Go with the fairing -you'll like it in the long run.
Go with the seat your lady likes... else she won't bet there...

and that's more important than anything.

Been there.

I am sure that whatever you choose you will be happy with it. After all they are both Bandits. Me I like the look of the naked model. I am a larger bloke and don't get much protection from the fairing anyway.

Bet your not sleeping well trying to make up your mind

Well I got it! The 2000 model. Took me an hour to ride it home. I think this is going to be a very fun bike. It does run a little cold but it only has about 5200 miles on it. Might need a little carb cleaner. Thanks for all the replies everyone. Cheers

>>Might need a little carb cleaner.<<

I just put some SeaFoam carb cleaner in my bike and it worked better than I expected. My bike was running a bit rough on startup, even with the warm weather we've been having by me. The SeaForm seems to have eliminated the symptom. You can find the stuff in AutoZone if you have one by you. Highly recommended!

Where's the problem? sounds a result to me.

Yes it is quite a fantastic bike. I'll try the sea foam you spoke of. I already have about 250 miles on it. Cheers all

i had a 2000 s model before i wadded it into a guard rail anyways?!!

great bikes. i yanked my fairing off also and went naked used a buell cyclone m2 fly screen on mine blocked just enough wind. what color is it silver or red? i had silver great bikes miss mine. only had it for about 2 and a half years put over 30000 miles on it. if you need details on the naked swap let me know i sold my fairing and it covered the price to swap to naked and then some. i spent about 250 bucks with the light, mounts, and flyscreen. real easy.

Thanks, man that is a real familiar looking bike. Mine is the same silver, yet with the fairing. I have become rather fond of the small fairing. I'll have to wait and see.
I have a nice naked bike I'm restoring right now. Honda 1979 CB 750 F, a real nice bike. That's why the Bandit appealed to me so much. Both are too much fun. I'll get up a pic tomorrow however I will get up with you about the switch. Naked in town, fairing to the beach or mountains. That'd be fun.
