If an all-naked big-bore machine in next on your shopping list, then a bike like the 2003 MY GSF1200 Bandit should most likely be among the top choices. With 98 hp under the seat, the GSF1200 Bandit is a monstrous commuter, but a very fun bike, as its character is tuned for street-level performance and rideability. Powerful brakes and an upright position add to the whole package, offering the rider an excellent feeling of being in control and at the same time providing great long-range comfort.
Is you fancy modern looks, you should go with its S-suffixed sibling, but if showing off the steel frame, bullet-housing instruments and chunky single round headlight is your thing, there's hardly a better tool than the 2003 MY GSF1200 Bandit.
