I like it, it looks like the kind of thing you'd find on the back of Performance Bikes in 1990.
I wouldn't own one because it would be hellish to ride for me now, but it's a nice poster bike.

I always thought the Bandit had the making of a good Cafe Racer, it's a nice frame. The 1200 was a nice thing to ride.

So they've made the Blandit frame twin shock, but the top shock mounts look really wrong from the rear angle.

I've got my eye on those same twin shocks for my Interceptor, but I'm not sure I want to drop that sort of money on them.
