I bought this new Bandit and like it very much. I couldn't ride it enough. It has great torque. Its smoothness is incredible and is silent above 50 mph. I feel it is an awesome bike and would recommend it to anyone. Its acceleration is great from any lower speed and has lots of top end. I found that this bike likes the downshift (sometimes two gears) for the quick pass without feeling over-revved. Needing to hit the brakes to enter the freeway is not uncommon! Its fuel injection is very smooth and has great fuel economy ranging from 38 mpg to 46. The few downsides to the Bandit are the hard seat and no storage. I had hoped the 1250 cc big block zuke would have more hair raising stories like its cousin but with each day, the after market industry will remedy that I'm sure.
