Just acquired this today...2007 1250S... factory hard bags..Pirelli Angel GT tires..VStream windscreen..slipon exhaust(not sure what it is) 15k miles...
Nice looking bike, but then I am a little biased. Like achesley, I also have an '07 Sonoma red Bandit. It has proven to be an enjoyable and reliable ride. Looks like your bike has the factory seat. Many of us have upgraded to an aftermarket seat as the factory seat leaves a lot the be desired.
Congrats on the purchase and I hope that you grow to appreciate your new ride as many of us on this forum have.
Thankyou..please elaborate further on seats...also i have to turn the footpegs to get more space between the seat and footpegs..my knees do not like tto be flexed passed 90* and they are now..if that doesnt work i will have to find some kind of footpeg extension..if that dont work them i'm gonna have to sell it and find something more comfortable..I'm 65 and had a wreck on my bike 6 months ago..I injured my right knee and its still cant be flexed beyond 90*..I barely could ride this 15 mins before i had to stop and get off..today I am gonna do the footpeg thing and readjust brake and shifter too.Hope that helps..
Two other details i dont like...1) the oem front turn signals were replaced with flush mounted ones..Stupid..from oncoming traffic's POVyou cant see them..got some oem type on stalks off ebay for 20 bucks..
and 2) the oem tail light assy was swapped out for one with a clear lens and a fricken orange/amber bulb!!! STUPID..so I bought an OEM assy off eebay also for 20 bucks.....
Other issues..I need hiway pegs..and I need more upfront and rear lighting for visibility..I need bar risers...and maybe the seat too...Oh and FWIW the seat was already in the raised position by the PO...And finally (for now..lol) I need a real horn ..like a Stebel 139db airhorn..stock horn is wimpy...
