I have seen the light

I have been a Bandit owner now for about 6 months and love the bike and have just now joined your forum.( long term bike was a yamaha FZ1). I'm 54 and retired a couple of years ago
and despite always having big 4cyl jap bikes I was tempted and wandered in the valley of darkness for several years ( often above the posted speed limit )
on 3 cyl triumphs and a big twin Harley ( A mate said you have to have 1 once in your life). But I have seen the light and am saved since returning to the big 4 jap bike.
I'm more of a tourer than boy racer now and bought a slightly used 08 Bandit with the Givi panniers and a whole lotta extras and headed to Kunanurra and Darwin with some mates
from SE QLD.
The bike was brilliant on a long trip, comfortable at reasonable speeds ,good fuel economy and water proof luggage. (The Heal tech tuner and gear indicator is a must in my humble opinion)
I'm not much of a mechanic so I've already picked up some good info and look forward to sharing info with the other members. To be honest I will probably benefit more contribute.

Hi BB and welcome aboard. Enjoy.

Welcome to the mob mate

Welcome banditboy.
"Seeing the light" riding a 07 - 08 S Bandit is a bit of a oxymoron.
The p!ss poor stock headlight on these models is a often discussed topic here. Hows yours?

I wish we could make that a manditory part of the sign up process. Its pretty poor form by anyone who joins and doesn't have the basics covered.Why the big secret?
