Hi, I have recently bought a 2004 Bulldog bt 1100 after a few years of owning a bandit 1200s. I always wanted a shaft drive big bike, and am very pleased with the relaxed pace of the bulldog. There is plenty of useable power and it is quite comfortable, easy to use in traffic and plenty of oomph for motorway work. It is a totally different type of ride to a large 4 cylinder bike, but none the worse for that. The finish is excellent, and the fuel economy good. Totally recommend it.
