| Just bought this from a friend. I'm going to fix it this winter(I hope). A drunk, unexperienced driver with no license went off-road with it. Front end and rear wheel has taken most of the beating and all farings are damaged. No damage at all at the frame. Front wheel, notice the brakedisc. Rear wheel. | |

| Hi Steen. If the engine and frame has no damage, (it seems to me from 2001 maybe 2002 without top speed limited) it's a really good project to go ahead to change it to a custom muscle bike . Power, speed, engine, parts&accessories, you have it all in one package. Good luck | |

| It's a 1999 so it got no restrictions I've already bought another bike(without engine) from Germany, just waiting for it to arrive and then the fun can begin. Dismantle, clean everything and put it back together. Piece of cake | |

| Crikey Steen he did make a mess did'nt he? Looks a good base & as you say you've got another coming to make a good one up it sounds like an ideal autumn/winter project! Best of luck with it & happy tinkering!!! | |

| Steen G. (I think that you know it but just in case) be careful with the subframe from the 1999's Busa. They broke easy near the attach screws with the master frame. It must be replaced or reinforced in case you think of keep it. Just like this guy did: | |
