Robbie 0 Posted February 3, 2013 Always had a soft spot for these.I wander what deal they'd do for the Z http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-GSX-1300-RL0-HAYABUSA-2010-WHITE-9454-MILES-/360485126542?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item53ee96818e Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpyowl 0 Posted February 3, 2013 Well I can't give an unbiased opinion. But if you want to ride round with one of these on your face A Busa was a must own on my Bucket List Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 0 Posted February 3, 2013 I have no doubt about the grin factor. I've liked Busa's since they came out but liked them even more when they started to do the white limited edition ones.I love the Z too and is great fun. I want both but that's not going to happen.I sent the dealer a message so I await his reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not quite 2 years old and is a lot of fun and quite a capable mileage machine.I was just browsing ebay and spotted it and then started drooling It's a year older than mine and has a few more miles on it so would be quite interested in the deal the dealer would do.

Robbie 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Yep this morning albeit a short reply just asking if my Z had ABS. I replied back and not heard anything since Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted February 4, 2013 just my opinion , but i think you should keep your z ,its a great bike and you have had it from new , I think you are going a step backwards looking at a second hand ,1year older busa, if you want one that much buy anew one in a couple of years your z is well up to the job and you have ran it in and looked after it been thinking about it all day while I have been re-pointing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not adamant on changing it it's just that I saw this Busa and thought wow that's a good price and I wander what deal they would do against the Z. You never know it could be one that you just can't turn down.Anyway I called them and gave them more details on mine and they gave me more info on the Busa. He's going to get back to me as I have mailed him some photo's of my Z for him to view.He did roughly say mine was worth £5000 to which I said I would not be happy with so there's a fair chance nothing will happen but like I said earlier "you don't ask you'll never know" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fr499y 0 Posted February 4, 2013 keep the zed! like dave said you have had it from new, you know what it is like, how its been ridden and its more than capable of doing the job. Besides, something about a white busa doesn't look right ( might be because white gear on a white bike looks lame, and black gear looks a bit out of place? )You can pick up a 2010 busa from most dealers with less than 15,000 miles for under £6,500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We saw someone pull up on a white busa a while back, had matching gear god did he look a right tit!! having white stripes or what not on black leather is fine, but matching the bike is a bit sad imo ( except racers ovc ) If you do get it im sure you will love it, i've always had a soft spot for zeds so it's kinda a bias opinion for me lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robbie 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Nope, waited for the dealer to get back to me with some price's but he didn't. I called and left a message to call me but that was a few days ago and still not called me back. So as the old saying goes f**k him. Just glad I wasn't desperately on the look out.

Robbie 0 Posted February 10, 2013 It's just so bloody annoying. My guess is as most of the payment would have been trading my bike in and very little actual cash handed over he wouldn't really be making any money on it as he'd have my bike just sitting in the showroom until sold. And as we all know it's not the best time of year to sell a bike.Now if I had called him and said I have the cash or want it on finance I bet he'd have jumped at it.
