I own a 1200 bandit and I enjoy it a lot. I think it feels effortlessly fast due to all that torque at low rpm. I was considering getting a 1995 gsxr 1000 then I found a 2001 bandit 1200s with 4k on the clock and stole it for $1600 . I´m happy with my decision and feel its more comfortable than my friends R6 and I stomp him into the ground every time we run em.
