The new 2016 Bandit 1250S just got a great review in Rider.
Mickey,
I stopped by the dealer over the weekend, and they had one new Bandit on the floor. (I've been thinking about this bike off and on for years - still miss my '83 GS1100e). Great looking bike, but man, was it heavy-feeling! They also had a new black '14 CB1100 about 15 feet away, so I immediately went and sat on it to compare...the CB11 felt like a CB450 after sitting on the Bandit! Very disappointed, didn't feel at all comfortable on the Bandit. I think it's an age thing; I'm really not comfortable on heavy bikes anymore, especially in low-speed manouevers like parking, etc.
