Re: Bikerpiker
Right.....due to me selling my Firestorm cos of aches n pains when riding it over a longish distance, i've went and bought this ,...It's an O2 Reg Bandit 1200S, done only 7,500 miles , it's basically all standard , it's got FSH and i got it for under 2k , ,the problem being ive still got aches n pains .........och well.....it was worth a try
I done more miles riding it home yesterday than it has done in the past year ,everything on it is like new , very long tax and test ,new battery ,brand new Battleaxe front tyre ,only thing is it's a Macadam on the back,but its only done 300 miles or so ,as the bike was hardly used.
Anyway ,heres a few pics of my Bandit 1200s

Re: Bikerpiker
You little devil you Stevie the first pic I saw when opening your post was your old bike, I though for a second you'd bought it back
I think you did very well in getting this new bike for less than 2k. It's not the easiest thing to find a standard-ish Bandit as you've found.
I'll ask you what you think of it once you've had time to adjust to it a bit more and ride it when it's dry It looks immaculate going by the pic's
Chris.
PS. You must be happier now you've got yourself another bike

Looking Good Stevie.
Looks like a real bargin. That back tyre should keep you going for a few years yet My Big bro had one on his CBR 6 and only changed it cause he couldn't destroy it and got board of wheel spins

Hi mate ,aye, the straightish bars take a bit of gettin used to ,ones with the grips that sweep back more would be better probably.thegasman34 wrote:glad you got your new bike stevie looks really nice .Bit the same myself with the aches and pains with the bike going to try new higher bars and foam grips with heavy bar ends,
