes. If in an alternate world I had to sell one, it would probably be the Busa. If I had to sell two, can't go there. I prefer to keep that alternate world just that!

All in how you view things and whats important to a guy. I'm not exactly sitting pretty right now,but I love my bike. It will be me,my Busa,a tarp,a loaf of bread/jar of peanut butter living in the park if needs be.
My kids are grown and doing exceptionally well...no significant other at present,they can bury me with the thing. I'll work part-time at a gas station in exchange for fuel.
I definately feel for folks who worked so hard to get a little extra only to have to give it up with these recent hard times.

I feel the same Rubb. I would sell everything else before my beloved bikes. We must keep our priorities in order!

No need for the tarp in the park, free motel rooms for the homeless in our 'hood.

I'll take the park.

I kept mine through thick and thin and it's been all thin up until, the last two years. It's still not exactly thick in any way except I have two awesome motorcycles and one's a busa. No way I'm giving these babies up. I'm building them up.

To most people it's just a bike.

I love mine but when the time comes for it to go-I won't hesitate. Like many here I've owned some cool bikes and was able to let them go, this one is no different.

 

[ottafish]

Thankfully mines all paid for now. But after many bikes coming and going, I stumbled into the Busa scene. It's the first bike I've had, where it "just works". It and me seem to have a connection.. I've had a car that I've sold and regretted it to this day. I won't make the mistake with my Busa.

 

[Slowstang305]

I love mine, keep it in a living room etc. Holding on forever I always tell myself but you never know. She is part of the family!

Think of how many Hayabusas have been sold since 1999. To have a hundred+ for sale 21 years after they first hit the streets doesn’t sound too bad. As for personally selling? I wasn’t ever going to sell my early 1979 first year CBX either, until a guy offered me a sh*tload of money for it. Just couldn’t say no.
