    Bandit doesn't have GSXR engine. It has the rather dated GSX600F engine. I personally think there are better bikes for the same sort of money, i.e. CBR600F, Yam Fazer, Honda Hornet. All easy to ride, all reliable, all got more power than a Bandit (and I think lighter too). [smiley=happy.gif]

    Not wanting to contradict anyone, but my advice would be CBR600F. It's a fantastic bike, and quite forgiving. If you want to ride like 'Driving Miss Daisy', you can do. If you want to go touring, you can do that too. If you want to ride like a loony, it'll do that too. The CBR600RR is too much as a first bike. And as for the GSXR750, it's mental. You could get yourself in trouble with that. I know folks will say 'it'll only go as fast as you opening the throttle', but controlling that throttle takes a lot more on the GSXR compared to the CBR. The CBR is such a forgiving bike, with a good riding position, it's good for novices. But, when you get used to it, it'll go like a missile too. No one needs more than a 600 on the road. Any extra cubes is just making up for a deficiency in the trouser department. That's why I ride a 1000... :-[ [smiley=happy.gif]
    You don't wear shorts Mark? ;D

    Is based on the old oil cooled GSXR 750/1100 engines de-tuned. Would agree there are now far better 600 or 1200 bikes about. The other not lised I'd look for are the Sv650, Cagiva Raptor (same engine as the SV), Yam Thundercat, Triumph Speed Four
