I remember a few years back, a guy I knew bought a 600 Honda cruiser (I think it was a shadow).  It was comfy, but what a GUSTLESS wonder it was.  I could've sprinted faster than that bike.  I understand switching to a more powerful bike.  Before the Bandit, I have always owned old Honda CB's.  The biggest being a CB900F, which I still have.   The first couple of weeks after I got the Bandit 1200, the power was a bit intimidating.  But I soon found out that it was just a matter of getting used to it and learning to control it.  It didn't take long before I wanted more power.  So I added a Holeshot pipe and jet kit and added two teeth to the rear sprocket.
