Still looking for a bike - just in the shopping mode. As I posted once a while ago, I'm returning to motorcycling after a 20+ year hiatus. Found a local deal on a Suzuki Bandit - its a 1200 cc.
Would the collective minds here consider it to be too much bike for a middle aged returner? Only thing I have ridden in recent years is dirt bikes.
I don't want anything too twitchey - I am more of a laid back rider but lately cruisers have been leaving me cold. The standard position feels better to me anyway.
Thanks.

 

i think it's a good choice , the bandit has a lot off power in the low range , i could tel more about the bandit , but i my english is not so very good , i 'm from belgium

 

Hey - Thanks. I know the control is in my hands as the rider but I haven't been on a bike that big in many years. Don't want anything that would be "unforgiving", if that makes sense.
I like the Bandits upright position, its looks and the low end power would be ideal for cruising around on the twisty roads here.

 

don't worry i am a girl 1.68 m and 60kg and i have had a yamaha fazer 1000, tha bandit is not so agressiveas the fazer ,even if its 20 yaers ago , stil the feeling of riding wil be back soon , and indied the position is relaxed on a bandit , go for it

 

Suzuki Bandit is a good choice... good bike buddy.....
