my first hayabusa

[Hutch99]

I don't want to dissappoint or upset 99sydrd especially on his lovely bike.
It is in fact a 2000 model not a 99 and had no changes from the 1st model except for the oil line to the cam chain adjuster as back fitted to the 99 models as a recall fix.

Still very much a first of breed busa but the blue silver scheme introduced the 2000 series late in 1999.
The 1999 models for Australia are the Copper/Silver, Red/Black and Red/Grey models.
In other countries the Red/Grey model was released as a Black/Grey bike and the Red/Grey was released overseas in 2000 as well.
Here is a chart to show the 1st 4 years of colour schemes.
Australia didn't get any of the special edition or limited models until 3 of them were released in 2007 as the last of the GEN 1 version bikes.
Red with black frame, Blue with black frame and Black on black.
These were all previously released in the USA as limited edition models.

i was going to say the same thing... still one of the 'No TRE Needed' to hit 300+
