Here's my latest find . Finally got the ambition to sell my 2009 HD Road King Classic ,so this is it's replacement . Love this bike ! , handling and the speed the HD didn't have and it looks pretty good for a standard UJM .
Made a couple of minor changes to help out with the ergo's but overall it fits me very well . Gonna leave it pretty much stock other than a Dale Walker ( Holeshot ) muffler and tuning module . Now I have to go take some pictures of my 1986 BMW K100 that I'm going to make over into a street fighter stlye bike . I'm collecting parts now and hopefully it will make a great winter project . Although I could redo about a dozen old Hondas for the cost of the BMW parts . This might not be my brighest idea as if any of them are . |

What a cool bike! That Bandit was always praised as a very very good all around bike. I'm considering buying a bike for similar duty myself. Great bulletproof bike. Too bad they didn't put shaft drive on that sucker!
I'm familiar with the BMW K100 / leg warmer. I went to a few BMW rallies with my dad when I was a kid ![]() |

Thanks , I've had 6 -1000 to 1150 Suzuki's over the years and they were great ,fun bikes . THEN , I sold my 1984 GS1150 ES, I actually owned it twice ) and went a year or so without a bike . So my answer to being bikeless was to buy a new 2004 Sportster and proceed to spend a bunch of money to make it go fast and handle . When I bought my new 2009 Road King Classic my son got the Sportster , he still has it , and I continued my slide into darkness . Took me about 6 months to decide I really didn't like the RKC . Took me 3 years before I finally said this things got to go . Put the RKC on Craig's List and about 3 weeks later someone came buy and said it's their dream bike . Slightly haggled about the price and now someone else has the dream !
I was looking for a BMW R1150 R when I ran across the Suzuki and after looking it over , slightly haggled about the price and took it home . The previous owner bought the bike new , rode it for several years and health problems kept him off it the last two years . It really is a very nice ,well cared for bike and about half the price of a late model BMW R1150 R . |
