Never liked the GSR...doesn't look honest...if you comprendo...But the 1250 looks like a proper motorcycle...a mans bike...the follow on to the 1970s. As a real man...or male at least...I would go for the big cubes over a 600 anyday...

The noo faired bandit 650 teapot will probably be the same price as a 1250. I wouldn't. Probably be more sightings of nessie than the noo teapot.

I would buy a Bandit....lap faster than dani's Honda

I only know of one person who bougth one, and that's the guy who sold me his K3 SV650 for £500 so his mental stability is a touch suspect. I like the styling of the GSR and having ridden one I quite like the way they go etc, but I wouldn't buy one because as nice as they are, I don't like naked bikes that much that I'd spend faired bike money on one.
