Suzuki Bandit GSF600 Reviews

The Bandit 650S is a motorcycle, plain and simple. Mine is a 2005 with carbs, bought used with 15,000 kms on it. It's one of several models I'd have bought, but there it was, at the right price. There's nothing special about it but, like most bikes, it's quicker and faster than the rules allow, anyway. The fairing is barely adequate on the highway ...  Read the complete review

i have a 98 gsf600 bandit, got it out for spring and it's running like shit. Went through the carb 3 or 4 times now and thats not it, the bike is like brand new to begin with, only 4600 miles. I've tried everything tested the coils, new plugs, carbs, etc. I want to try a new cdi box. Anybody know how to test the cdi box? The manual shows a tool but i cant find it anywhere. It breaks up pretty bad under sudden acceleration and gets all the revs when it comes out of it. you can be going 80 or 100 full throttle fine then back off then hammer into it again and it breaks up. Please email me if you can help. motocross_stud47@hotmail.com

I have been riding my dad's Suzuki GSF600 Bandit on an 02 plate for the previous 6 months after being knocked off my Suzuki TL1000R. I found this bike to be far more than i expected it to be for a naked 600. The gearbox is very smooth indeed and although the power wasn't instant once up to 7000 revs it pulled very well indeed up to ...  Read the complete review

Im Back I gave you a revue on the GS500F That I had last Year Well I have now gone for a 650 Bandit for 2006/7. What a bike I needed a two seater so had a good look around and there was not much about that was good for me and the wife so we ended back in the Suzuki shop and the Bandit 650 with the fairing was the ideal choice. The engine well I ...  Read the complete review

Now I have read most of these reviews on here and I can agree with some things and disagree on others... Now let me say first off... This Bike is a great bike with great handling.. Now in most of these review's y'all said that handling at 130+ Just doesnt cut it. Now I do own a 2002 but it has great handling and very good suspension. The ...  Read the complete review

When I first climbed aboard this beast my heart was pumping ten to the dozen. I had just got my license and had borrowed it for the weekend to decide whether or not to buy it off a co-worker. It was a "P" reg GSF600N. The problem I faced was that the ride back was a good home was a good 50miles during rush hour. Now to my ...  Read the complete review

Listen folks, I going to tell you the truth, the Bandit600 is the best bike out there for the money and size. As a 37-year-old man I don't need to be able to do 185 mph anywhere that I go. This bike has all of the features that anyone would need. The only difference between this bike and the Bandit1200 is the bhp, which is much ...  Read the complete review

I returned to motorcycling after 10 years and decided I wanted an all rounder without a fancy fairing. I looked up all the prices,performances,toured the dealers and decided that at just over £3600 the GSX Bandit had style pedigree and performance that matched my criterior. Well 1,000miles and a month later, Im still exploring the bikes ...  Read the complete review

I owned a 2001 600S (faired) Bandit until recently - on the whole, the Bandit's a reasonably friendly and easy-to-use retro that'll probably suit a fairly experienced rider who's not really bothered about keeping up with the sportsbike pack. The Bandit is a good looking machine, and performs reasonably well on the open road, ...  Read the complete review

This is my first bike. I quite like this bike. I find it comfortable and easy to ride. I think it looks good. It didn't break the bank. So what's the problem? The finish. This bike was obviously manufacture from New Improved "Rust-Kwik" Metals. It's only got 8,500 on the clock and the rust is begining to show ...  Read the complete review

Right then, before I start, I’ll make it clear that this is not my bike, although I do have a bike licence and I haven’t actually ridden it as my legs are too short! It is however my hubby’s bike and I have picked his brains etc. So combine this with the fact that I can actually ride (legally!) and hopefully my op should be ...  Read the complete review

Top fun, top tool, top bike... I've owned a bandit 600 for 3 years now. What a great bike! And I'll tell you why... I bought it from new. In black. Totally naked, no half-fairing. O.K., so it keeps off a bit of wind,so what? Why spoil those fantastic lines? Beats me. It looks the business standing still, never mind when cruising ...  Read the complete review

...though I've no doubt that the bandit can also be completely reckless if the rider wants it to be. It's got all I want in a bike. As a relatively late starter, the last thing I wanted was a bike I'd have to lie flat on the tank to ride. The 600 Bandit has a comfortable upright-ish riding position, all the speed I need (who ...  Read the complete review
