This is the bike that I use for my long distance touring in western Canada and the Pacific northwest regions of the USA. I bought it in the winter of 2010 as a literal basket case and restored it in time for the 2011 touring runs.

Nice bikes the Bandits.
I sold my GSX1400 last year - just not getting used as I prefer the Suzy triples in the garage.

It depends on how far you ride, the triples are great but they lack the higher speed passing power and the fuel economy is not the best. On a regular tour into British Columbia I would find my fuel bill running into a few hundred dollars.
