Glad you're alright Brian. I've already arced up in the thread about Stuka's bike, and I promised I'd put the soapbox away.....BUT....Some people really do deserve fire and fornication!!!!!! You're bloody lucky to walk away but atleast now you know why you paid all that money for good gear
All the best, good luck with the next new bike.
It's a week by week charade.
Gee mate, glad to hear that you're still on the wagon. I don't know if I would have been very nice about the old "sorry didn't see you" line...

Hi Brian,
I'm new to the forum and was surprised to see Mombasa here - I just bought it today at auction!
I'm glad you're okay, when I first saw it I realised it was a rear-ender and had some mixed feelings about bidding for it, my father was almost killed when a drunk driver took him and his bike out at a red light.
Anyway, I've started pulling it down to check the extent of the damage. I've overhauled a few Gen I Busa's and am keen to see the full extent of changes on the Gen II.
But I have a request. Do you still have a key for this bike? Without it I'll be forced to get an aftermarket ECU. Those extortionists over at Suzuki want an arm and a leg for a new transponder and ECU.
Cheers,
Camel

G'day Camel and welcome to the club.
I hope you get the bike back in order soon and it was a good buy.
If Brian can't help you with a key, just keep in mind that the factory holds a pair of spare keys for every GENII busa built. Suzuki Australia should be aware of that and you can organise a set of keys without the expense of replacing the ECU upon provision of the VIN number and proof of ownership. A new ECU and keyset is only required if that extra set from the factory has already been supplied to someone.
