Probably possible to repair alot of it yourself. If the ECU is gone though I would consider wrecking it, might be a bit of a nightmare to find one. Unless you went aftermarket....
IF someone did that to my busa I would be furious

street fighter it and name and shame the guy.. if he's a kb member people on here should know who he is., and if not, make a random fb page and name and shame the scum bag for the whole world to see.
How come it will cost $160? There's likely a KBer that can help transport it for you. If $160 is a huge concern at this stage then repairing it could really stretch your budget.
I think it will all come down how easy it is to get running - either restoring ($) or bypassing (?) the HISS.
You could customise it, or turn it into a track bike. Or you could walk away from it and put the fix up money into something else that you can ride.
Do you have somewhere you could work on it?
Perhaps if you decide against keeping it you could offer it up for sale here, or on TM. The insurance auctions on TM seem to usually get ok prices.
Keep on chooglin'
Thieving cunts, not enough disrespect that they stole it but they go and butcher it as well.
Fix the electrics and street fighter it is probably the way to go. But maybe just get it back and store in secure location while you cool off/get perspective a bit.

I agree,.. they are a pain in the ass to sort,.. I had a key stolen to a Honda a few years back and getting the HISS stuff sorted will be a real pain. Seen a few HISS\ignition\key\ECU sets on ebay for around $400 so ill just have to do the math and see if its all gonna be worth it.
Provided the ECU is still there,.. I can resolve the ignition stuff fairly easy though. The $160 isnt a problem,.. just mentioning it as that was the price of the towing fee. Pick up will be extra, but I'm sure I'll sort something aye.
If someone wants to come have a look at it with me, you'd be more than welcome,.. just nervous that the guy who stole it might be able to read all this and pay me a vist when I invite someone over to help :S
Where do you need to get the bike from, and to (general locations are fine or PM). I have a ute and should be able to help from that side?
Gotta have something go your way eh?

Given what's happened your attitude is pretty bloody good!
Honestly I'd streetfighter it, or put the rego on hold and do it up over a few years. But I'm a sucker for punishment.
If you decide not to, for the love of god don't give it to a wrecker - trademe it as a project bike, I've paid $2500 for a moderately munted kawasaki ER6, I'm sure someone would stump up more than that for a 954.
