What's the deal? I thought you loved the Bandit? Why get rid of it? I thought you got rid of the Triumph to make room for the HD, did you get something else?

I do love it, it's an excellent bike. The problem is I have arthritis in my lower back and getting knocked off the Trophy a couple of years ago has caused some other problems that just made it a lot worse. After 60 miles or so on the Bandit my hips and lower back start to tighten up pretty good. As it is I can't stand or walk for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time, unfortunatly the Suzuki makes it worse so....
The Dyna doesn't bother it because it puts my back in a different position and I can stretch my legs out and move around more. I hate to do it but the fact is there's no sense keeping the Suzook if I can hardly ride it so I'll sell it and put the money to other uses.

well, not to put too fine a point on it, but the Bandit is a manly 1200, the zx600 is well, lets not beat around the bush eh, a 600 is a GIRLS bike. Our own darlin' Sachi rides one for heavens sake !
Clearly a manly chap like yourself should be on a 1200 at least....

Yeah
He sure sounds like one of those typical MOrons I've been hearing about.
First he says that he doesn't like HDs any more and that the Bonneville is a keeper. Then he sells the Bonnie and buys an HD!Good lord you go through bikes faster than I go through women!

I think there is a guy in your area with a 00 Ninja 600 that is looking to upgrade. You should give him a call.

I dunno.
I think the Bandit is way too much for that guy. Maybe if sarnali removes a sparkplug wire and adds those training wheels they make for Gold Wings.....Safety Features, Inc., Stacy, MinnesotaI think there is a guy in your area with a 00 Ninja 600 that is looking to upgrade. You should give him a call.
The only flogging it would get is that the battery terminals would get worn out from charging. :-D

I am looking for my first bike...50 years old...single mom going through a mid-life crisis. Thanks Deb 503-880-5728
I have a 1993 Honda Prelude Automatic, sunroof, pwr windows. approx. 160,000 Immaculate interior. Bought for my daughter-too fast for her and too small for me (I'm 6'2"). I have listed on Craig's list in Seattle and Portland https://post.craigslist.org/manage/412790041/j9kc5
