They've built a few Houses Rod . & Yeah , gen 1's just keep getting better with age . Put a 99 Copper near a Black 2010/11 & See which attracts the most attention .

Nice to see you had the same location for the photo's each time.

Bike's looking great. Clap

Mine looks like crap right now, i spent last night taking the whole thing apart Scary now i have bits and pieces in the car with me heading to Brissy for "customisation"......
My poor Busa looks like a half dropped Streetfighter now and its a 2011 with only 4K on it, never dropped scratched or hurt, i just couldnt help modding it already.....Very Happy

More fun riding it mate .

Rod, you must be usung Oil of Ulan on it. It looks 10 years younger. There is the truth in advertising after all. Lol3

Oh man that's great! My kat's off the road after 1 year on. '99 r/b will be back soon as I can save me pennies. Stuff like this really helps me do OT when I can, cause I can not wait. Mines stock thu! Except for air filter. Good on ya Rod.

Looks like 2 completely different bikes....I suppose they are really.

Great comparison shots Rod, you've done a top job on that Busa.
