I always thought if and when I purchased a bike it would be a Harley. Well as time went on and money got rare the Harley was out of the question. So I thought about buying a Vulcan but I just couldn't bring myself to purchase a Jap Cruiser.
  Then my brother sells his Vulcan and buys a brand new 05 R1. Well I was 39 at the time and the ergos of a full blown sport bike were not for me...so where does that leave me? ZX 1200, 1200s Bandit, or a V-Max FZRs were to new to get a good price. The ZX had only 2 ugly color options and the V-Max wouldn't handle for crap. That logically only left the Bandit. Found one used for a good price and have been an extremely happy camper ever since.

Good on ya!  I looked for a good used bandit here in canada, but there are so few used bikes around, their prices are ridiculous!  Almost what you would pay new!  I got 2 bills off my bandit so there really wasn't any decision to be made.
