Newbie To The Forum
Pieto Wed 19 Mar 2014, 10:14 am
My first post this morning and already in trouble for not introducing myself. Bugger !
I have a 2012 Bandit 1250S ABS. Only mods ( so far ) are a Givi 47L top box and Yoshi pipe ( did not like the look and size of the original OEM pipe ).
Only got 10 K on it at the moment, need to ride it more.
Been a member of this forum for a few months, just not too active ( that will change ).
Most of my time is taken up with classic Honda's ( 1972 CB750K2 / 1975 GL1000 Goldwing / 1978 CBX1000 ) - all on conditional rego.
Was looking at a Honda for my normal road bike, but the Bandit was such good value for money at the time, so a Bandit it was.
The Bandit sat in the garage for 2 months before I could ride it ( courtesy of a red P plater who took me out on my 3 month old BMW R1200RT - banged up right hand ).
The BMW was written off - so back to my multi pot Japanese bike roots.
My partner also rides a Sym VS150 scooter ( loads of fun to ride ) so the garage is pretty full.
Cheers
Pieto

Welcome aboard Pieto. Where are you from. The CBX stirs some interest, and the K2. The Bandit is a great bang for your buck bike. Lots you can do to it yourself. Enjoy.

Welcome aboard.
You don't ride enough if the Bandit has 10000km and original tyres
You have a nice collection of spare bikes too.

Welcome Pieto
Just read your other post, don't worry we're a forgiving lot here. (except for Hammy)
Be careful of the yoshi pipe and panniers, you may need to heat shield the panniers to prevent them from melting.
