About time too, I would buy one and keep the Kat.
Would like to see more close up pics.

Now the real question is, will they keep the price close to the MSRP of the Bandit 1250S? Which is $9299...

[loudnlow7484]

Not thrilled about the nose, but it looks like a great way to lay down some miles on the slab. I'd rock it.

[Hegmann1391]

I like it. Body styling is going in the GSXR direction, but that doesn't surprise me. I could stand to see more close up pictures as well.

[exc911ence]

Hmm, I wonder how easy a set of clip-ons would go on that bike.

Won't be long yahoos here (you know who you are) will be decrying it: "Waaaa. That ain't a Kat. Waaaa."

You bunch of babies.

[johna600]

but it's not a kat?

[CenCalKat]

I could go back to the Gap on that...think it'll tow the Gixxer, Paul??

[Slofuze]

I've already posted a while ago that it's the cruiser I want when I'm done with the "work world". I didn't care for the stock bars on this year's model, but I was impressed by the rest.......at half the price (basically) of an FJ.

[zuma]

Correct me immediately, but I read it in a rush...just available in Europe, right? I invite anyone to correct me...

Now, Mexico is part of Europe, right? I can only hope.

[allblackkat]

I think it says the ABS version is only available in Europe...


As far as the debate on whether it's a Kat or Bandit... It's a GSXF, and that is all it is...

(though the Kat is a GSXF and a Bandit is a GSX...)

[Tokalosh]

I was told once that.....

G= Four cylinder
S= Sport
X= Experimental
F= Faired

And the R in GSXR is for race.

Thank you, "All"---and I believe you are correct. Now that changes things.
