@Gixxus Christ! I looked at some of the first gen bandits but frankly wanted something with efi to hopefully spend less time messing around with carbs. The reviews are pretty spot on for this bike, the instant low end torque is pretty exciting and the mid range is good, but there's definitely no high end rush by. Holeshot makes a tuner though that seems to really improve on that, so that with an exhaust and a lower profile windshield are first on my to-do list with this bike. We'll have to see when we can meet up, or when we both go to one of these events
