Having been a Bandit 1200 owner and only seen about 2 of them in the entire time I owned it, I am surprised that so many of you recommended it.

The SV is a good bike. I had the previous incarnation of the SV when it was still a Bandit, and now my brother has it in his garage. They are a nice middle of the road bike. Just buy it knowing you will probably trade up one day, and you are good for it. Also, they are wheelie machines, so that...

Excellent photos.

Many of the others already nailed it down, but there are a lot of reasons.  Some of mine include: Speed - it's fast.  Not in a competetive "I have to race everything" way, but in the nice way that it's reputation is clear and I don't have to race because of it.  Clearly, it's stupid fast...

People still fall for it because the concept simply plays on our need to get a "good deal".  It's the same scam that car dealers use, except that theirs is legal where this is not. It was said like 5 times, but it's simple.  Deal locally, period.  No shipping, and no escrow.  The newest scam I...

+1 I am not going to even get into the Papa Smurf discussion about how citizens shouldn't run, or how badly the law will kick your butt when they do catch you.

I kinda like it. It's unique to say the least, and could be a very high style wing. I wouldn't own one, but I wouldn't say no to taking one for a spin either.

I'm trying to do a little research on the Moto GP event in Indy this year. Since it's the inagural I have a feeling that it will be huge (even though Laguna will probably always be the more technical track). Does anyone know how this is going to work? The speedway is only selling 3 day tix for...

Wow. Really nice bike. I've always been iffy on the Duc, but that is a bike that could convert many people.

I used electrical tape as well. It's easy and cheap.

I'm pretty non-technical, and I was still able to do this. My kit (the Galfers) had everything included (crush washers and the like). And yes, the bleeding was the "hardest" part, but it's more that hand bleeding a brake system is a pain in the rear. Nothing in this process is complex beyoind...

+1 My system won't get near the power that a full would get, but I don't care. I ride with a lot of cruisers, and it's the sound I wanted. It's obscenely loud (my friend described a NASCAR sound), and is still stupid fast. Stock upper and mid-pipe, with welded open shorties on the ends...

I did a little time this weekend on the bike, need to get the oil changed. Saturday here in Dallas was great, and Monday was nice as well.

+1 As my suzuki maintenence guy always tells me: "Those little Japanese dudes are pretty smart. If they don't tell you to do something, there is probably a reason."

wurd.
