Leedog, I got one just exactly like yours and I feel the same way about how it "mooooves"!!!! I am a buck 75 and it will hit 120 MPH in a Dallas minute and that it is only 19 1/2 seconds. fast fast fast!!!!! The first two rides that I took were 570 miles and 625 miles consecutively.. The seat was not as comfortable as my X-cruiser but My ass got accustomed real quick. What a sweet ride it is. Has to be the best value for 2007... Banditone1250s...
There is a thin line between fear and respect...feel free to drift across it every now and then...

wow man!  those are long rides!  

My extra 125 lbs over you slow mine down a bit- but it is still plenty quick- as for bank for the buck...hands down IMO.  I sit on all the naked bikes out right now(Jap bikes anyhow)- and I was sold on the bandit just for the fit....but the tq is what really makes it an awesome bike IMO.  Unlike other bikes I have ridden- no need to downshift this bike...just twist the grip- and it lunges forward.

The seat has the hard spot in the rear of the front saddle- but once I learned to scoot forward a bit it is much softer.

Looking forward to some aftermarket stuff to get out now.;)
