Got a buddy that buys a new busa every year and puts about 35k to 40k every summer. His 1st one was in 01.

I got 18k on my 01 :evil:

He doesn't work so that's all he has to do is ride when the weather is good. There is no way in hell I could do that many miles on a bike in one summer.

Right around 60,000 on my '99.  All the normal fuel pump issues, CCT recalls whatever.  It's been pretty rock solid with decent maintenance.  Finally decided to check the valves a couple weeks ago.  Never had the cam cover off before then.  They were all still way within spec.  Talked to a Busa mechanic I know and he said it's really rare for them to be out of spec until at least 85,000 miles.  I wonder why they want you to check 'em every 15K?


That's been the same since inception. They simply want to make money on something that basically doesn't need any servicing.

Did you decide to hang on to it then? :D

Curiosity has me wondering who has put the most miles on their busa. 

A co-worker has nearly 70k miles on his bike.


Have any of you exceeded the 100k mark? 
70k miles dang oh my god........

I gots me over 67,000 mls on my Y2K, with 62,000 miles on the 1363 kit. I would have more but at the same time i have owned the Busa i also put 45,000 miles on my old ZX9, 8,000 mls on another Busa i used for trips, 11,000 miles on my 2006 ZX14, and have put over 5000 miles on my ZRX 1200 since i got it in June.
Glad to have those other skoots to help keep the miles off the Busa.

It really all depends on circumstances. I know a guy that puts, or used to put 80k min per year on a bike, he was a messenger. Does that count?

I had 57k on my 00 in 04 just before it hit a rock wall.

I don't count mileage so much anymore.  It's more about quality of ride for the mile.

Logging big miles just means grinding along anymore for ME.

Having fun while logging miles is the most important aspect.  For me. 8)

Nicely put, I agree. I new a guy in Cali who bought an 07 R1 new, wrecked it early 08. He had roughly 65K when he wrecked it. He had to replace the guage, by the end of 08 he was in the 70K. I think it was geared, but thats still over 100k in one year. I really dont think the guy slept at all, just rode his bike EVERYWHERE. When he would stop in at a bike night to say hey, he was there for like 10 min then off to ride some more. And that bike mind you still purred like it was brand new.
