You need to get your post count up a bit more Gillie, there's an anti-spam measure in the forum which prevents new members posting any links or up-loading anything, soooooooo join in the banter a bit and then you'll have no problem

Gillie · 11-14-2008, 08:53 PM

Ah, ok...i hope thats not you giving me a licence to talk kak now, grotbag!

Welcome to the forum, how are you finding the bandit, managed my first ride out on mine this week, great fun, so much quicker than the GS500 I passed m test on

Hi Simon! Finding the bandit lots of fun, although I'm a fairly big guy at 6'4 and 17st, the wind blast is a pain in the neck and i'm already hoping for a bit more acceleration power (should've got a 12!

). I find i really have to plan overtakes as the bike doesn't seem to have enough to just pull out and go, even dropping a gear. some of this will be down to lack of experience no doubt, but the bike is lugging a fair weight! handling wise it's fine, you can really fling it about when the confidence is up and it seems to handle well in the wet too. all in all, i think it's good for a first bike without going daft and putting your life (and licence) at risk!

Now got a pic up...quality not great as it was taken with my mobile
