SV 650 or Bandit?

definitely sv for me although the bandit is great at what it does really comfy good mpg and fun just for me not quite sv fun.

Goes nicely with your pipe and slippers

Only the 1200. Between the SV and bandit 6. The SV stomps all over the bandit. The 12 was built to wheelie.

In my opinion. The Bandit. But then it does not have the nick name of Blandit for nothing.

i have just been reading in other threads of sv's not wanting to start in the cold, is this true even with the fuel injected version??

Never had a problem with my pointy, which of course is FI. I think the longest I've had it stood for without starting it is about 2 months, including in sub-zero temperatures, but even then when I started it up (temp was about 1 degree at the time) it fired up straightaway.

one more tick in the pointy box

Mine wont start cause I have messed up with the electrics. Got nothing to do with the bike. Well it has obviously but its down to me and not just the SV being a bad starter in the cold.
