Ttaskmaster Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 You bought a 1250 Arse Bandit? Aw noooo.... if Touring is your thing, you should have gotten a Yamaha FJ1200!! Having just spent the past three months on an Arse Bandit, it really was a crash course in why they call it such a nasty name!!
wallywant xj6s Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Hi all, as for your comments thanks but having doubts really as never had a suzuki before especially like the 1250 fa st but its a big jump from the xj6s yamaha 600cc so not sure what to exspect as not a fast or mad rider at all.cheers. wallywant xj6s.
Ttaskmaster Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 It's actually (IMO) a very easy bike to ride. Very light for a 1200, fairly nippy, decent upright position. However, it is a Suzuki and the engine announces this fact. It also lacked any soul, in my opinion. It was like having something delivered by a courier who hands you the sign-sheet and item without uttering a word... Still, just my opinion and I'm a Yamaha fanboy anyway. You may get on perfectly well with it. Best of luck.
blackhat250 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Best tourer i think is a Triumph Tiger,,,, comfy loads of grunt,,, paniers . the full package,,, yeh stick around,,, a forum thrives on posters....
clarke Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I'm still loitering here and haven't had a Yamaha for nearly a year now... Watch the finish though as its piss poor on Suzuki
bippo Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Best tourer i think is a Triumph Tiger,,,, comfy loads of grunt,,, paniers . the full package,,, yeh stick around,,, a forum thrives on posters.... I'll second that... Ha ha! 2
Ttaskmaster Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Really nice bike to be sat behind With those specs? Probably even nicer seeing it vanish in the mirrors!! Besides, it's still not a Yamaha!!
