How many have a second bike to use as a commuter and leave the Bandit at home or do you just use the bandit for everything?

I use a cage to commute with the odd nice sunny day ride to work (abour 85K'S round trip). The only reason I'm not seeking a second scoot for commute work is I have a business case before the CEO and minister of finance in the house, for a 68 mustang convertible...

You know i've got two but i seem to be using the bandit a lot more than i thought i would. 33.000 compared to 7.000 kls

I purchased a "shitter" to take to the track (95 ZX6R), but it wasn't that shitty so I used it to commute on, until I crashed it at turn 1 @ EC Embarassed

Now it's almost repaired, so looking forward to getting back out on it (although it will be like the bandit for a while with front plastics only).

it has also been spotted at weekends in the vicinity of the Old Pac, PIA & RW.

I have a second bike. but only for the track. i did a few track days on the bandit, but i didnt want to keep taking it all the time.

As for commuting...i mainly commute in a cage...but will do more riding to work this year im thinking
