Bought another Bandit

If it does, a Holeshot big bore will be in order!
It's funny....the bike I was riding when I had my accident was a 2004 Bandit 1200S just like this one...on a Friday I ordered from Dale at Holeshot new exhaust and jet kit for it....on Monday it got totalled....I called him from my hospital room to see if I could cancel it, and luckily he had not shipped yet. Lol
Dale is a great guy with a deep connection to those bikes. I've been looking at a '99 here off and on, but if I were to buy it, I'd need to sell the Harley, since it would become an obsession.
Pilot, I know you've seen my opinion before, but owning both, I like my "99" a lot better than my 2005. It feels 40 lb. lighter, more agile, and comfortable to ride, not going to mention the more comfy seat. I'd like to ride an "02", just to see if it's more like a "99" or an "05". No doubt the "05", with their blue/white paint, looks waaaay better than any other Bandit. Talked with Dale, back when I got my "05", about raising the "05" handlebars about 3", he said lots of folks were wanting to raise them. At the time he was putting together a kit for doing it, hose extensions, wire harness extensions, taller bars, the appx. price he quoted, I just didn't call him back about it. Did get, and do love, the gear position indicator from him, looks factory, brings back memories of riding the old GS's.

Hmmmm.....Harley or Bandit???? Lol....do it my friend.
I've said it before, the Harley is a really wonderful bike with a ton of character. The Evo motor is as reliable as anything Japan has created, and with 90 hp and 80+ lb ft of torque, it's a quick bike.
Now, having said that, I do think I could see getting a Buell with an EVO motor.
Although I prefer the look of the tube frame Buells, the XB series was pretty damned great.
Nice find! Congrats! My new toy is a Tenere 700. A bit pricier (and a bit newer) but also a bit of a steal if I'm honest! One day I'll get some riding in up there... Few more years before the kids hit college!

A buddy has the 700 and loves it. Rode with to Ontario and back a couple of years ago. Yep, you come up here...BC is a great province to ride in

Sorry my Bandit is the only one I've ridden.
