bandit 650s

[rAjOaNa]

Jus saw one along CTE while i was taking shelter ard noon. Looks Not bad for a uncommon model. From the front as the bike was comming towards me i was wondering wat bike is tht.

[Xiaozhu]

Getting mine 2-3 weeks ltr.. Hee..

[jacky80]

saw 1 at bbdc yesterday thought is FAZER1000 but look carefully is bandit 650s

[hachi]

Those who had it pls review. Top speed? How is the totque cos max torque at 4000rpm. Should kick many asses in its class due to the low end torque. How about highway overtaking abilty?

I'm travelling at 90-100km/h constantly n full tank can last me ard 330km excluding reserve..

Full tank ard $26 but based on Msia's caltex petrol rate which I think is ard $1.61..

Might cost u $30 if ya using local petrol..

[kish_garfield]

firstly i heard from a reliable bike shop that for NTUC now they don bother whose name is on the paper. they would charge u the more ex one

[Getz_Ard]

Check UK Bike magazine O-60miles at 4.2s and top speed 133miles/hr. not tat bad compare to fazer 6 in terms of performance n price. Top speed comparable to vara 1k, v strom 1k and tdm 900. So cnfrm can tour. good mid range as posted in the mag.

[kish_garfield]

yo bro does it matter that a vehicle can reach 200miles per hr but take 1/2 hr to reach it????
