I'd just like to add my thoughts on buying a used bike with regards to the possibility of it being thrashed. I suppose unless you know the previous owners, you'll never know how it was ridden so look at it this way.
Smaller capacity bikes are more likely to have been thrashed than high capacity. A rider of a smaller bike would be up in the high rev range more often trying to keep up with the big bikes which just fly past in top gear with ease at low revs.
Very few Busa riders could honestly say that they ride it to it's full potential every time they throw the leg over would they?
Riding fast is what these things are built for so thrashing would probably mean having the thing bouncing off redline in the first 3 gears constantly.
So think about it. What's the probability of a Busa, which has been constantly thrashed throughout it's life, actually reaching 60,000km in one piece?
