Pickin up the new bike today

**plop** · 17th September 2009, 14:29

Well made the choice to release the Buell and i have brought a new Bandit so picking it up today. living out in the wopwops (masterton) i decided this bike would serve my purpose a little better than the Buell, Sad to see the Buell go but unfortunatly couldnt hold on to both. Looking forward to my ride tonight

Sound choice , they are a great bike, Has it got ABS braking?

Is it the GSF1250SAT ?

I came really close to buying one of those last year.

Nice modern engine. Fantastic value for money.

Let us know what you think.

Hi all,

Photo added of my new toy, I must admit was a little nervi on the first ride over the hill so took it easy, but after a week and a 1000k (Didnt take long)
1 or 2 netural revs at the lights but i must say i am enjoying the ride to work each day. Feels like a lot less work getting it around the sharp corners as to the Buell it almost feels like cruise control.
Turned up home big smile on the face and the girlfriend ask if i was happy to see her, replied..i just brought a new bike.
