love it love it love it

... and just a quick note to say that after sitting in the shed for two months without rego (as I was riding my other recently rebuilt bike) I finally succumbed to the call of the bandit and put rego on it today.

Suffice to say that I LOVE THIS BIKE.

It's so damn quick and it looks great. Just took it for a suburban shopping spin today, so mebbe only 20km. So much fun dodging traffic and blasting away from the lights, without even trying. And to think I was possibly maybe thinking of selling it cos who needs two bikes anyway. Silly boy.

Planning to put another 1000km on it for a christmas day-on ride.... Blast the cobwebs outa it

As an aside, I am now looking for hard panniers for it. Suggestions?

Thanks.

I know the feeling    

As for the panniers.......Givi V35 A good size 34lt each not too big. and styled to suit the bike

here's a shot of mine, only got them 2 weeks ago.

these are V35NT which gives you the white lenses on the panniers

V46 top and V35 sides (Givi)

I agree the Bandit is sensational in traffic.

That's exactly what I like most about mine.
