Hey all... Well in the end.. 5,300 and I got it.
There are a few little issues but so far nothing found thats major.
I'll post up a new thread and some pics later today ;)
Yay! Got a gen 1 again :) It is reminding me of my gen one a lot so far so it feels like having my old bike back which is awesome.

Congrats Raz, I have since decided not too but at one stage I was thinking of selling my gen 2 and going back to a low k gen 1.
Gen 1's seem to have something the gen 2's don't, more aggressive and raw in power delivery maybe.
Anyway, ENJOY mate.

with the 3 busa's I have now owned I found that while the 99 had the "ANIMAL" effect it seems to be unique (99-00) to the gen 1. My 01 was a great first busa but I nearly shat myself first time I took off on the 99 and it lite up the back wheel and put it sideways on me. Something the 01 would/could never do unless I really tried.
My L3 has way more power than the 01 but not hat special something that puts a smile on your face like the 99. One day I will have a genuine 99 back in my shed but I am very VERY happy with the BEE....
