Had a 1200 before my gsx and loved it. For the money I think they are one of the best bikes to buy.......would have another at some point.

Think Froudy still has his bandit???

@shanered6
Tidy looking bike you're going to look at. Be sure to check the condition of the header pipe/link pipe connection behind the chrome shield..They rot out. It's not a biggie to replace the headers apart from getting the header bolts out of the head.

It makes me  :furious: !! .... i was the first to contact him about this bike and he said i will message you the minute i get back , well i sent a text friday night to see when he was around and got no reply !
Anyway got a message back on saturday morning that he'd got some one comming round to see it and that he'd get back in touch if he still had it  :frustrated: , that realy pissed me off i mean i was first and i said i would give him what he wanted for it if it was as good as it looked in the pic's no questions asked .
Then he gets back in touch and says well ive still got the bike if you want to come for it ?   im probably cutting my own nose off but he can go  :jack: off some were !!!

That's shite I had it with a car one saw it and said I can leave you a deposit now and come later in the day to pay the rest. They said come back at 4 and all will be ok .got there at 3.50 and they'd just sold it was raging .
Nothing worse  :furious:

Ok to be pissed off. Take a breather and go take a look at the bike. If you want a little revenge, ask him loads of questions (which you should do anyway). If its in really good condition offer him £1300 :coffeescreen:

I too concur with Andre and Barmy

even if you don't buy it you can still waste his time a lot of it text email and tyre kick . . . . . . you never know might be a really good bike you can get for decent coin
