Which bike would you choose

[mrsstue11 0]

First of all i would like to say sorry for not being on here for a while but as you know Stue11 hogs this site so i never get chance to go on here.
Anyway Stue11 has sold his 600 Bandit as you already probably know he's having a bit of a dilema as to what to get next so i thought i'd help him out with starting a poll.
He has three bikes inmind but just can't decide so i will leave it in your good hands to decide.

I would go for a Triumph speed triple Or if its got be 1 in the poll It would be the 1200 bandit but not a new shape one , Hope its some help

[yankeedoodle 0]

tricky one, i love all 3 bikes. I suppose what he will use it for mostly.

id be tempted to say gsx1400

[XS1100 0]

XJR1300SP OR Bandit 1200

sounds good

I love my B12K6 but if having a change I'd look at Honda CB1300, Kwack Zrx 1200, or Gsx14oo.
love the speed triple but if you take Mrs Stu out on back may be a bit limited.

I'd go for one of the later as new as poss K6 B12 not a over rated Knackered Mk1

i reckon the poll maybe a bit biased considering the amount of bandit owners on the forum

[sweban 0]

Suzuki GSX 1400

[pugeyed 0]

oh my god it has to be the gsx 1400

[Stue11 0]

Still cant decide allthough ive got a couple more months of saving to do, ive ridden the B12 and the sv1000s but not the gsx1400 so i think closer to the time i better book a test ride and maybe then ile make me choice

[dick65 0]

nice one stu, tough decision though

[lee1 1]

b12 for me mk1 though,but if I was as big as stue it would be the gsx 1400

[firehawk 0]

i would be between the sv and the b12. I've never owned a b12 though, just a b6 so don't know which I'd prefer of the 2. My next bike will hopefully be a b12. They both look good for their style types. The sv is a sexy sports bike and the bandits look good with a few trick bits.

nice bike!
just check the collector box though looks a bit dark.

[flange 0]

I noticed that bike while i browsing the other day and tought it looked a good one with not many owners and low miles
Has a few extras too

[gtman 0]

They are local to me but not heard a lot about them to be honest so cant offer any advise as to the quality that they sell.
But if you're mechanic friend knows his stuff, he'll spot weather its a pup or not.
Might call in if I'm over that way.

Take some extra cash with you, Just Bandits is about 20 yards away !

[dick65 0]

tidy bike stu and not a bad price,the dark bit on the collector looks like weld to me deffo worth a look

re: the poll, it would depend on the usage - I have a friend with a gsx1400 and it's a lovely bike - very good for two up riding, but I've always had a soft spot for big capacity sports twins so my personal vote went for the sv1000

yeah it does look nice mate but looks the same as your old one really go for something diff and those straight bars make sure they are superbike ones not crosser ones cos i had them on my xjr and i couldnt ride it past 70 used to shake like s--t

All 3 are nice bikes, and having a B12 myself , they're a nice comfortable bike. However, for me every time I see a GSX 1400 I smile . They're a lovely bike and, apparently, very easy to ride. As has been said, try and get a test ride and see which feels more comfortable.
