Always had fond memories of my Bandit 12 that i had some years ago.... so i decided to give the new 1250 a go.
700 miles into it and i'm very impressed with it so far.

I had one for a while, I found the seat very uncomfortable, and the engine very dull (even though it was the quickest bike I have ridden). I also found the OE tyres (dunlop?) absolute shite. I managed spin up the rear puting the power on very easily even if I wasn't caining it.

Blueflame will stubby any can you buy from them at no extra charge. The standard size are way too long.

I dont agree with the engine being dull, the torque is phenomenal compared to the old 1200, but the D218 boots are shyte and only last 2,000 miles. A lot of Bandit owners are raving about the Maxxis Supermax, so i'm gonna give them a go seeing as they're only £99 a pair.
The seat i found an instrument of torture and could only ride 30 miles before getting a numb ass, but either the seat is getting softer with use or i'm just getting used to it, cos now i can ride £100 miles without pain.
