I picked up my new Bandit yesterday - I like very much Very Happy
1,500 miles, hardly a mark on it, rear hugger, top box. And Tweety Pie, obviously! Just for the record, it was on before I bought it... (but I won't be taking them off Smile)

You may Smile £2895, which I thought was pretty good. Still got 3 months manufacturer's warranty, 2 months tax and doesn't need an MoT until October 2006. Probably could have got a similar one cheaper if I hadn't wanted yellow... but that's clearly the only colour to have Razz

Oooh!

Nice bike. Enjoy.

I wish I was a stronger and more physical bloke to handle such a machine. 'Cos I'd like something like that myself. But I'm physically, vertically and medically challenged (too weak, too small and need both hips replacing) to ride a machine like yours.

BTW, to avoid cloning you'd be better off with your picture like this...

I agree with you, Jon B

I was a little concerned myself when the full number plate was displayed.

I even wiped out my own plate when I attached a picture of my bike. OK, it might be an old bike (see photo), but it's no less of a temptation to the less honourable members of our comunnity!

They know who they are. And they don't give a f...f...f...f.... damn who they offend!

I think they only offered it in yellow in 03 and 04, so I didn't have many to aim at - I don't think they were very popular for some reason. Who wants yet another black/blue bike anyway?! Razz

That's an impressive deal - were you holding a gun to the salesman's head by any chance?! Smile
