new or second hand?

[Madmax]

It is a tough call Mark.
Many GEN1 owners will never move up because of the passion they have for their bikes.
I can understand that because I had one for 4 years and never thought there would be a better bike. It is still going strong back in the hands of the guy who owned it before me and he will never part with it again.
Close to 140,000 ks on it.

The GEN II is a different bike in both looks and performance but still retains the busa soul.
It is smoother in temperament, better handling and much more modern in design. I really cannot see better value on the market than a brand new BUSA for around $17,000.

Hey Ray, admit it - the reason you bought a Gen 2 was that they're lower to the ground and you can now get both feet on the ground at once!
