Scouring ebay and found this, any one want to lend me 4 grand?

Yeah, thought not!


Opinions would be nice, good or bad.

Personally I really like it, not sure about the small tank and extra wide forks mind, but overall nice.

Quite like it but more thought should have gone into where the areas have been 'blanked' out with plain panels. Just behind the headstock and under the seat.

Maybe a different headlight too.

on pure looks then i say yup its great.
then mr practical looks at it.
its a bandit 6 for £4000!
its from a seller who joined ebay just to put on this add.
exhaust looks like it wont last many right turns or roundabouts.
i own a bandit 6 and get low 40's mpg and im a steady(slow)rider.
that tank hasnt got many miles in it.
why tune a bandit 6 to make less than a scrapyard b12?
it does look ok though.
but £4000 for a bandit 6?

So they started out with a shite bike, made it worse and are now asking more money for it? Where's the logic?

Is that bike parked above a cliff? would it be such a shame if the wind lifted it off the sidestand and gave it a push start...?

Always remember - you can't polish a turd!

There was a bloke who made a bandit 600 into a 1200, kept boring it out IIRC, was either in street fighters mag or BSH.

Why I hear you ask?

Because they wanted to.

I think thats the point really.

Some like stock some like it different, but surely variety is the spice of life etc etc.
