Honestly, I quite like my 2002 600S. It's not so fast that I'm flirting with jailtime getting a hustle on through the twisties. It's a bit lardy, but it's also big enough to go two-up with enough luggage for a naughty weekend away. I'm not trackdaying it and there are madder riders out there than me, and it's not as fast or agile as a hardcore 600 or litre bike, but there's enough about it to feel more than a bit naughty.
Unlike the mondeo, which is irritatingly quiet and smooth to the point of me having to set the satnav to beep obnoxiously at me lest speeds creep up to jailtime without feeling fast at all.
I'd hate to replace the bandit with something sublimely quick, I think the VFR i rode fits this description. If I owned one, i'd probably have a ban by now. I guess my requirements have changed a bit as there's now the option of car, but if anything my next bike should be more thrashing a slower bike.
Paradoxicly the black widow exhaust ruins the smooth linear power delivery that makes the bandit quite nice in traffic, and makes it much better for having the power come in harder later in the rev range. Whilst many bikes get press praise for linear power delivery I'd rather have something that actually rewarded riding it hard. ____________________ Bandit. does. everything. |
