Just wonderdd if anyone has owned both of these or just 1?
Ive read all the reviews and the 1250 is more of a tourer
Use wise
I have a small bike for commuting already
It will be used for weekend runs and an odd euro or uk tour maybe once a year

Dont really like the big touring bikes like tigers ,gs etc
Dont want a full on sports bike ,but something with a small fairing or screen will be ok

Test rode MT07 year ago ,triple s 795 and trident 660 last week as a friend works the dealers
just sold my urban gs 3 weeks ago
Cheers

The GSX-S is a comfortable sportsbike. The Bandit 1250 is a roadster. Totally different bikes.

You'll need to ride them to see which one you prefer. The GSX-S is quantitatively the better bike in every single way, but it depends on what you want it for.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
