Hi there,
I'm thinking of getting a new bike. My last one was a Bandit 1200. I really loved the general grunt and torque of the thing. Lots of smiles 'n' miles.
I've test-ridden some other bikes recently. CBR650F not quite my thing. VFR800 a step in the right direction (refined, stable). Then a GSX1250 (the new guise of the Bandit). That reminded me just how much I love the grunt and torque again. However, in comparison to the VFR, it was evident how much heavier and 'cheaper' it felt.
Obviously, another contender for my money is the Fazer 1000 !
I appreciate you guys might be a little biased, but has anyone here made a similar journey?
Are there any other bikes in this sort of low-end torque market that I might enjoy ?
Would the Fazer _600_ be enough following the B12? (I'm not sure it would be after my CBR650F experience).
I've found this example locally and would welcome any input:
