Well I couldn't stay away, I picked up my third Bandit 1200 last weekend. I've had one 1st-gen, and this makes my second 2nd-gen. Damn I love these bikes!

I haven't paid much attention to Bandits since I sold my last B12 in 2002. From reading all the mods and such you guys have devised/discovered since then, I have a lot of catching up to do!

I mostly hang out at Max-Suzuki (coinspinner) but this board is an awesome resource as well. Bandits are simply terrific bikes at a terrific price, I like that.

Don't spend too much time with the riff-raff over at Max-Zuk

What, we don't classify as Riff-raff? And I've worked so hard for it too!

Welcome back and congrats on the purchase!

Sure we do, it's just not nice to cross contaminate our Riffs with their Raffs... and vice-versa

I totally agree with that... I like mine more and more each time I ride. It really feels like it's just now getting broke in good - turned 10,000 miles this week 7 months to the day of purchase!!!

BTW.... Let me add another

That's the thing, when I felt like it was time to do some more street riding (I've been focused on road racing the past 3 years since selling my last B12), I really didn't have any specific bike in mind.

I wanted something fun, sport-tourey, strong midrange, and most importantly--inexpensive! I haunted all the local classifieds checking out hundreds of bikes. Over and over again, it was obvious the best bike in my price range ($3500 max) that fit my needs was a used Bandit 1200.

It was inevitable I guess.
