SuperMe79 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I think the Daytona 675 is the best plan! I bought one in June and it's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philgale Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 iv had a bandit 600s and an sv650 sport, much prefer the sv...bandit is a good all rounder, i used it for everything, went to work on it took the odd pillion.....only problem is its far too easy to scrape the pegs sv is the best bike i have had upto now.....handling is much better than the bandit, easy to ride, two up riding is fine not had a problem with that...go for the sv, but i have never heard anything bad about the fazer....decisions decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christoph Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 So... i took the plunge at the weekend and bought a 07 SV650s with the full fairing - gets delivered on Friday.Was tempted to go new, but this only had 1300 miles on the clock for a year and half old with second service done as well. Tank protector will go straight away... it's bad.Insurance so far: Comp £750; 3PFT £265 but have yet to play off again each other.Thanks for everyone's advice.http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/download/file.php?id=1695http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/download/file.php?id=1696 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Nice looking bike mate, i;ve got the Bandit 650sa and love it , but i am nearly 50 and quite happy just pondering along on the Bandit ,think if i was younger the sv would be my choice.

nman1 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Opted for the Bandit cus it was my first bike and it was good value for the amount of bike you get. Not having ridden anything else I cannot compare the bikes you`ve chosen, but I find the bandit (faired version) very easy to ride and forgiving for a beginner. I now how the 1250 SA version and the more power is fantastic. See if you can arrange some test rides, preferably when the roads are dryer and have noc ice.My old baby at 2 hours old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
