New Bandit 1250

And of course the 600 Hornet makes 100 ponies (although you do have to rev her but htat's the point, ride it!). Still not biased

Ah... but what about the finish?! Will it stand up to winter?

I think it's very good value - don't personally go a bundle on the looks - but that's a personal thing, think the GSX 1400 was more like the real thing... I went for the boring old Honda (CB1300) - lots of low down torque and enough HP cos (most of it, anyway!) it's not made of cheese...

This is more what I was thinking - a hooligan tool!

I went on a rideout with a guy on a Bandit 12 last year & it was a wheelie machine!

Need to learn wheelies 1st though...
