I forgot to mention, Mash, a Corbin seat is a good add-on. Unless they've improved the stock one a lot since '98.

How's the handling on this bike? I ran into another ZRXer and he said it wasn't quite as tight in the corners as you might hope. Much more touring stance than it gives of the appearance. I love the bike personally. There may be one in my future.

Its not bad I havnt realy pushed her yet only about 100miles on the clock.But you are right she is geared towards a more relaxed ride.

So far it seems realy comfy they did redesign a bit from the first ones as that was big complaint.But as the miles go by I will keep you updated.

One of the mags did a comparo a few years ago, I think with the previous generation B12, and the Kawi 1100 handled better and was considered more sporting, but the Bandit was more comfortable, had better wind protection, and had the centerstand the Kawi lacked at the time. You had choices.....

Well, I ride all year. And I'm not limited to the confines of an over-sized desert! :wink: I have the largest rideable continent on earth at my disposal.

So when are you coming to visit? :lol: (bring Ozzy with you.)
