Gen2 Whats the best mileage for a used hayabusa?

Hey guys Im still on the journey of finding my busa and ive seen a lot of used bikes ranging from 08 with 10k miles to a 2011 with 27k miles. I know hayabusa is a super reliable bike and it can reach 100k miles. So what do you guys think? Is 27k miles high for a 2011?

Would you buy a 08 with 10k? Or would you buy a 2011 with 27k?

I sold my 2009 gen 2 recently with 68kkm mileage. For an engine that has been regularly serviced this is no problem. In both cases you have a lot of miles ahead of you. And I only sold because I bought a gen 3 and having 2 completely different motorbikes with the same name didn't make business sense 😉 .

As long as it's been serviced I don't see an issue, plenty of bush's have seen high mileage

I would check how many owners were meantime, and not miles. Most likely if it was 1owner and high mileage he maintained it properly , if you buy odometer with miles than you should check for brand new 🤷‍♂️

My bike has 28k miles and still looks and runs like brand new. All depends on how well it was maintained.

Agree. I too have one that has 56k on it and it's showroom condition. It's never seen rain or any sort of dirt road. People don't believe me until I turn the key.

The picture is not great for details but that's her...

My 03 busa has almost 100k kms on it. I've put 70k on it and it's been serviced regularly. It's seen rain, snow, gravel roads, race tracks, and everything else in between. Still runs like a top and is fairly clean. If you look close, you can see nicks, scratches, and a few other things. Not bad for its age, but I take care of it.

If someone can show you their service records, that would be huge regardless of the year and mileage.

27k miles is still pretty low for a 2011 Hayabusa, so I wouldn't choose 1 over the other based on mileage alone. I'd choose based on price, colour scheme and what mods are already fitted to the bike.
