Description
I bought the bike from the original owner in 2016. I had just retired and wanted some of the bikes I had always wanted when they came out, so I bought the best Busa I could find, this one.
As you can see from the description and photos, it is very close to being perfect. If you spent a couple of days detailing, then it probably would be.
Very very low mileage of 5660 miles with a full history. I’ve serviced it a couple of times, including just now, but really, other than changing the oil and filters, flushing out all the hydraulics including the clutch and generally oiling and greasing cables and the like there hasn’t been much to do as I’ve done virtually no miles as it’s such low mileage and so very clean it seamed a shame.
Things I have done.
Stripped and cleaned the external fuel pump, as these are know problem points, but it was very clean, but I changed the fuel pump anyway as you can get very high quality replacements, much better and quieter than the original, if you know where to look. If you have a Gen 1 Hyabusa and it’s not running right, bad idle, down on power, missing, basically anything, it’s the fuel pump. Don’t believe anything else.
It is very unmolested, no cut down mudguards or other such horrendous “improvements”, but it does have a full Akrapovic system, headers and all, which does sound wonderful and is probably worth 8 hp and 20 kgs and a double bubble screen, but I have the untouched original screen and the exhaust, which did about 2000 miles only. The bike will come with one exhaust or the other, your choice. It also has recent braided hoses, which is just sensible and gives a nice firm feel at the levers
The bike has a mountain of paperwork, all the dealer history to 4200 miles, loads of receipts, alarm system, alpha dot marking, Akrapovic exhaust, cam chain tensioner and fuel pump mod recalls (see, I told you) and general massive over servicing due to lack of use. The bike has a datatool alarm, but I’ve disabled it as they are utter sh1t, they just keep going off all by themselves until they kill the battery, sometimes when you are on the bike, which is quite exciting, but I have the certificate of installation, so you can blow smoke up your insurance companies arse and tell them it has one, which, technically, it does.
So, there you go, probably one of the best original Gen 1, 220 clocked Hyabusas out there, if that’s what you want, here it is.
Happy to chat anytime. Oh, new battery last week and I have the hump and original seat too.
