May be picking up a Bandit 12

[binge]

Mate has offered me his R reg, Bandit 1200. It's in good nick.
Engine has had some work, Did a 118bhp power run.

Other than that, it's fairly standard, Renthal bars fitted.
Cant remember the mileage, but I know it's fairly decent.

Getting it for £900.

Stuck a picture of it up on the Pit bike club, already had a fairly naive member of the forum put it down, by trying to relate it to the 600.

Anyway, Picking it up next week hopefully. Cant wait.

If your used to decent handling of a sportsbike/sm style pit, might be worth considering the tlr front end conversion. Other than that, when you moving to folkestone? Theres a lot of high speed sweeping roads down that way.

That's real purrdy, and looks like a good buy at £900.

Don't normally like red, but is it flat red or is it that two-tone, smokey type of red? (hard to tell in the pic).

Friend of mine sold his P reg'd one to buy a CB500 race bike lol looks very similar to his. I can't remember exactly what he'd done to his but I'm sure he had GSXR1100 cams

Went for a ride with a guy who was on one, it didn't look keen on going round corners, but still looked fun!

Handling is fine. Real man's bike. Takes a bit of muscle and skill to hustle at speed round the twisties. Anyone used to a plastic fantastic would probably end up casualty after ten minutes of riding a Bandit 12

Hi

Looks pretty decent, especially for that little.

Hi

Mine is 1216cc. Any more than that and you need to machine out the crankcases to take larger sleeves.

When set up for the flat slides I think it made 157hp. Suspect it has lost a bit of that now.

Trouble is that to get more power would cost a fortune, and mean pretty much throwing away what has already been done. It would cost barely any more to just buy a 'busa.

Don't think the turbo kits are that good for the Bandit. Yes you get more power (and the cheap way to get low compression pistons for a Bandit 1216 is to just use stock 'busa pistons), but to me not enough to make it worth the hassle of a turbo and the fun of trying to get carbs to work with a turbo.

All the best

Keith
