Just got an email back from my buddy.....
""""Its a 99 engine with only 6200 miles on it. The busa came from an island in northern Japan, so the old man didn't ride it much cuz of all the snow. It only had 2500 on it when I bought it. I put almost 4k on it riding on this 65 mile long island in about a year.
Its in great condition! dynoed 157 HP stock. 166 with dual HMFs. I ran nothing but the Motul 300V full synthetic oil in it, so it was taken care of really well. I changed the oil twice during the 4,000 miles...
I will sell it for 2300 shipped to his door. Unless the shipping is outrageous, then I might ask him to split the shipping with me. Outrageous = over 300 dollars.
The only thing this engine needs is a starter clutch. I think they cost 100 dollars or so, part of the reason I am selling so cheap. It is a very simple installation. If he wants, I will buy the part and put it in before I ship the engine. Whatever is best for ya'll. I can walk him through the installation if he wants to do that, it seriously takes only 30 minutes.
thank you,
Bill""""""
......let me know if you want it? By the way, that is a HELL OF A DEAL if you haven't shopped around much!
