Looks tidy but its well ridden...bloke traded up to a ZX14.

Wonder how much they gave him.....

Yup thats definitely the bike. The ZX14 next to it is black.

Should walk in and offer them $7k and see if they take it.

Is there no other Busa's for sale in this darn city???

[-Mark-]

There is this This but bit over priced IMO

[Dirty32]

Surely you'd offer them $6k, knowing it was $6900 yesterday...?
Can always go up they say no!

[Bigmandazz]

There was a second hand one, not sure of year at Suzuki in Vic Park the other week I was there getting tyres at T4B.

Yes fairly over priced.

In the other thread Gippo you said busa was small, ZX fitted like a glove... or are they just out of ur price range since theyre a newer bike than busa?

[Phildo]

Isn't there one in Bunbury somewhere that was recently damaged and uninsured? And only a few weeks old from brand new?

Sadly the ZX14 is out of the budget also I'm finding them a little too angry for daily commuting, coming from a 250 Hyo. The Busa's are a little more refined plus later models have mode options. Just need to lower the pegs to fit perfect.

you do know that if you lower the pegs you'll alter maximum lean angle?

i almost threw one down the road because it had lowered suspension with lowered pegs and lengthened swingarm, almost tore my leg off when the peg hit the ground mid corner on a fairly mild sweeper knocking my foot off and yanking my leg backwards.

guess it depends how much you lower the pegs but keep it in mind.

This is why I love PSB.

The thought never crossed my mind. Currently the seating position does feel a little compact. Knees feel high. But I definitely don't want to sacrifice any lean angle. Oh man looks like I need to give my impulses a rest and do some more research....

Rearsets; move the pegs back rather than down.

Thanks mate. Doing some net research now...prices, how to fit, how it changes dynamics etc.

[Racer]

What sort of price range are you looking at?

[Chaos-incarnate]

Double or nothing says you will use the mode option maybe twice. I said the same thing with the Gixxer, and then rode it in full mode just to test it worked....still testing it now

What Maxo said- rear sets. I got Drivens which are just gorgeous to ride on but expensive. Will be putting them on the Gixxer also, like them so much. Vortexs are a pretty popular cheaper alternative, and those ones JB Performance does- cant recall the name right now- are good but more expensive than the Vortex.
Did the ergonomics of the Busas get changed much over the years? Maybe one model will suit you better than another.

how bout a black k10 model, stock except -1 front sprocket around about 19xxxk's, good condition except very slight scratches on one side from a stationary drop from previous owner no cracks or anything, scratches mainly on the sticker that can be replaced and none go all the way through the paint. Make an offer or let me know if your keen to have a look.

Same, dont really use the mode options at all, the throttle is that smooth there is no need.
