Picked up the new Bandit..
 

Found out why I got it so cheap. Every dealer got 1 special edition to promote the new bike, and luckily i got that bike (hence the top box, ABS, tank protector etc...). Bit like when a superstore introduces a new product, they do a special deal...

So i went down in the morning, done the finance, worked out I saved £1.25 per month from the quote. Good start. Then I went to my dads, only to get a call saying that Suzuki done a deal the day before, 0% finance. Great, that saves me another £15 per month. Picked her up at 2.30pm, signed the docs, rode it home.

Totally different riding experience to the SV. No-where near exciting, but then its a totally different type of bike. Comparing it next to a SV650 (non S) you can really see the difference and im gald i went for it.

Sub 6000rpm, and i've already booked it in for its 1st service in 2 weeks time :shock:

Brought out for inspection

Looks good mate, sounds like you got a nice deal too. :thumbsup:

Re: Picked up the new Bandit..
 

Is that what the dealer told you?

Nope its what my dad told me, then said it again in the shop which the salesman confirmed (all the paperwork etc already done and the bike was sold, so no reason to lie).

I think you got a great deal, but it's not the new Bandit 650. The 2007 bandit is water cooled.

When tehy add stuff it's to sell the older models off.

Its an 06 model....

:thumbsup: bandit :wink:

Very nice Daimo - I hope you too are happy together! :D

bullet proof workhorse and will run forever :wink: nice. :D
