Seems I am really bad at getting motorcycles as gifts for christmas...

First one was gs550e, then a gs1100e from my parents, and

Finally yesterday, my Wife unveiled my latest Christmas present, 98 B12.

This bike was meticulously maintained and upgraded.

Dale walker complete stage 2, with slipon pods and jetkit.
Ohins in the rear

Traxxion Ft end

sprockets were changed to a popular setting.

Corbin Seat with the miny sissy-bar

Very clean bike...

So finally after bugging you guys for info on the b12 i am an owner.

The rest of christmas will be down-hill now that I received the bike...

Can I introduce my wife to yours?????? Nice! Sounds like it's set-up great too. Congrats and good luck with it!

great setup, and IT is WAY faster than my 1100. My 1100 was fast, this is ridiculous.

Did a 1/4 mile run on my road, braked to 55, and then a cop came around the corner...whew!!

Thanks you all your info on the Bandit, although I dont think anyone could have convinced me that it was not a good bike...

Did you track yours, I forgot?

This year now that I got the forks done. Race tech golds and progressive springs. Just running a Busa shock on the rear. Fairing is now gone so crashing won't be as damaging.

PS zoombic, guess what I got for Christmas!!

Mine gets track time, as much as time &$ will allow. R.T.gold valves and fork springs,have a couple different shocks that I',ve tried. rear sets and high mount Holeshot exhaust.Extra wheels and tires and gearing,GSX-R cams. Its very addicitive for me, I used to race in Batavia too. Every fri. night under the lights at the fairgrounds. Then I had a 250cc Bultaco Astro.Many many moons ago!
