high miles,:squint: that’s funny.:itr41:
Anyhow, go to [nada.com](http://nada.com) and go by the retail trade in value for a ball park figure on the price.

it all depends on what you’re looking for in a bike, go to a brand specific forum and search for known issues with that year.

mileage just shows it was ridden instead of posed. i would rathre see a bike with high miles then low miles. low miles shows a squid most of time or in some cases someone that just didnt have time. now get ghettofabulous and itsa track crunchie, or the 929 in my garage which has scraped the tail for that same mileage

8400 miles over 5 years (considering it hadn’t been rode much the last 2) is only ~1,600 miles/year.
Compared to NADA, it might be a little high but it’s hard to really say without knowing what others are selling for (again, brand or model specific forum would be helpful) and seeing the bike.
For that kinda cash and maybe just a little more, I think I’d be looking for something a little newer and likely fuel injected, but again, all in what YOU are looking for.

Why would you want to a sell a Busa to a guy that’s looking for his 1st bike? Do you want him to seriously injure himslef. You’re an dumbass for even suggesting that.
redramair, don’t buy a busa as a 1st bike. Get yourself an older - pre-2000 - 600 and ride it for a few years.
