Hahaha! Night Bandit mate- That is seriously sweeeet! My mostest fave colors and shotguns to boot! Foggin 'el bud, that is a ride. welcome to the V-twin! Prob as diff a bike as you can get to a 750 bandit!! This is exotica... and the world will know it in a few years when parts and panels etc start to get scarcer, more bikes are broken etc. I may get more /other bikes in the near future, but won't ever sell my current Mille/ -turning to "R". Prob even if I can get a late 2003 RSVR! I aint done nevva kept a bike so long. I have had 5 years with this current Millie and it has got under my skin. Have had faster bikes, but not so involving to ride! I came from the days of Lc25o's etc and been riding I s'pose for erm... 38 years. Given that I was 9 with my first proper motoX bike, how bloody old does that make me lol!! (Yeh fek off lol) Top speed not as relevant as acceleration in prob 99% of road situ's. It just aint usable really (unless ure a suicide jockey/TTracer or track day regular). Smiles per mile an RSVR is all you're gonna need! Spesh the roads where you live/road racing heritage/Rarity of such a bike in Ireland. People gather round mine in the East, so you're gonna be a rock star lol! Get ready to be smug dude! I have reletives in Warrenpoint thro my brother, an obv sister in law. Had many visits and spent a very happy kind of honeymoon of my own with current G/F (ahem, death b4 marriage!!) touring all around the west and the North. Happy days!

Thanks mate, she looks so much better in those pictures hahaha Im soo lucky that i found one here, to be honest im still in shock i actually have it out in the garage. Ive never ever had a bike to put such a grin on my face, the miller is here to stay!!! It needs a good cleaning, so ill tip into the auto shop tomorrow. Maybe you guys could suggest some cleaning kits or are they all the same?? like i said earlier the bike has a few tiny scuffs here and there so if i ever come across some mint fairings ill deff purchase them if they are not to expensive. |

For a good deep initial clean I think sDoc100 gel cleaner is fantastic. Apply to a dry bike but because it is a gel it sticks on and dissolves the muck and grease. It will even stick to the underside of the tail while doing it's stuff. Then rinse off. They also do a liquid version which goes further for more frequent use. It is expensive mind you so maybe not for every clean but for your first one definitely worth a try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgrn166lC-8 Same company also does a protective wax specifically for the matte finish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZw16YvH064 |

yep....thats her, cant keep the two of them mate. I wish i could as its a great bike and very rare. Ive often been on outing with my mates who would have very expensive streetfighters and the bandit 750 would be the one getting the attention hahaha amazing really,but i genuinely cant afford to keep them both. cheers

Nice bike mate, been going over to Waterford / Tramore for 24 years to visit the inlaws and never seen a RSV over there, you mentioned Molls gap, i did that run when i had my fireblade a few years ago, cracking run if you can dodge the tourist coaches..

Waterford is my home city I used to work just outside tramore back in the day I still get into trouble when I'm on the fenor road looking for fast lines through some of the flowing bends. I was often late for work after ripping the road up and going 5 miles past my work place lol. ( just as well my boss had bikes he would often hear me coming and knew I wasn't going to slow down lol |
