Given the choice of these 3 or a Blackbird for a ride to a European race circuit It has to be the Blackbird, they already have the right bike for the job.
Johnny Knoxville Fella, both bikes are heavy, yours is 5 speed and 1157cc, mine is 6 speed and 1550cc, 150 at the back wheel with 113 ft/lb, so moving a small amount of extra weight is not an issue, I have always liked the GSF1200n but please remember bigger is better ! plus I have an SV1000n for when I want something light and agile. enjoy your bandit, they are cool bikes.
They obviously haven't travelled to the mainland on a naked before. I'm with TheTopGhia on this one. Doing a lot of miles on windy roads will rip their arms off. The wife will need something firmer to hold on to than the hubby.
Where the hell is Richard Hammond? His fantastic used bike reviews (as well as his commentary) were one of the big reasons I got hooked on to the show. Paul is informative but he puts me to sleep. Is Richard not there for any of the remaining episodes?
I'm going through all your Used Bike Heaven titles and sorting them out. You have 2 episodes titled 10/22/02. You also don't have next weeks episode on 10/29/02, but do have the next one on 11/05/02. Since this episode mentions next weeks buyer (the fellow on the 11/05/02 show), I think this episode is actually the missing 10/29/02 episode.
You don't like the Green!! You're Nuts! That's my favorite Speedie color...in fact my Speedie is Atomic Red and I'm planning to repaint her to that same Lime Green. If you plan to continue living with Pam you better pick the Speed Triple Martin🤣. The Suzuki is so BORING Martin🤣🤣
Is there or has there been a more pointless show about motorcycles?? Too much chatter not enough bikes. Swap a blackbird for a naked when you do lots of miles!!!! They need to sort their shit out, I have a gsx1400 and do a lot of miles with ease but have always since 77 had naked bikes, neck like a bull as they say. 500 miles a day with no probs, quick after a little work and still odes 40mpg, down side is it eats tyres if you play hard and the six pot brakes are a pain to keep tip top but can be swapped for 4 pots off the 750 if required.
Very valuable information for bike buyers looking for something around this vintage, thanks for posting these videos.
The GSX1400 is a monster. He obviously didn't 'floor' it. 'Boring'? Buy a bicycle Pam.
Boring? Then the gsx1400 is not for you...
Ive had a 14 for 12 years. Had an RRX Fireblade before that. He obviously didn't crack the 14 back and use the revs

i have a gsx1400 and it's comfy for 250 to 500 miles a day and in my opinion more fun than a blackbird.
+Jacque Noir I have a bandit 1200N better MPG then the GSX and it does not smell of sushi so much!
Johnny Knoxville If you are worried about MPG then perhaps you should trade your middle weight 1150 for a scooter !
Nah think I'll keep it! Does everything very well and is not a lard arse like the gsx.

Does Francesca still do reviews ?

He started Top Gear in 2002, must have left for that
I agree ..Paul is a Bore. I too liked Richard alot...he's my kind of biker and we have the same taste in bikes.

Hope U kept the Blackbird mate...
The GSX1400 looks very nice.
Yeah that X11 looks awesome. I think Speed Triple is gonna kill them when they're touring.
different color and cheaper speed triple?
GSX1400 all day long for what he wanted, but for £150 he could have whacked on a handle bar conversion and kept the Blackbird 👍
Pam...
Best answer ever 🙏❤️😂🤣🙌
That couple were AWSOME 👏🏼
The Honda X11
Utterly shit 🙏🙌
just great needs to be more like this more bike test for real world rider's
Bikes are meant for 1 ! Let her ride her own bike!
They forgot the XJR1300 (14 years later)!
Ha flip chart misery too windit Paul.
Bandit 12 xjr 1300 cb 1300 would of been better choices
They must be insane to consider swapping a Blackbird for any of these for what they use it for. Get some bar risers job done.
i wouldn,t say no to Fran...
The Hayabusa,bird can dive at up to 186 mph and it's a lot more attractive than the Suzuki abomination!.
I'd have took the Suzuki
