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

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? |

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...

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.

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... |

They lack the character of the older 1200s though.
