His Busa, obviously gone dark again

Hi Guys.

So i've nearly finished the bike, just got the painting of the fairing left to do. Just waiting for the weather to get a bit warmer.

I ended up buying another Hayabusa from Bristol with only 11,600 miles on it for £2750. I stripped it and have used the parts for my build.

The first hayabusa i brought from up north, the seller kept the bike and my money. Took me 5 months to get it back using section 75. Got the money back last week. eBay and the Police did not want to know. eBay washed there hands of it because paypal got involved. And the police said it was civil matter.

Brought a lot of parts from WeBike in Japan which saved me over £1000 on uk prices.
Also found a 26 year old new rear OEM tyre and a 24 year old new front OEM tyre lol.
This build will have cost me about £6k once finished, which is not a bad price for a Copper/Silver first year Hayabusa.

Going to bring the bike in to the home when its finished and display it in a glass case with my Deagostini models. And yes the wife is happy with me doing that.

Will add some photos when i've sorted some out.

Good news re the money,some right wankers about
And yes,get some photos up

Take it you're not going to use those tyres when they're that old?

He's putting the bike on show(as you do)

What a waste. Bikes are made to be ridden.
