Soon to be owner of a 2005 Busa. By the way, anyone out there run Avon tires ? Was thinking of either the Viper Sport (AV59/AV60) or the Storm ST (AV55/AV56) instead of the OEM Bridgestone BT56.

Thanks

Well on the way to getting my gloves on the handlebars. Went to check it out with my missus and got the green light from her, so now I'm down to dealing $$$ with the seller. Got to sell my '96 Bandit 1200S also.

I have Avon's on my Ninja 250, they work very well.

I run Perelli Diablo Corsa III's on the Busa because the harder center get me a few more miles.

Both of these shots are on the Tail of the Dragon...

Thank you all for your warm welcome. Made the offer today, so now I'm waiting for the present owner's answer. Might get my paws on the bike this weekend or next week. Let the snow melt ! WOO HOO !

Thanks Delbert for the info on the tires. By what I read, I was leaning towards the Storms, because I will be using it to ride to work and I run about 110Km per day. The fun rides are on the weekend. I read somewhere on another site about a guy getting fuel mileage of 5.5 litres/100km. Is this for real ? Cause right now I bareley get 200km per tank with my Bandit 1200S.
