One of the guys at the bike shop I got the raptor from had a bandit, then changed to a GSR or whatever they are and said it's an ace bike and was much better than the bandit. Not that there's anything wrong with bandits; I'd get another one tomorrow if one came up cheap enough. I'd give both a test ride and see which one I prefer
Let us know how you get on! There's plenty of choice out there so you can have loads of fun test riding everything
