After much deliberation, I finally placed my 00 12sBandit on Craigslist and after culling through several silly inquiries, I got one that was genuinely interested and decided to come and take a look. The bike has some touring miles on it, but is otherwise a flawless example of Japanese motorcycle ingenuity. The bike heats up the twisties with a growling holeshot exhaust that sounds ominous when you are following. There was little wear on anything and I made it a point to keep the bikes condition stellar both physically and internally. The sole reason I decided to sell was since I bought my 07 1250s, i have not been riding my 00 and it seemed a crime. It was time to let it go.

So, here comes James from San Francisco, by bus to pick up his new bike, sight unseen. I guess, if he had hated it, he would have taking the train home, but that was not the case. It was love at first sight, although he would have preferred RED the “fastest color”, all else met his requirements. It was a very painless sale and Bandito or in his case Bandita, has a new home. Cheers to you, Jim and happy safe riding!!
