Congrats on the purchase, if it has two wheels, and you ride it - that's all that matters
Does that include Segways and bicycles?

I am a slightly biased 2001 Bandit 600S owner. The bandit out powers the little twin by 15 hp stock and its capable of much more. The Bandit standard riding position is much more comfortable and if I want to get sporty I duck behind my fairing and let it rip. The passenger seating position on the SV is high and uncomfortable, the Bandit passenger rides just inches higher than the rider on a standard seat.
The after market has been kind to the bandit and so much is available, rearsets, bodywork, pipes, cams, big bore kits, anything you want.
To me it was no comparison, Ill take the Bandit S model any day............, well I did!

That is because the Bandit is a keeper. Once you ride one you will never get tired of the comfort or the surprising amount of performance.
Accessory manufacturers have realised this and provide a stack of great add-ons and upgrades to make the bike even better.
