Bandit XR71 Replica

A fun build...

Ear splitting muffler has been replaced with a new Vance and Hines muffler off of ebay. Wheels will be replaced with some Galespeeds I bought from Japan. Debating on whether I should paint the tank or not. Its a 1996 Bandit 1200, with Mikuni carbs. Bought it as a writeoff (cosmetic damage only) for $700 Canadian. GSXR1100 forks, custom rear subframe, Penske shock. Makes a whopping 112 HP and 88 foot pounds on the only dyno in my province. It's and "XR71" because that's when I was born...

 

WANT.

 

Nice. Don't paint the tank gives it more of a period race look.

Cheers,

Dave

 

I did lots of track riding on a Bandit 1200, so crazy, so fun! This one looks extremely bad-ass with the killah front end swap.

 

I love, and want the SuperMono Decal.

 

cool ride @riversbikes
may I ask what bike the front fairing is from?

 

Front fairing is from an 88 gsxr 750. Filled in the side air intakes because I have nothing to "intake" to...

 

Very cool oil head!
