Shudder...
Not quite sure I can sink to THOSE depths! :lol :lol
I looked at the Bandit before getting the Fazer. The one word that came to mind was "meh". Although, to be fair, I was 100% sold on the Fazer. Until I rode it.
I should add, due to habitual long distances, I'd like a bit of fairing! Half faired or fully faired, as long as there's something!!I should also add - I'm not short. I'm 6ft 3, and need an appropriately sized bike. Me on a 125 - imagine a circus bear on a bicycle, but twice as grumpy! :lol

Hmmm, can't think of a bike that might suit you right now. I know it's got to have a reasonable physical size. I'll give it some thought.
That was based out of my Aunt's house in quiet Suffolk to boot. As for mileage - I use my bike. A lot. I'm a 10K per annum guy.

A spot on the pedestrian side, but I wouldn't turn one down. If I could find it in my price bracket. I was eyeing up an FJ1100 on Biketrader the other day though... Same insurance as the FZS!
Also, where do people source their bikes? Because Bike trader, Ebay and MCN are bleedin' expensive!! :eek
