I'm 40 & 6'2". I want something I can use as a daily for commuting to work (60 miles a day) and for fun/cruising. I've been watching Craigslist for months trying to find something for less than 4g. I found one today, but the story the people gave me sounds fishy as heck.

The bike is a 2002 600ci bandit with 600 miles. They are asking 2g for it. That's pretty cheap compared to what I've seen. They claim that they are selling it for a friend that who lost her husband and they can't locate the title. I'd share the link but I don't want to loose my chances if the title does show up


That lead me to looking at the GSX1250FA. That seems like a nice bike, but twice what I wanted to spend.

Does anyone have any experience with either and what's your thoughts on these two bikes compared to their competition?
