Nice score, man. :dthumb:
Gotta love that couch of a seat too...reminds me of the seat on my YZF600R.

Looks good, like the shorty can on there too.

I like the Bandits. There is something to be said for a simple bike that makes "adequate" power and doesn't require two hours of removing stuff just to reach the oil filter.

Did ONNSP end up not enjoying riding?

Yeah, she wasnt into it, but she does like to ride pillion.

Ohh so that's what you picked up. I like. Very much.

Absolutely loved my Bandit 1200s. Great price and performance right out of the box with a crazy aftermarket. Really miss my B12 and that sweet sounding Holeshot exhaust....mmmm...

Brock davidson used one of these to make the first 7second streetbike pass waaaaaaay back in the day, before the busa even existed.

Congrats, man. Nice ride.

I've very seriously considered picking one up for myself. They seem to have decent legroom (at 6'6" with bad knees and 31 years old, supersports are starting to get impractical), and I'm pretty familiar with that engine. I always thought my GSXR1100 was really just an engine with a frame and wheels to keep it off the ground.

The only things holding me back are the lack of fuel injection and a sixth gear, but I'm really tempted anyway.

It is pretty roomie, though I'm much shorter than you...

Fuel injection is overrated... Carbs work just fine... And yeah, 6th gear would be nice, but with the right gearing, shouldnt be much of an issue...

The newer Bandit 1250 has all that plus liquid cooling.

They lack the character of the older 1200s though.
