I took my 6 foot bed 92' Ranger pickup down to Sacramento after spotting an add in craigslist.org. Let me tell you the bike is 1/3 the size of my truck.
The rear tire wasn't sitting in the tail gate groove, but almost. I had been looking through cycletrader and ebay for awhile but I jumped on this add because it was only 5 hour drive away. When I got there I already new I was going to take it home with me. I had the guy help me load it in the back of the truck and back home I went the same day. I got a lot of looks; maybe from the size of the bike compared to the truck; but probably just plain envious looks.
I had been really set on getting the Hayabusa for the last two months after spending a couple years thinking about getting the gixxer 1k or 750. I owned a 1988 gsxr750, oil cooled for those that don't know; I'll post some pictures of it later.
This is a salvage title 2005 Hayabusa with 8500 miles on it. I paid $5400. It needs some more money put into it to make it look prestine, but I love it already. The bike was slid on the left side and then dropped hard enough to puncture holes in the plastic, on the right side; transport people probably. So it has a lot of cosmetic damage.
I have coming in the mail a used front seat, aftermarket mirrors, rear cowl, Dunlop Qualifier tires, and an exhaust system.
The main thing I am waiting on right now is the stock mid pipes and mufflers for both sides which didn't come with the bike. I bought these on ebay for $95 including shipping.
I am new to the forums but have already found a ton of information on busas and sportbikes in general.
Here are some pics:
