The newer Bandit 1250 has all that plus liquid cooling.

They lack the character of the older 1200s though.

That's not too awfully different from what I want the Tiller to end up like... and I've seen MUCH cooler on the streetfighters site.

This was my 'no mod' purchase. A bike I could buy, ride, and do nothing to... A few minor things here and there, like frame sliders, but otherwise this bike will just get routine maintenance, gas, and miles.

The tiller has a better looking frame. It just looks beefier.

Changed the oil last night... confirmed, full Yosh exhaust. Didn't get a chance to dig into the airbox to see if/how it's been modded, but I will tonight.
