New Bandit owner and new Bandit Alley member

Howdy, all

Collected my 2008 GSF1250SA last Friday.
Nearly time for the 100km service (600 mile for you US folk)

Lovin'the bike. Just need a taller screen for my 6 1/2 foot length and she should all be great.

Looking forward to some long travels and mods 'n stuff.

Oh, yeah, I am in Sydney, Asutralia.

ciao,

Dave.

Congrats on your new beastie. It will surely be a lot of fun. I think you missed a zero on KM in the original message. Sometime nuthin counts.

I've looked at tours/rentals of Autralia and they all seem to feature the 600ish Bandit. Is this a liability thing, (likely), or does it reflect a heavy tax or insurance rates, on bike size?

Lucky you, summer is ahead.

Howdy, Slider

Yup, you are right with the zero thing. Bad proof-reading on my part.

Not sure about difference with the bike size bit.
Registration over here (NSW) is a bit weird. Under 300cc is cheap. Over 300cc, no matter what it is, is the same price.

Insurance, on the other hand...

If you are planning to tour for a while, it is probably worth looking at buying and then selling at the end.

What????  You didn't join BA BEFORE getting the cool new Bandit???   

Good luck with her!  Oh and
