Why do I lust after the GSF1200S?
 

Afternoon,

is it wrong to be attracted to the basic charms of the big engined half-faired Bandit? For the past few months I've seen a few knockin' around Dublin and I have to admitted I'm smitten. I even think the little fairing with the v-shaped lights looks very smart. It shouts "get one" lounder than any zipped up, colour splashed race rep has to date. Am I'm I loosing my cool? Dammit surely I'm too young for such a genuine Dads bike! Yet still I fancy one. Just wanted to voice this secret yearning. Still it's a whole heap of machine for the money, hmm maybe they're just a heap of ****3 I'm lusting after, but hopefully not.

Great bike - nothing wrong with it. Really there isn't.

Lovely smooth, grunty motor, very comfy, effective half-fairing, more power readily available with the addition of a can, at 215kg it's lighter than the CBF1000, etc.

Best bit is the price.............. £5299 rrp.

Top value bike.

They are a mighty fine machine. Nothing wrong in lusting after one to be honest.

Was the big Bandit not dubbed "Best value bike you can buy" recently by one of the comics ?

I know a guy who's on his 3rd one.

Best bike you can buy for little money.

Shop around and find a bargain.

The Bandit will be extinct (EU and tree huggers) soon so maybe a possible classic too.

One of the finest hooligan machines money can buy. Amazing bikes. A little heavy but you ouwldn't notice it when riding (just don't drop it). Wheelie's in 3rd (for me that is amazing!).

Get one.....NOW!

great all rounder :D

It's just your sexual orientation. Be proud and as it's not normal there's bound to be some social handouts to help you...
