I'd have to say no. The Bandit is a very good all-rounder, but for my riding, and if I were keeping in the same budget area, I'd go either a DL1000 or(really!!!) a Concours. I'm doing much more 2 up than I thought I would, and have found some gravel and dirt roads down here that make the Bandit very skittish.

The good news is my budget doesn't care what I buy so I'm in the market again, all makes and models to be considered. Right now I like the FJR but I'm going to wait to see everyone's 07 models.
