Bought this just under 2 years ago - would like to keep but need the money for renovations... you know the story.

Real tidy mechanically and cosmetically apart from some rash in the tank from a couple of fall overs and some on the rear panels from silly use of tiedowns etc. I have had plans to get some touch up paint and tidy it up but not go around to it yet. Good tyres, new warrant and 3 month rego. mechanically standard. Rack, hot grips, fancy levers etc.

Where did you get your pack rack from?

Just bought a 919 and that one you have looks like the go.

Its a ventura one - came on the bike but easy enough to come by from most bike shops.

Good choice :scooter:

You had a Bandit 1200 didn't you?

Yeah, that was me with the 1200 bandit. Have to say the 919 is a bit lighter a feels lot more agile. Probably quite similar power wise. I'd say I prefer the 919 if I had to pick one.

Maybe the shock needs a new Hornet?

Im the opposite. Bandit has a proper frame and a decent linkage rear suspension. Having owned both I would and have gone for the Bandit. Hornet is just to mushy.
