Bandit good for tall blokes?

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Muck belched forth and ejected the following:

I'll be attempting KD on the CBR this weekend.

 

dropped at low speed once is hardly down the road a few times.

to be brutally honest I don't want to sell it to you cos its not worth
the grief when you break it.

Paging BGN ...

 

The bandit would be quite good for a tall bloke. The Z750S is quite a nice
bike and easy to ride. Certainly novice friendly but it may not be insurance
friendly.

HTH

 

Oooooooooh! That's a bite, isn't it? I never said I was going to buy
it.

 

It looks like the previous owner of my bike has a sentimental
attachment to it. He's offered to buy it from me to 'rescue it'

 

LOL

 

nope. I have a sentimental attachment to my sanity.

And you have a very nice key-ring which looks almost as good as mine.

 

I haven't had a knobbly on my back for far too long.

Not really, just BGN trying a bit too hard with his "gay innuendo"
shtick.

I watched a woman spend an age getting her biker-girl jacket on last
weekend, then saw her climb aboard a spanking new Z750. She then "sort of"
rode the bike out of the car park doing the best impression of Dudley
Moore's "Tarzan" audition I've ever seen.

One foot hopping at less than 1mph is the only way to describe it and she
did it ALL the way out of the car park. A good 50-60 yards of hopping. I was
pissing myself and wondered just *why* she'd bought a bike that was
obviously far more bike than she could handle and obviously hadn't been test
ridden before purchase.

I feared for her at first, but when I saw her ride past when she finally
made it to the main road, I was relieved. She wasn't doing any more than
15mph so she's not likely to decapitate herself during a poorly executed
overtake.

"Weekend" being the key word here...

 

Good point. Excellent point, in fact.
