Bandit good for tall blokes?

I'm 6' 4", am I too tall for a bandit? Passed my DAS and am looking for
something tame, yet cool, to run around on for a year or so. Or other
suggestions appreciated. I quite like the Z750S but might be a
unsuitable for a novice?

 

Sit on one and find out.

 

Problem is I dont know if I'd know if it was too small for me till too
late. The ER-5 that I passed my test on seemed fine to me, but
apparently I looked stupid on it (sez my biker mate).

 

I'm 6' 4", am I too tall for a bandit?

I'm 6' and I find my 600 Bandit fine, don't suppose 4" will make much
difference (oh er missus)...

 

I'm 6' 1" and rode the bindit for 2 years. It was fine.

P.

 

S'Okay.

After a few years riding you'll find you can look stupid on anything.

DAMHIKIJK.

 

Excellent. Now all I need to do is find one. Anyone selling one?

 

Depends.
How much money have you got?

Dave

 

There's a couple of Bandit 12's up for sale I think on here. I prefer
the Bandit 6 though, after having ridden both.

Cheers,

Paul.

 

I'll have to check my piggy bank and get back to you.

I would say go for the 600 as the insurance for the 1200 is a fair bit more,
tis the reason i am selling/swoping mine for a 600, asap

? Not that much.
168 Quid. 1 year NCB. 250 quid excess.

and £150 + £200 excess for a 600, but then I have no, NCB

You also have a non-standard indent marker which makes reading your
responses difficult, a non-existent email address in your headers and
no sig separator, which both mark you down. I'm not surprised you
have a hefty excess.

 

Nah - I'm 6'2" and it's fine for me.

More comfy than my Tiger was, in fact.

How much did you want for it again? I remember you asking more than
the "good" price on Parkers for it, even though it had been down the
road a few times. What's the current asking price?

following:

No.

HTH

Yours is about 800 quid overpriced IIRC.

 

No, I've done people both shorter and taller.
