Just bought one and I love the bike. But it is built for comfort not for speed. Pulls like a train from 30 in top to 110 plus not sure what it will go on to. But then that's not what this bike is about.
Agree a test drive is the thing to do. I don't think it's a lot faster than my 600 bandit, but its a great bike in my opinion.
Thanks for the welcome posts. Bit new to all this forum stuff. Cheers. Love the bulldog, definitely built for comfort not for speed, but changing gears is so old school now.
Sorry cant help you with makes. But I picked up a set of ,fit everything, guards from my local bike shop (v ten bikes) for £30. They did the job for me and kept the icy wind blast down. Recommended. I had them fitted to a bandit.
