This is the last bike I'm trying to shift for the same customer as the RD400 & Blade, again this was her late husbands bike. It's taken longer as she was toying with keeping it, but has decided now to let it go.
It's in fully running order, serviced by me in Aug this year and it runs fine as does it ride. It's had been stood pretty much for the last 3 yrs other than MOT's and the odd ride, I've put approximately 300miles on it over the last year, sorting it out for her as she was going to keep it. It's completely standard, except for the polished rims
In good to fair condition for year, rust beginning to appear on the odd fastener/bolt/screw etc mainly due to it being standing under a bike cover in her garden for over 2yrs, all easily sorted. There is corrosion on the exhaust link pipes, the offside is worst. These are double skin and it's the chrome outer that's starting to go, very common issue, easily replaced. There are the normal wear and tear blemishes you'd expect for a 17 yr old bike, especially one that's not been garaged all it's life.
Both tyres are new Michelin Road 5, fitted at it's last MOT in Aug 22, they've covered 379 miles. Genuine mileage of 10601, which is low for the year.
It doesn't have a current MOT, last was Aug 22, after having the front callipers rebuilt and painted by the garage who MOT'd it. Lets just say they worked, just, lacked power and feel and looked terrible. They'd painted them after rebuilding them with car paint, the wrong colour to boot, the paint then hardened and was jamming the pistons.
These were both stripped at service, the paint removed, rebuilt and new Vernhill lines fitted. They now work as they should, cosmetically they really need a repaint to return them to as the should look. She doesn't want to spend any more on this bike and this is left for the next owner if they so which.
It will either have a new MOT for the new owner or this will be reflected in an agreed selling price, bike is currently SORN.
The bike runs and handles as you'd expect, the motor is really strong again as you'd expect from a Busa, it really is all about the motor, if you've owned/ridden one you'll know hat I mean, they're awesome. This is a turn the key and ride off, just needs MOT, and some TLC.
It's worth in the region of £4800 ish, to allow for points mentioned above, she's looking for £4000 ovno, she wants in gone.
These next pictures were taken just after the service and wash down, they show the cheesy rim stickers that are no longer there.
The bike also has 2 sets of Yoshi end cans both used, one set boxed, the other loose. There's also a complete Givi luggage set, panniers look unused/little used, plus full mounting plates and mounting bars for them. The boxes and mounting plates will fit any bike the bars possibly not as it's Busa specific. These will be listed separately but could be sold with the bike if required at extra cost.
