Yeesh! And scrape up his mudflap. The whole bike looks warped, the rear wheel looks something other than round, too. Maybe this is Salvadore Dali on a Bandit?

Wow. I guess that should put to rest all the whining about how the B1250 is "too heavy, doesn't wheelie, steel frame is no good, it's not a 'hooligan' bike, blah, blah... "

What da ya mean "it doesn't wheelie" All you have to do is roll the throttle on in first or second and hold on for dear life.

I know that, and you know that... I was talking about the critics and complainers who haven't ridden one yet.

Hell, it'll wheelie with a snap roll-on in 5th at 60mph!

Don't let any "critic" tell you any thing about the new Bandit until he has been on one. One quick twist of the throttle in 1st or 2nd gear will definitely stand her on her tail...No worries at all about that!!!!!Banditone1250s...
