Finally got my Honda back today after a rebuild, so now I really do have the choice today, do I take the red one, or the blue one?
The Bandit is now being sold after riding it and deciding it's way too fast for me. So I'm looking to buy a sports 250, possibly and Nsr250 if I can get my hands on one. If not I guess i'll have to wait. Mr. Green

Bikes! I now have a red Yamaha Rxs100 and a Blue Honda H100. Both 100cc strokers. Now I have the choice when I got out in the morning! Very Happy

I've been told an Nsr250 is pretty damn fast too!

Cliff mate, if you can't handle a bandit, an NSR250 will kill you. Tr a nice safe 400 Very Happy

An NSR250 is likely to be quite a bit faster than a 600 Bandit.

All the best

A fair point. But I want something that's going to scare me so I don't get over confident. Confused

The Bandit would be a better first big bike than an NSR250 (or any two stroke 250), also consider sports 400'c like Waves CBR400 type thing.Thumbs Up

4 strokes don't really do it for me. I love the whine when you hammer it off the lights on a 2 stroke. Razz

Get a sports 250, you know it makes sense.

I can partly see why a bandit would scare you. Your used to revving the tits off light things, and a bandit is a far less revvy very heavy thing.

Probably taller than you too.

He is very small and he has only ridden a 100cc bike on the road so it will seem fast.

Ahh, you want a kawasaki H2 750cc 2-stroke triple then, or a suzuki Gamma...Early model TL1000s? Wink
