The deal has been struck and I'm selling the Bandit tomorrow to a youngster (he's 16, second bike, currently riding a Ninja 250).

I hope you guys will continue to embrace me (figuratively, Pete) as one of the gang. You let Lynn come by on his Busa; SpeedTriple, etc. all are welcomed, with only moderate harassment. Seriously, this is a great group of folks without the typical BBS arseholes to endure.

Now I'm looking for the next bike. I'll be getting another sport standard, maybe an FZ1. A Bandit 1200 is a possibility too.

Matt, Why sell your bike without another one on the line? Are you going to buy New? GOOD LUCK!!

It's a chicken or the egg thing.

Actually, I had been thinking about moving up from the B6 and somebody posted on a local BBS that they were looking for one (a B6 or SV). I threw my hat in the ring and he bought it for what I was asking.

I think I have my replacement already.

I noticed that over at ETR the other day matt... traitor J/K

I would rock an fz1, and I may just do that next year. You could just trade him and you could rock the two fiddy for awhile lol

I rode that two fiddy and, believe it or not, something like that would be a freakin' blast on the Dragon. Sooooo lightweight and you sit low to the ground. Just not a whole lot of zip from the motor. Now I know why Rob and others like their B4s so much.

The youngster had a little spill on the twofiddy and the fairing was riveted together.

I found an FZ1 too, so I won't be bikeless for long.
