Title: back to a gs
Post by: karl on September 13, 2009, 05:35:36 AM
well.... after a very long stay away from bikes. looks like i'm coming back to the gs world.

only had a couple of bikes since the last gs. an rgv250 and a 750 Bandit. been without a bike full stop for the last 2 years nearly. so nows the time to get back on one again. honestly i'd prefer another banit, but i'm pretty skint at the min. but it's also gonna be a learning bike for me... so would rather do it on a cheaper bike tbh.

i now have a welder, compressor and so on in my control now, so will be playing and experimenting. chopping the back end off and going for a stealth/german fighter look.

lower gearing, lowered front end, raised backend. and have a bash at running an underseat exhaust.

they're the plans anyway. but will most likely be a couple of months before i'm back on two wheels.

howdy all  anyway!!

750 bandit? never seen one, sounds like a fun bike.

Good luck with the GS!

the 750 bandit was a japanese import. was basically a hybrid of the 600 and 1200 for parts and with a de-tuned gsxr750 engine apparently.

the rear pegs and clock off the 1200 then the rest pretty much like the 600.

this was it....
