I prefer them to the single, dated style of the hornet though. A Bandit is a possibility for my first bike

I prefer them to a single as well , I think it looks more streetfighter ,, my first bike was a GS500 ,, I bought it off the motorcycle instructor as he was retiring..
I loved it , it was a great little bike..

It's the water cooled bandit that is rather top heavy, 2007 on I think. The oil cooled bikes are not too bad.

Funny thing is that in a few years time when the people that had Bandits first time round as their first bike or as a cheap and fun machine, want to re-live their Bandit days they will also want to cover them in the same tat and the accessories and modifications that they had first time round.

That will include shorty can's and those twin headlamps etc.

Might be worth buying a few sets of lights now and storing them away until they are in high demand like original Micron pipes are for RD350LC's etc. Wink

Yeah they are a little dull , I like the chrome ones , I only got the bike the other week , paid a grand for it , when I give it a service and get chain spockets I will start blinging it up a bit..

To be honest when I went to see it , I was more interested in the engine , making sure it was all running sweet , lights and stuff like that I can change later..
I do like the back light though , the indicators are in the back light..
I think I did ok for a grand.
The man in the shop told me its worth around £1300 pound when I took it for an MOT ,, The chap that had it had another bike anyway and he said I hate the bike as he likes his cruisers , he just got it as a run around..
He had only done 47 miles in ten months on it...

Sorry Siver Fox , I no its a bit late now but I missed your question..
My bike is oil cooled not water like Mr Palarbear says.

Yeah the weight is seems ok , not had to pick it up off the floor Shocked .
I had a new CBF Honda a few years ago , when I came back from a ride parking up , for some mad reason I thought I put the side stand down , got off the bike and let go Embarassed .
There was not much damage to the bike , why I did that , not sure why Mr. Green
