Had my new bandit 650 for a month or so now and love it. Its a 2005 model (carb) in black, it also only has 10,000 miles. It came with the scorpion exhaust, renthal bars and a smoke Led tail light which i love. Not to mention shes in nearly immaculate condition with next to no marks on it what so ever, There is one scratch on the tank which i am going to buff out in the next few weeks or so as its nothing serious. The paint on the bike including engine is awesome and i can clearly tell it has been well looked after. For what she is it was a really great price at £2000. Nothing wrong with it at all starts perfectly, cold warm and runs beautifuly.
Haven't decided what to call her yet but its a really nice step up from my 125 , which you have to thrash in every gear to get anywhere. I'm 19 so it has to be restricted, my first choice was a cbr 600rr but as you guys may know its of the A2 list. I didn't want to buy a stock 47bhp bike so i got this ...
I can add more pictures and ignore the date on the pictures and my dodged up driveway.

looks nice man
I got the 600 version, 1997 model. Brought it with a Viper exhaust system on it. Most people here don't like the Bandit's, I don't see an issue with them. I don't expect it to be a great handler or the fastest bike on the road. But it get's the job done and handling isn't as bad as I thought it'll be due to what has been said about it.
Definitely a step up from a 125, no need to rag the shit out of it and you can hold even 80 up a hill whereas on a 125 you loose speed. Also no need to worry about going into the wind and it slowing you down. |
