Ok motherfuckers, why didn't anyone tell me about the Bandit 1200?

Don't get me wrong, I love a well-sorted carbed bike. Trouble is, my job has me on the road a lot, often for weeks or months at a time, and carbs get gummed up pretty easily.

There is a carbed bike in my garage and an FI bike. After weeks of neglect, the FI bike always fires right up, whereas the carbed bike tends to get pissy if it isn't run at least once a week.

Still, I find myself cruising CL pretty regularly for B12s, ZRX12s, and FZ1s.
