WOW - thanks so much for this post. I have been reading up on some of these complaints but this post put it all together. The bandit is about $200 less MSRP IIRC and thats cool for me. It comes with ABS and so far I have not heard any show-stopper complaints. The newest bike I am looking at is smaller but the GSX-650F but I think that leans at least as much forward as my ninja does now....I dont mind the ninja lean but would like a bit more upright. The bandit might be perfect. But storage..under the seat..tie downs? - I really need to see more photos of these and ideally one up close!
