Hello everyone not sure if I posting on right thread I'm new to this and never been a forum member before.
I have a GSXR 750 K1 RIZLA blue and am swapping it for a Bandit 1200 on an X reg. Is there anything I should look out for on the bandit? Anything common or something to avoid? Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks

Good god, WHY?

OK. Check for general rustiness in the frame, rustiness in the exhaust collector, dodgy electrics ... most importantly, once you're sat on it check out the nut behind the handlebars.

Nah man, running BCF tale.

He said to get risers for your bike, make it more comfy, rather than downgrading.

That. If you're happy with what you have and know its history, then I'd hesitate to swap it for an unknown quantity unless you really fancy a change.

Just don't order a top yoke from https://www.topyokes.uk/ unless you intend for it to be delivered unto your descendants.

Apologies! I thought you both was having a private joke about something as he has seen my bike on swapz. The bandit has been totally rebuilt by himself frame resprayed everything. I know my bike is faster but I do like bandits/hornet 900 and the naked type and long distance is what i want. Since riding over 1000 miles for this years isle of man TT its not comfy for me 6'4" 18 stone. Plus it hurts my balls. I don't really know alot mechanically about the bandits and was wondering of there's anything common to look out for ive bought 2 bad bikes before where loads needed spending.

Got a listing to the bandit, if available?

We can have a gander if you want.

well, you can either provide the web link to the page for the bandit or you can use imgur.com and copy the links and post them here.
