What should I know about the '99 Busa?

[84Ninja]

I should have the '99 in about two weeks. I currently have an '84 Ninja (hence my handle). The Ninja is awesome, but I know the Busa's in a different league. Can anyone tell me what to expect with the Hayabusa? Thanks

Kurt

Mr Bogus- FYI, the 1st Ninja is a pivotal predecessor of the bike you are currently riding. It is similar to the Busa in that it is an exceptionally & historically relevant bike and was superior to anything at its time. The '84 900 Ninja runs a 10.55 in the 1/4, not too far behind the 1300cc Busa. Damned respectable for a 25 yr old bike..

Thanks 99- The copper I'm probably going to buy is a two-older-owner bike. Completely stock, 17,500 miles. Near mint.

Captain- Will do. I pretty excited to hop aboard the mothership

Also your not telling Mr. Bogus nothing he don't already know, Oh and welcome to the madness here on the oRg..

 

[84Ninja]

Thanks GixerHp..

Spudley- Lol. Thanks for the warm reception! I have a feeling I'll get permagrin like after I first rode a ZX-11 about 14 years ago. When I drove home in my car from that ride I just couldn't stop smiling. It was hilarious.

DR- Thanks, yes, respect is on the top of my list. I will drive like an old lady for a while for sure.

and certainly was not crackin on you... Chris? maybe.. but he is fun to pick on...

Thanks Mr. Bogus. I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. Yes, the 1984 Ninja was the first Ninja with its distinctive red/dark gray scheme, much like when you see a Copper Busa. Here is the original

Btw, I can't get an avatar uploaded. Am I doing something wrong?

I used to have an 83 GPz 1100, that was actually the first bike that led to the sport bike, "ninja style". I still miss her from time to time. Wiseco made her dang fast!

Dude you are in for a treat. My first bike was an 8 zx-10(same bloodlines as the 84.) I rode that till the engine seized up in about 2000. I got the busa brand new in 06. When I pulled out of the lot I could immediately tell the difference inpower and technology.

LOL, that is no joke. My 83 had a tubular frame, and it was the the first year for "uni-shock".

I had a 99 Blk/gry, was a wonderful machine, they had some minor issues, fuel pump,(guys here helped me fix that) starter clutch, Suzuki guys fixed that(that wonderfull extended warranty)other than that she was won-der-full. My first street bike was a 75 900 Kaw, 4 of those later an 80 1100 zook, then an 83 100ED, then the Busa...nothing else compares, although I havent been on the 08...YET...Mike.
