Many of the articles I've read on the new Bandit (and the Grope and Flail article falls into this classification) seem to have a problem with the fact that the Bandit is just a great all-rounder. It's almost like their innate sense of honesty is forcing them to write a faintly-approving article.
Admittedly, Ted comes out at the end of the piece with a strong endorsement for the Bandit.......but God forbid that any of these testers would actually RAVE about the Bandit.....like they would about the newest Gixxer or ZX14.
It's so dispiriting to me that the Bandit is underrated by most of the mainstream press....
