Always liked bandits......just straight forward no nonsense bikes that still look good....why dont any of the japanese makers do any thing similar today?.......styling as gone down the pan in my opinion

It's a terrific bike honestly, just keeps going and going and going. If in the unlikely event it went down I'd go straight out and get another. Just incredibly straightforward to ride. Agree on the styling, some shocking stuff out there. That said, the whole industry is on it's knees atm, look what nearly happened to KTM recently.

Yeah agree, they were a bit ungainly looking weren't they, too long for the proportions of the bike. Thankfully mine had the Black Widow can on it when I bought it. Love that silver paint job on the engine bay. Are you still riding now? What are you on?

I hear that! Ducati far too dominant and it's just a Marquez procession every week isn't it.
