woah.Transition from scary to calm,precise riding.Bandit-fair learners bike but too "hooliganistic".The Bandit brought the worste out in me and I was in danger of loosing my year old license.Looked for months for "my " bike and eventually saw this beautiful machine and had to have it.Bought it untried and hadnt even heard it start.I fit it like a glove and wouldnt swap it for anything.Very proud its British made as well:should withstand the weather better than Jap bikes.
