Bear in mind that any add-ons to your bike are £0 in any trade-in. If you have the stock can/screen then put it back on and sell yours separately.

Not sure on trade in price but if you can't get the new bike price down see what extras they'll throw in. Heated grips for the cruiser? Maybe some luggage as you said carry pillion so that'd maybe mean a little touring. Maybe also a screen if you want one. You get the idea.

My old flat mate's girlfriend has one, if you ever rode your bandit quickly you will hate it. I think they are 40ish bhp and they do not go round corners at all the footpegs are stupidly low and they are not build for roundabouts. Oh and the offical dry weight is 6 tonnes. I would keep the bandit.

Not a fan to honest, then again im not a big fan of any cruisers. Iv built/rode far to many of them to know how truly bad hey are. pretty gutless, i would take a test ride with a pillion on the back before you buy. grounds clearance is poor so dnt expect go round corners at any rate (no ofence to anyone who owns one) but they are just a bit crap iv seen a few with only couple thousand kilometers and they dnt take will to being used every day. the cheap/fake chrome on everything scratches/cracks really easily once things have been taken on and off a few times.

then again what do i know, if you like it , get it.

As map correctly says...put the standard exhaust and screen back onto it. The dealer won't add anything to the value of the bike because it's got aftermarket bits on it...and you can always flog the can and screen on e-bay.

I rode an 800 Intruder not long back. Really comfortable with a fair bit of low end grunt and you don't need to rev them. I found them a bit gutless though as there really wasn't any speed to speak of...I think I touched 105 and that was about as much as it was going to give me.

Still, the whole cruiser ethos isn't about speed so if you are happy and want one and aren't in any particular rush to get anywhere then go get one...you could do a lot worse.

hahahahaha - love it.

From this and the thread with all the tiger teddies, I have to conclude there is something rather 'special' about big2dave.
