Michael9 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 If there are what you have from these older bikes 96 Blade 40000 very good original condition 9 months mot 97 Bandit 12 30000 good condition but "modded" and not that good but nothing that can't be put back or changed 9 months mot Both are 1400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Would be the blade all day long for me. I've never been a fan of bandits and i also don't care for things people have had a go at modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Gotta agree with Stef. Whilst I'm fairly new to biking, it's gotta be the original blade. If a bike has been missed. It's because someone wanted more from it, bike engines are less forgiving than cars when it comes to being thrashed around. And depending what you want it for (commuting, fun, shows) you need to know how it's been treat and when it comes to bikes, mods on any bike tend to indicate it's been thrashed around Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, this is a bike that will need to do me a few years infact it might be my last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Go have a look at them and see if the weight of the bandit puts you off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
