Is this a Bandit on steroids?? - SV650.org

Well after thinking and thinking again I went and bought myself this.

So far after only a few miles I love it. Apart from one small issue. The bars really need risers as feels like I leaning forward too much. Also it takes over £27 to fill the bugger up.

I loves these

To answer your thread title, yes! Although...

Having never ridden one of these or sat on one, they seem lower to me?

I am generally not a fan on naked bikes but this is one of the few I do like!

Nice! Reminds me of my old 1200 bandit - one of my favorite bikes.

GSX1400 - for people with a gearchange phobia.

Congrats on the new machine - they're lovely bikes, I think you will have a good time together.

Yes, just YES.

I would love one of these or the 1300. I had a 'spirited' pillion ride on a 1300 a few years ago, it sounded like a scooby and went like the Starship Enterprise
