Had a 2000 reg 600 bandit for about a year. Amazing bikes. Not meant to be a sporstbike so wont handle as well but they do handle superb in the right hands. Very comfy (much more than my 06 SV) and fuel consumption is much better. I regularly had 200 miles out of a tank on the motorways, sv only manages about 140 -160. Top end was about 130 ish but was unfaried so not comfy at all but bike weighted an extra 40 odd kilo's dry so handled a little different. Still, managed knee down many a time with no wobbles. I love 'em.
