What's that round thing mounted under the headlight?

I think it is a led running light.

Same here.
It's in the same class as my z1000.

Good choice. I like the sleek design.

Just a quick review.

I've put about 100 miles on it so far. It has plenty of power. Much more than I was expecting. Any gear, and above 2500 rpm and it gets going in a hurry.

It handles extremely well. I haven't pushed it by any means, but from what I have experienced its not lacking in any way I can see.

The one thing that has taken some getting used to after the Firebolt is the lack of immediate downlow torque. But, it is giving up 200ccs and has twice many cylinders.

I can't get over how effortless and smooth it is. Ill let you all know more when I get the tach past 7000.

Yeah dude, going from a Buell to anything Japanese is a big difference in smoothness... Lack of vibrations and not needing to smash into each gear takes some getting used to.

This reminded me of sitting behind you and Rob at a red light. Both of you on Buells, me on a Bandit. I felt kinda out of place. Like I should have been jumping and vibrating right along with you

It's what can you expect from the re-tuned 'Blade motor. I've seen a ton of reviews that said the thing is ungodly quick for a naked bike. Too bad the insurance is out of the question for me currently. And that automatically takes it out of the running for me. For reference I pay $58 a month on the Monster through Progressive... they are quoting $390 a month!! A FUCKING MONTH!!!
