    I was also looking at the XJR1300 too, only coz my last was a XJ900 (pre diversion) and it was good and reliable but it felt like it was missing an extra gear, needed a 6th. But because of the shaft drive I couldn't fit a different sprocket to change the ratio. However the bandit has nice styling and a good fairing which looks like a half fairing (that can added too?) and a relatively bullet proof engine.

    I've also been on another thread:

    Makes me think I might do a Return-To-Ride course with Riderskills.co.nz. You guys heard of them? any thoughts?

    Exactly. Focus on the service history (or lack thereof) as opposed to simply how big the odo number is.
