No probs on a Busa Les, i did panic a little when my 2001 Ducati monster 750's gauges read the same thing though...........

If that IS old, Les......some other busa's around here muz be ancient!!
Hey, just out of pure curiosity......if any other members think they might have the hi-score in this department, whack a pic up of your odometer, please!!

definitely a photo op Les! top shot!
mine's only done 81,000 according to the odometer
. . . as long as you don't count the 4 years of 200km each day to and from work with the speedo disconnected.
97km to work - 97 back home - as long as you don't count the old pacific highway every other day. (Wattanobbi to Nth Sydney)I originally got the bike as a freeway commuter, was planning on racking up 50,000 odd km on it, and then trading with odometer reading low numbers. Next thing I knew 4 years had passed, I realised it would be getting close to the 180,000 mark, and it would be like selling a member of the family. So reconnected the speedo. Stuck another 50,000 on it the next year and then we moved. It's taken 7 years to clock up another 20,000km - so it don't get ridden much these days. But must be around the 260,000km mark. Apart from services the motor has never been touched. Still gets absolutely caned, doesn't blow smoke / doesn't use oil / still hammers / still feels tight / never misses a beat.
what more can you say about a 'busa motor.

Between you & I Wardy, our bikes are over 500,000klms between them. I've thrown a reg/rec & a cam chain at it and regular services and mine has been a dog of a bike
, All those k's two up and the majority of them 3 up
. Go the mighty 'Busa!Cheers,
Tex & Bundy
