    My current bike is only about 20 kgs lighter than Maha's CB1300 so I am used to cranking a bit of weight off the side stand. Newer bikers are much better weighted than mine is so I am not picking weight will be an issue. I got on a Nightrod at AMPS a couple of years ago, it just popped off the stand into my hands I was amazed.

    It was the anniversay model too, very pretty paint scheme. Closest I have ever come to turning to the dark side I can tell you. Circumstances including no money prevented me from an impulse buy

    GS 1200...a very sexy bike, can be easily lowered if necessary. The one I sat on, I had my feet flat on the ground and my knees were bent!

    BMW 650..like Jafar's...they aren't that tall!

    Honda Bros...basically the big brother of Zac's Spada...older bikes now, but still some good ones around.

    Really? the GS?....looks like it was born with a clubed foot and has been bashed by a rather angry brick wall.
    or....do you mean one of these....http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-351271178.htm

    No. Its either a GS or GSX 1200. Not a bandit. It is a retro styled naked and comes in the most stunning candy apple red. Quite rare.
    I will hunt out a pic.....

    I have the perfect solution for low seat, triple and oooooomph. A Bonneville SE with a 1050 transplant...............and both are sitting in my garage.
    until the first time you gassed it and it bent the frame in half!

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I'm not selling mine but you would be most welcome to have a blat on my bandit if you'd like just for a feel (oooo, and I don't say that to everyone ). The seat height is 770mm and the only thing I could say against it is that it's heavy. However, at 5'1" I find it a really comfortable bike to ride so the offer is there for you to try it.

    Are you launch lunching with the fat bikers tomorrow Dawn? We are heading down, I would love to have a sit on it. 770 is less than the Radian too.
