Ride magazine says :

"Fast (enough), easy-handling, comfy, roomy and cheap"

"Expect to pay £2200 - £2500 if it's from a dealer"

My mate just bought one. He loves it, I will try and get him to come on and post about it, he used to look at the forum a while back.

As far as 0-60 speed, it's not far off my Firestorm. Obviously towards higher speeds the Firestorm is better, but lower down the difference between the two is hardly noticeable

M8 has a 2000 Bandit 6, topend is about 125, 0-60 is around 3.6-3.8 or something. Good bike lots of room, pretty cheap and bulletproof engine, do rust thought on the swinger and the frame and some other little places alittle heavy like 200KG!, the 2000 has different suspension and different style from the 98/99 models but don't quote me on that 1.

I had a Bandit6 K2...highest indicated I got was 145...dunno what the 0-60 but it was a darn site better after I'd fitted the bigger rear sprocket (50 tooth)...great bike but be prepared to spend on goodies...mine got new fork springs, preload adjusters, hugger, clear rear lens, slightly illegal bright headlight bulb, LED bulbs, new exhaust blah blah blah...
