Suzuki GSF Bandit 600cc Apr '99 (T)
Overall Rating:
Review
The baby bandit is an exllent post learner tool or experienced riders commuter, this weighty though well balanced machine benefits from a few minor upgrades thankfully as these machines are so popular second hand parts aren't hard to find, a sports exhaust is a must allied with a free flow air filter such as K+N, a gain of 10mph is possible with good kit! Also handling is improved by lowering the forks through the yokes by 5 to 10mm and of course new thicker fork oil does wonders! Braided brake hoses are a must and original Suzuki pads improve perfomance

Suzuki RV 125cc Apr '05 (05)

Review
The Suzuki RV125 or Van Van for its more popular name is a fun little 125 ideal for the older learner.
The bike itself gives the impression of having a much larger engine than it actually has and the only big give away that it is a 125 is usually the learner plates attached to it!
Being quite tall I was looking for a suitable bike to learn on and didn't fancy having to ride around on a small bike such as a Honda CBR which seems to use pram wheels instead of actual bike tires.
I was then shown a Van Van by my local dealer and was instantly impressed with the size of the bike.
It has a proud stature and easily stands out in a crowd. Mostly helped out by the fact that my own has a bright orange tank.
In terms of its technical ability, it will go. Just don't expect to get anywhere fast.
Due to it's larger form factor the 125 will struggle occasionally, making you have to play the gears alot more than usual. That said though, if you are only going to be using this for the daily commute then it is perfect as it has excellent fuel economy and is responsive at low speeds.
The brakes are adequate but you will find a combination of both front and back brakes to stop is pretty much always needed.
Overall it is a fun bike to learn on and will continue to serve as an excellent commute bike even when you have a full license.

Suzuki RM 125cc 88/89 (F)

Review
The old school of off-road bikes...this 2 stroke will go anyway you want and more. The old RM 125 will keep up with all the rich boys with their new ‘08 bike and all gear, but no idea.
The pre mix oil needs to be a little richer due to the old engines, but look after it and the bike will look after you. The only problems that I have had is there is a rubber gasket which splits very easy which is located between air box and carb i.e...To much air in carb...no start! But apart from that its great at racing [club class] and great out with mates.
Plastics for this bike are hard to find but Gordon Farley’s @ ash, are great. Most parts are available through this company as well as uk.bike.com. Which has helped me many times in the past.
Well overall great bike, good shocks, ideal response from throttle, great swing arm, drums on front and rear, have to sometimes take a step back and pray you stop...great bike for enduro racing.
Don’t go out and spend thousands when you can get 1 great RM for less than 400 pounds
Try it!!!!You will have a smile from ear to ear and that’s a promise.
This bike is only for off road use!! Not for public highway!

a nice strong bike, flys through the air on jumps fine, although a bit bouncy on the landing side of things, bags of torque in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear no lack in power what so ever. a good bike to start in the 125cc class on

Called FL125 Address

A fantastic bike and real surprise to me. I bought it only for practical reasons and it brings a huge grin to my face every time I ride it.

Economy: I have done 500 miles so far and am still running it in, but am getting 142 MPG right now. Amazing!! 500 miles does not seem much, but on a bike like this, nearly every journey is less than 5 miles - so it adds up to a lot of journeys.

Honda have ruled the roost for this type of machine and Suzuki are really trying hard with this bike. There are lots of little things that make you feel good: the well designed double helmet lock, the reasonable under seat storage, the little engine guard, the attractive looks and very well matched top box, the comfortable seat (for pillions too), the way you can go straight from 4th gear to neutral, the gear indicator, the key mechanism.

I guess there are other things too, but it leaves you feeling that Suzuki have tried really hard, and then it is £300 cheaper than the Honda.

The engine is tuned for economy, and so don't expect a high performing one. It is very good through the revs.

The gearbox is opposite from a bike one, so watch out!

The leg protection is o.k.

There is a lot of chrome. I think ACF50 is the best protector. If it protects aircraft, then it should do well for a bike and it really does for this one.

I know the chain guard is not cool - but it really saves work, especially when riding in winter.

This bike is so easy to slice through traffic jams. Manouvers easily.

The Bandit which I recently bought, is exceptionally quick, and a comfortable ride all round.It does need a fair bit of time to warm up in these winter months though, as it is prone to kicking out when opened up, if not warmed up properly-Can take at least 10 mins!!!
