What a bike, fast, handles well, bulletproof engine.
A bike that can be lived with everyday for commuting through traffic with ease as well as being able to live with & lose alot of the 'power ranger' brigade.
Had many a bike over the years but keep going back to a Bandit, just such a good allrounder with bags of power.
Has to be one of the most modded bikes too, probably more mods available for the Bandit over any other bike on the market, so easy to make yours just that bt different from the next & no matter where you go be it either a nice and clean standard bike or a modified bike they still always draw people and get people asking questions.
Deffinately my 'Best Bike of the last 15 years' & of poeple I know who own them & who have previously owned them, only fond memories & good word to be said about what has been described as the 'original hooligan machine', ride one you will know ;)

My Suzuki Bandit GSF600s is a fantastic bike. It never ceases to put a smile on my face. Everytime I open her up, the engine just keeps pulling and pulling until I start to feel my face peel off. It has great torque even at low speed, and can comfortable take two up no problems. Because it was designed as a boy racer bike, spares are readily available, and usually cheap too. This is my first BIG bike and would highly recommend it to anyone not sure what bike to go for as a first.

Brought this bike new with the incentive of the 0% finance offer. Handling and power fine but build quality is poor. Engine very sweet and keeps pulling well past 100 mph. love the classic look of the bike but dislike the poor brakes (especially the rear). Gearbox is clunky and low speed handling is a problem for me.

Actually this is about the latest Bandit 1250, but the drop down box only let me choose 1200cc...
A lot of bike for the money and should be great for relative newcomers. More user friendly than most older or retro 750s, and no more intimidating.
Feels surprisingly light with a relatively low centre of gravity making up for a fairly high seat. The half fairing doesn't really do much at speed: it looks high compared to sports bikes, but it's nothing like as high as the rider's position, unless you drop down lower than your hands... No, this bike isn't a speed monster and the naked version probably makes more sense.
The engine is the best bit - it's smooth and sweet pulling cleanly, with a gently increasing urge, from about 3000 rpm. There are few vibes in the contact points. Narrow rear end and footpegs give a comfortable, if rather upright, position.
The informative, but cluttered, dash comes complete with a LCD few bars of fuel guage (not as good as the one on my 1983 kawasaki, but hey, it's a fuel guage).
Gears are a bit clunky and can drop back into neutral unless you're not careful and/or heavy footed. Clutch is slightly heavy for a hydraulic, but it's okay.
The front brake (with adjustable reach lever) is pretty well matched to the bike and stops the bike surprisingly well, though the front end needs scuba equipment.
The ABS is not great - is it ever? The rear pulses fairly slowly and bangs and crashes like nobody's business. The front is more refined and seems quicker, but as with the rear you can stop much faster if you avoid triggering the ABS, or if you do trigger it then backing off and re-applying can still stop you quicker than staying on it. I suppose it might save you from lying the bike down, but it might have you run headlong into something solid, when with practice you could have stopped. Cars benefit more from ABS because it balances 4 brakes without needing 4 pedals and 5 legs, but even so, it took a few generations before it was much good. Bikers have always had the advantage: a seperate control for each braked wheel. Learn to use that advantage and you'll easily outperform this Bandit's ABS. If the bike hadn't had ABS I'd have given the brakes an extra star...

I've got a 99 Bandit. The performance and reliability of this bike is unlike anything I've ever ridden. You can put it into a corner and it just stays planted, the back end doesn't step out either. The engine and the power delivery is so smooth. The clutch is just right, smooth gear selector and tight rear brake. If, heaven forbid, I ever drop it or write it off, I'd have another one without hesitation!!!!
