Don´t question it. This is the best motorcycle on the market. I have owned several motorcycles from Harleys (the worst) to metric cruisers and adventure class. The Bandit has power galore, it handles like a race bike, and after I installed a vario windshield, it is relatively comfortable. My only complaint is the stock seat. Like most OEM seats, it becomes uncomfortable after an hour and a half. But all things considered, this is the most fun I have had on two wheels. If you are undecided, just buy it. You won´t regret it.
