| Many people wonder why Suzuki took so long to
make the Bandit 600. The formula had been there for years. The
400 Bandit was an official import in 1992 and most agreed that
it would be brilliant if it only had a larger engine to match
the curvaceous chassis. It seemed that only the success of the
Yamaha Diversion stirred Suzuki into action and the rest as they
say is history. Where the Diversion seemed to stutter along in
sales the Bandit 600 went from strength to strength. |
| The engine that didn't get good reviews in the
GSX600F and was criticized for being slow had come of age in the
Bandit and was suddenly known as a screamer! It had been
slightly retuned for more mid range power, which meant slightly
less at the top end, but you'd hardly notice. The 600 revs
cleanly and a slick gearbox ensures smooth delivery. Crazy
cornering is not hard to do and like all Bandits, is its
hallmark. |
| Restyled for the Millennium the Bandit oozed
improvement. Sharper handling, better braking and more
responsive suspension. The uprated front fork internals have all
but eliminated the wandering over road repairs and white
lining. You can spend your money on the Bandit and know you'll
have some great times on it and if you come to sell it you'll
get a very good price. Not many bikes can boast that. You can go
touring or commute, the Bandit will do it all. |
| There's only one bike when it comes to paint,
shiny bits and bolt on extra's. Get a group of Bandits together
and it's very hard to find two the same. You name it and you can
get it. The Bandit is pure art and lets your imagination run
riot. Value for money? There's no other bike like it. |
