Explain..

I am thinking of getting one, the extra fast orange one.

Pro/Cons?

I ride a 98 Bandit 12s now, compare?

Cool looking bike (at least the older ones - the new ones kinda funky looking to me), WAY plenty of power, small wheel base.

Kinda reminds me of my Radian with twice the motor in it.  Very limited for a pillion, otherwise pretty mean looking and riding streetfightin' machine!

My wife has one and I've taken it out a few times now.  I LOVE this bike.  It does have some buzz over 6K, but don't feel it's too bad.  Mirrors get blurry in the higher revs as well.  Handles great and yea...it's fast!!!

I have a B12 and a buddy with a Z, the Bandit has more grunt down low, the Z rips up top...Bandit is more comfy, the Z handles nicer, Bandit is easier to work on, the Z requires fewer valve adjustments per mile, the Bandit is a better bike for getting out of town for a couple days, the Z is more fun for a day ride. Either way, two great bikes. This is my bandit

I hope to get it this week.

2003 one of the uber fast orange ones.

Should be a decent switch for me as I am looking for something a bit more city friendly than my B12.

Probably gear it down some, toss on a power commander and a set of CF slipons and call it done.
