Gen 1 Bandit 1200

Has anyone noticed that Gen 1's  are getting hard to find . . Ive been looking for one in stock condition ,near impossible . Plenty of Gen 2's but i have a soft spot for the first model .Could it be ,at last, they will increase in value . Ive butchered my share ,in fact if i get another it will be number 10 , if i include ,1200 ,600 and 1250 models .

No gen 1's for sale in Oz . At least i can not find one .  Good if you own one ,hang onto it .

Ok then Gus, I will 

No wonder i want another one .

Like all classics, not long ago they were almost worthless.


One day, it might be worth as much as the Z1 it’s parked next to.

I bought mine pictured above for $500, with 55000k's on it

Did you keep that exhaust from the UK Gus?

I

I have the two black ones on Gumtree at present, but may hang on to them. Sweet motor in the butchered one and also have another frame waiting in Perth. Wish I had bought the 7000km maroon one on Gumtree 18 months back for $7k.

I think that went with the last 1200 Bandit i was silly enough to sell . . I do have a few cans in the shed though . Leo Vince ,two brothers and a few more . None are a straight fit but would not be hard to expand a link piece . Bit loud for my taste though but not as bad as DAN MOTO STUFF .

Got Lucky .found one 300kls up the road Stock except for Can 38.000 kls .

Anyone got a decent non original rear shock for sale . Hagon, Ikon ,yss ect I know k6-k7 gsxr shocks fit but they all are past there prime by now .Sick of playing with dog bones as well . Ill pay the extra for "plug and play" .

Very Nice Gus
Must go see the guy a couple door up again, he still hasn't done anything in 12 mths.

I just checked the internet again ,Couldn't find a single Gen 1  .
