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

Very nice!!! Congrats on the new bike!!
-
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!! :congrats:
-
Nice.......all you need now is the sheepskin seat cover.........
-
Very nice. That week long wait is going to be a killer though. :congrats:
-
:congrats: Happy motorcycle trails :motorsmile:
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 :?:
-
Nice ride :motorsmile:
Sleep well if you can :banana:
-
Good for you, Marty! :congrats:

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
-
:congrats: on the new ride! I expect the next picture of your bike to be on the roadside with some local scenery. :beers:
-
Nice to hear from you Paul. Good to see you are still kicking around.
Some scenery and a pic will be forthcoming
Cheers :motorsmile:

Victor,
Altho I can't see the lovely warning stickers that were plastered in four different locations on my bike, I am assuming that they are there and am wondering how you and/or your dealer tend to handle them. My dealer said it was my responsibility and I spent hours picking away with my fingernails, credit card, every type of solvent known to man, before they were finally off. And my first attempt at the one placed on the top of the fairing just aft of the black plastic body work left the clearcoat dulled. I gues I could put a buffer to it and shine it up but I haven't tried yet.
-
Easiest way to take off stickers is with a Hair dryer. Heat it up and it will loosen the sticky part.
-
I wonder what it feels like to purchase a brand spanking new bike that nobody else has ever ridden before.....Hmmmmmm.
-
It is a nice feeling that you are the first and only owner. There is no wondering as to how the previous owner treated the bike.
-
Imagine how I felt when I bought my '01 in '03 and found out that it had belonged to a...a...a woman! :shock:
The cootie infestation was unbelievable! It took forever to finally get it sanitized! :lol:
-
I know the feeling. I bought a 2001 Mazda B3000 pickup three years ago that formerly was owned by a woman. Now, in a man's mind, there's nothing more "manly" than owning a pickup truck. So, the thought of mine being formerly driven by a woman was just downright........"unmanly". Took forever for the smell of flowers to dissipate.

Nothing a few manly farts couldn't fix. :monkeymoon:

Hey, you want to feel really emasculated? Most of the time the person I see driving a Hummer H2 or H3 is...you guessed it! A woman. Was at the Hummer dealer recently and it was all women with kids checking them out. I had to go for a testosterone shot immediately afterwards.
Hummer = Chick Car
Sad, really. :sad:
:lol:

Not really true if you look at what a Hummer is really worth. I just watched a video recently of a Hummer vs a Quatro going up a snowy hill. The Hummer tried multiple times but couldn't get up the hill. The Quatro did it the first time. hhhhhmmmm.
