Hi Team,

I couldn't wait to share this with you all.

I got a call yesterday from my dealership to say that my B12 K6 had arrived so naturally I buzzed straight up there to get some pics.

i will get some more when I take actual delivery in a weeks time

Dammit, remove that piece of plastic from the fairing! How can I have headlight envy with that plastic hiding the light!! :D

Looks great, I love that color!!

Very nice. That week long wait is going to be a killer though.

Happy motorcycle trails

The only thing that matters is how fast you can get from 0 to 60, because top speed is secondary

Yep. Got the Blue one. 4000k on her now. Happy as a clam. Took a while to burn that blue plastic off the pipe, tho.

Hey Rocket,

I believe the front suspension is a bit harder than the earlier models - did you find that

Never had an earlier Bandit. Did have a streeted Gixer but compared to some of my old bikes (Norton, Triumphs, 72 650Yamaha) the suspension is heaven. Had a GS850 and an 1100 and, yes the suspension is stiffer than those but I still think it's great. And don't forget, you're ridin a brand new 'stiff' bike.

I didn't realize that new bikes came assembled from the factory like that while the stealerships still charge a freight and prep fee.

Hey Shredder,

Neither did I. I new they were sort of assembled but had been told that the wheels were packed along side the chassis. This is the first ever trully new bike and I was surprised to see it almost assembled.
The wind screen, handle bars and controls were not mounted so the dealer spent time getting it organised. UIt also needed to be made strreet legal with rego and certificate of roadworthiness.
My dealer is great - he cahrged me th RRP less 8% and that covered all on-road costs and freight, and unpacking and on-road cost which were around 250 buckaroos

on the new ride! I expect the next picture of your bike to be on the roadside with some local scenery.
