    Cheers guys. Looking forward to getting it.

    @ wonda-boy yeah - it's the one from kennedys. I thought it was a bit pricey initially, but i did some investigation and for a low mileage busa from a dealer I think it's priced ok. Most of the other ones for sale have a lot more miles. I will be doing high miles on this one, so the low miles was quite appealing.

    Nice bike, but is it a bit of an over kill to use a hayabusa for commuting?
    They eat through tires and chains.

    Wouldn't you be better off getting a cheap hack and keeping the 'busa for sunny days?

    But when your commute is to the moon, you'll need one of these. Stay safe astronaut/space cadet Lenny :)

    No.

    :)

    Sure it's just a big oul sports tourer. I have ordered scottoiler for the chain and reports of 5k miles from tyres is fine. The rest of the servicing is straight forward enough, and they are OK on fuel. I've done the multi bike thing before and have no intention of doing it again. I did have a 'busa previously so know what they are like to live with. I never managed 5k from tyres tho....

    Cheers! I've been thinking of a change for a while, the non starting yesterday was just bad timing.
