1200 Bandit as to be tops after all they sold one or two, not sure yet if it as the same sort of character the old XS had The 1200 is very easy to ride you just point it and go if you mess up you can correct your line and when you touch the brakes it stops and not just slows you down a bit The XS if you mess up going in to a bend you only have one go at it touch the brakes she sits up and gose in a straight line,bit like riding a horse if the XS don't wanna do it your screwed! Having said all that I still love the old beast big heavy bag of shiyt that it is lol........... -
