faced with the fact that i have used my GSXR1000 the sum total of 7 times this year, due to the crap weather, im thinking is it time to sell, do i get rid of the beast and stick to the bandit…
Ron
Have faith!! It will pik up!!! dont sell it…
Sell it then buy the zx7r advertised on bike section - more real, more fun than bandit (assume it’s a 600), and cheap so if bin it no crying!
Yes sell it its a chav bike ridden by hoody hooligans…
watch the brown stuff hit the fan for that one…!!!
Ron, I dont mean to be rude but we live in the UK, it rains all the time. Get some decent wet weather gear and ride in the rain. Not only do you get a lot of riding experience but it hones your skills and ensures that when it is dry you dont bin it with the other FWB’s.
Enjoy your riding come rain or shine
Im biased as im a bandit lover…But have to agree with DRZ - Get out in the rain, its that or get a cage 
!
A bike like that needs to be ridden… think about is feeling, show it some love 
Keep it and sell the crappy Bandit.
what’s the difference if it’s one bike or another … if it’s raining it’s raining
totally agree if you have 2 bikes there’s no need to get the nice one dirty. Doesn’t make you a FWB or have poor skills if you’re riding the Bandit in the rain.
But 7 times showes total lack of commitment. It hasn’t been that wet all year!
Sell it!
its not lack of commitment but the fact that im in training to become a scuba instructor at the moment, i was looking forward to unsing to go to work but the things a complete beast when the roads are wet.
By this time last year i was using it every day…where as the summer gone.
Now I ride a dual purpose bike (Africa Twin) and although that’s great even that’s no good for scuba diving…
