ALL
For over 65 years, Hideo “Pops” Yoshimura and his namesake company have designed and produced the finest exhaust systems in the world.

"Single exhaust" means all 4 header pipes collect into 1 and are then routed up the right side,99% of the time. Referred to as,you guessed it,a 4-1 or four into one.It is not a deal breaker,it is a huge bonus.
The hump is a piece that attaches in place of your passenger seat.It was designed that way to improve speed by "Closing the envolope" as they say. Air rushes over the rider and gets split by the hump instead of hitting a flat surface(like the rear seat)
Buying from a Harley dealer is pointless if you ask me. Chances are they wont have a tech who knows shi7 about Busa's so any warantee offered will be useless. A Busa is nothing like HD in any shape or form.Buy used,privately save a ton of dough. Besides,you have us to fix it if needed.
Keep posting all your questions...we have guys on here who have been with Busa's for 20+ years. We have not been stumped yet.
Pics below:
Stock exhaust vs 4-1

HUGE difference in prices.

Going from riding HDs for those many years to a Hayabusa is a big jump in performance-the Hayabusa is a good choice as it is a very stable and forgiving platform.
Like as already said, a 4-2-1 pipe like the Yoshimura on that bike saves weight and adds hp, without knowing more it could have other performance adders.
In my opinion...it is basically a new bike with that few miles...there is very little difference between that and new except it has a few good mods...nothing has changed between that and a 2020 except the color.
If you are really wanting to get a Hayabusa, a very good example of one is at your fingertips. If you can negotiate a better price-go for it.

BTW Noles
to the family friendly insanity that is Hayabusa.Org.
Friendly advice: When going to look at any prospective purchase consider taking one of us along for the ride. I have no doubt as to your skillz in bike purchasing, but you could have one of us "know-it-all" Busa-Bastids in tow to ask questions you may not think of,decipher the answers into words you can understand etc. You know Harleys right? Well we know Busa's.
Cool scenario: You find a Busa you'd like to check out. You roll up on the bike and its owner. You have maybe 5 or 6 guys on stretched out,custom,Turbo'd Busa's. The owner may then decide you may not want to be the guy he attempts to bullshi7. OK,maybe not 5 or 6...1 or 2 would work as well. Just saying...it's not like the fella's would be there to intimidate or anything....
If I was close to you I'd make the offer in a second. There are a ton of way cool dudes on this site who I'm sure would offer to help in anyway.
We have engineer'd purchases of bikes sight un-seen by a member buying from across the country or across the world. EX: Member PacificBusa bought his bike without even being there and had it shipped to his place in Guam. Cool right. Anyway,just an' idea.
I'd roll up with you on mine...
But it's junk compared to what some of these boyz are sporting.

The Hayabusa platform is renowned for its versatility. On this forum alone you will find those who dedicate the bike to:
Simple changes such as
Personalizing the bike is the point, Obtainable, especially if you do your own work but even if you don't.
How much wrenching you do yourself will also affect what that 'fair price' is and therefore what price you're willing to pay. Turn-key bikes cost more for that reason. Beater bikes will always be cheaper.
And if you do like to turn the occasional wrench, you have indeed found the right forum for learning & research & practical applications.
The above is fact. My opinion follows:
Good Luck!
- sport
- street
- touring
- drag strip
- canyons
- commuter
- even cruising
Simple changes such as
- bars
- sprockets
- tires
- exhaust

The above is fact. My opinion follows:
- The Hayabusa becomes a motorcycle love affair:
- You'll pay whatever cuz you gotta have it
- You'll do whatever cuz you want it a certain way
- You'll change your mind and start all over again.
- Any 'significant other' in your life will either become more or less significant once the Hayabusa enters the equation.
Good Luck!
Thank you all. Good to know there are so many good and knowledgeable people here on the forum. I have a really good Suzuki dealership in Little Rock, so I’m going to take the bike to them to check over on Tuesday if HD dealership let’s me. I found new/old stock 2018 Busas for under 10,000$, so I will use that to negotiate a better deal and if they won’t, guess it’ll be a 2018. There aren’t any Busas for sale in Arkansas that I can find except the one at a Harley. So if I want a new one, I have to go to Dallas.
Thank you.
Noles!!
Thank you.
Noles!!
With only 1000 miles on that bike, I'm confident it will be GTG..you are correct in using the newer bikes with lower prices to negotiate a better price..
The HD dealership will probably be glad to get rid of it.
ya that's great an' all Haya....
Butt I just use my Busa to score the chic's...
Rubb.
@Noles2020 Red bikes score more! (Rubb already knows this)
Hi all. I’ll be going to the Harley Davidson dealership tomorrow to see if I can get a better deal on the bike. Not really sure what to offer. I guess I’ll go 9500$ since new/old stock from 2018 is 9999$. If any of you thinks I should go lower with initial offer, let me know. Hopefully I can test ride as well. Harley has an easy test ride policy and I have a good relationship with them there. (Bought 3 bikes)
I’ll post pics. Really looking forward to the new bike.
Thank all.

Nice find but the new 2018 for $9999 is tempting IF they dont throw a ton of fees on top of the price. I used to ride a Harley also but it felt more like transportation and my heart never paced like it does riding the beast. I bet you will love whichever bike you choose just make sure to come back and show us pics of the new ride! Good luck tomorrow!
It's basically a new one with only 1000 miles on it...and has good mods already.

Yeah but a 2015 vs 2020 is 5 year difference. This WILL hurt resale more than the price difference currently when he goes to sell in a few years (IF).

Depends... could be 1.8k or 2k
