Picked up the new Bandit..

Such a different riding experience. Power delivery is soooo smooth compared to the SV.

Bit nervous riding into London today, new tyres, new brakes, new bike, got to be carefull not to let the revs drop to low, plus not them go above 6000rpm (revs a lot quicker than the SV), plus be carefull not to catch the mirrors or top box, all scarey stuff.

Still, so comfy, and i have a clock on the speedo (silly things make me happy )

Also got a mag of my old man last night. Rated 2nd hand buys...

SV650S came 109th (or something), pointy came about 90th or something, but the Bandit 650S came 10th out of 150 bikes. That made me feel good

Not much of a Bandit fan in the past, but that, in black, does look kinda cute (the rider's not too bad on the eye either).

Hee hee, but you've now lost the best excuse for enjoying the 'sceanic route' and being late - "Sorry luv, I just didn't know what time it was!"
