Welcome... INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE!!!

Congratulations -- great buy!  Maybe my favorite thing about the B12s (besides the sheer power) is how big a bargain they are as gently-used bikes.  Welcome aboard -- I'm amazed by how knowledgeable the people on here are.  Lots for me to learn!
'03 VW GTI 1.8T
'91 VW Jetta Carat
'94 Mazda Miata

'03 Suzuki Bandit 1200S
'85 Kawasaki 454LTD

Five vehicles for two drivers?  Sounds about right to me....

I have a 2000 1200S
Live in the Houston, TX area
Use the Bandit as a daily rider to work
Thought I was the only Bandit rider in the whole area
Never see many of them
Good to know there are others out there that see these bikes for what they are: damn good machines
What a great site- will be visiting frequently.

silver 2002 1200 naked

Hi guys, I live in central Iowa, USA and recently bought a silver 2002 Bandit 1200 naked.  They don't seem very common in this area as this is only the third Bandit I've found for sale locally since last fall

I put about 500 miles on last week , great bike, very comfortable.  Over the years I've ridden a Honda CL175, CL450, BSA Lightning, and a Suzuki GS850.  The Bandit is the best yet, but will require relearning how to deal with a chain.  :grin:

I look forward to participating in this fine forum, I've been mostly lurking for about six months while shopping.

Thought I'd post here too to just say hello!  

I've been a proud owner since March 05.   :motorsmile: My husband bought a 01 B12S this spring.

Hey guys.
My name is Ben and I purchased a 97' Bandit 600s about a month ago.

Got a good 500ish miles on it and low-sided in a turn after hitting pea-gravel (I curse you VDOT).  The bike is down for now but will soon be back better than ever.
It didn't take me long to realize that this was a great all-around bike.  Heres to good talk and good riding to come.    :beers:

Hi I'm Aubrey. Just bought a 2003 Bandit 1200s, this year, after a 15 year absence from motorcycling. Live in Nova Scotia , Canada. Like the twisty roads, and longer trips.
