Excellent for those on a budget (Suzuki Bandit GSF1200)
Member Name: motorcycle2000uk
Advantages: storming engine Disadvantages: general build quality and lastability
The 1200 Bandit has one of the best engines ever made but in the Bandit it is in a chassis obviously built to a budget making for a harsh and sometimes uncomfortable ride. Don't get me wrong for the price the bike is fantastic and is one of the best looking bikes available however after a short time the the reason for its cheapness becomes obvious. The paintwork and general finish of the bike is second rate with paintwork easily chipped and worn, the seat covering doesn't last as it should and the chromework and alloy parts discolour quickly. Summing up, for the money the Bandit is a good buy but if you have more to spend then a far superior bike in nearly every way (apart from the ability to do amazing wheelies with ease) is the Yamah XJR 1200/1300 (I have owned two 1200 Bandits an XJR1200 and an XJR1300SP) Summary: |
