This is just so wrong and just so American (it has to be said). What has that poor inoffensive Bandit ever done to be treated like that? I'm no great fan of them, but it deserves better than that.

Oh I don't know....

Bandits seem to be the donor bike of choice for poor taste 'customisers' I guess it's coz they're cheap and plentiful and the 1200s have fantastic engines.

I have seen worse...... just.

I dunno, look past the garish paintjob (which someone took a lot of time doing) it's quite well engineered.

I dont like paintjob, the choice of bike, the colour of the frame, the colour of the end can or the clutch cover, but other than that, it's ok.

The Ducati rearend seems to make an appearance on many streetfighters

I see a lot of custom bikes at rallies, with a lot of custom paint jobs - and I often wonder why people put so much time and skill into making bikes look hideous!

Look, I can do this... and this... and this.... in all these colours.... and all on one bike too!

I reckon this one is pretty good tho.....
