    Looking for Bandit Forum

    I'm not a new member here, but I did buy a new bike a few days ago. It's a 2010 GSF1250SA and I am looking for a Bandit-centric forum to go along with it. I found a few in searching but most seem either dead or on life support. Does anybody here have a Bandit forum they can recommend? If any Bandit owners want to show themselves and post a pic of their bike, feel free.

    My new addition to the fleet:






    Thanks,
    Mark

      Sorry I have no suggestions but congrats on the machine. It looks great. I have admired the Bandit line for a while and looked hard one a few years back.

              I wouldn't be surprised to learn that our GS site is the best and most prolific source of Bandit info.

              (Just pixelate the radiators in your photos. )
              1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                  Nice addition !

                  I have a GSF1200SZ, very nice bike to ride.
                  Same experience as you - looked at several forums and joined a German Bandit forum but i have not found one that's as alive or as good as GSR.
                  These Bandits seem to be virtually without issues, maybe that's part of the reason those forums are not that active ?

                          Possibly. I have questions about modifications and farkles for the longer rides. Things like if uncorking it with a new exhaust and a tune do much for the power and where to buy saddlebag liners to simplify packing and hotel stays.

                              Might be surprised what the folks here know...

                                  There is at least one 1250 Bandit thread on ADVrider. Might be worth some of your time:
