bandit12 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I picked my user name because my maroon '98 Bandit 1200 S was probably my favorite bike and I had to let it go several years back. I picked up another one on Sunday, a blue '97 1200 S, it has a few scrapes, dings and a few miles on it but it seems to run good and the only thing that I saw not working was the tag light (bad bulb). It has new tires, brakes and battery so it should be good to go for a while and I started going over it tonight as a just in case.My kid is working out a schedule for me to ride it on the days he can't, lol.By arshooter at 2012-04-29By arshooter at 2012-04-29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I like the first gen bandit, and you can pick them up for so cheap... Lots of bike for what you pay. Definitely a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks everyone, I traded the 2000 DRZ 400 for it and I couldn't believe that the DRZ actually booked higher than the Bandit but it was worth it for me because now I can look forward to a ride for more than 50-60 miles.I will be leaving this one stock because the seventeen year old don't need any encouragement on showing off for the guys, he's been there done that and hopefully remembers the lesson he learned.

speedytriple Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Found a old pic of my bandit after I did some work to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I never cared as much for the model with no fairing until a friend of mine bought a silver one. There is something about the silver that it looks worlds better than the other colors with no fairing, that was a nice bike speedytriple.

bandit12 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 speedytriple, here is a pic of the '98 I had. I stripped the edge of the wheels just like yours, I'm not sure if that will get done on this one or not.By arshooter at 2012-05-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Nice. Mine came with the fairing, i liked the naked look better. I sold the fairing and used the money to do the naked conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
