Bought a 2001 gsf bandit, a little slower than the cbr but tidy and less hidden gremlins haha

Looks nice.
I find 'nakeds' are much more honest bikes as they age as there are no fairings to hide the years of neglect.

Looking forward to getting out the cbr was great but each time I fixed something I had something else to do this bandit has been completely re built by someone but runs smooth no issues so hopefully I’ll be able to look at some longer rides

Nice looking bandit Damien, as they do most things pretty well for a situp roadster. It has a centrestand for that all important chain lube. Rock on, see you on the rides. I ride a bandit too.
