Who has the nicest busa here?

I agree with beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
One man's wife/girlfriend is probably more beautiful to him than most others because
he gets to play with her. Just like riding it's probably setup to your liking - so someone else's
bike even though maybe better looking - wouldn't feel or ride the same as your setup one for you.

All I know is I still like mine because it's the nicest one I get to ride.

Interesting mods @Amode . Color matched fairing screens and turn sigs.Are the rear sigs painted as well? Is your tag hanging off a hugger or something,looks really low. I don't recognize the exhaust...? How tall are you man? The dubble-bubble didn't feel like enough so you added that do-hickey to it. So many questions,I know. :laugh:
Rubb.

I do because it's mine and only mine...I definitely do not desire any other Hayabusa other than the one in my garage right now.
 
the windsceen is changed, Noise new agv helmet. The stock exhaust is back on. The front tire is 145/70/17. Rear sprocket is a 40. The front height is stock the rear is lowered about 4 + inches. Front and rear turn signal housings molded in, And lic plate holder. The mufflers are car mufflers about a hundred bucks each. Oh and lambo orange.
 
66 Years Old and drive mine in The Villages Fl. Largest retirement community of 140,000 "seniors". No one has any idea of a Hayabusa. I freak them out by telling them, You crank the throttle in 1st gear, and wait until about 60 miles when the front end lifts off the ground. Now don't panic, but with the quick shifter, shift into second and the front end slowly returns to the ground. They will sit there with their mouths open, and wonder how crazy you really are. I'm a squid.

I like that heat shield on the exhaust :thumbsup: and those rims look good against that gray.
 
Don't forget the CNC carved swingarm on Roadtoad's busa. And the BST rims.

Yeah, I imagine Michael is concerned more with speed than looks but I would love to see his turbo busa all put together.
Hi. Right now I do have a nice pile of parts. I think that it will also look OK too. It will have a wild paint job with a skull comming out of ace of spades. It will be painted in white with blue and perple pearls and the back half will be dark purple. With pearl so it will look black but int the sun it will look purple. The tail light and turn signals will be under the paint.

Can i ask how mu
You lucky bugger, I love this bike and would love to own it. Well done on a great find.
Can i ask how much you paid for it.
If anyone asks, I always say, don't ask, the price for these first generation models is priceless. Let’s say I bought it for a fair price but had to invest quite a bit to make it roadworthy again, had stood still for far too long.
Better ask, what would you charge for it if you sold it, I say, not under $15,000. I'm sure prices will go up over the years. They are becoming increasingly rare in original version and with so few mileage.

But it's not so much about the value, I just fell in love with it because I like the color very much. It grows really on you. I bought a black/red one in 1999 because I thought the copper/silver was too daring at the time, now it's just the opposite. So I'm really happy with it!

Here's one that was recently auctioned for $14980: 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa – Iconic Motorbike Auctions
