Talking Got the Bandit 1200 S

Finally got a Bandit after 2 mo. of looking

Green 2003 Bandit 1200S

Showroom Condition with 4,000 miles Yipee !!!

Just got home from my first ride with it. Nice bike. Very smooth with a nice predictable power curve.

Still telling my wife that it's Rowdy's fault...don't think she believes me but, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I think I'll go get a matching set of shorts and flip flop's to go eith the new bike !!

Awesome! We don't have nearly enough Banditos around here.

I dont know where to ask, so i hope here will be ok. Does anybody knows if there will be soon new bandit on the market? I wonder how it will look like, and when suzuki will put him on the market. I am owner of Bandit 1200 naked, 2001. I would buy a new one, but not 2006 model, couse i am looking for more than just cosmetics improvements. I would buy a new generation of bandit, couse i am so satisfied with this one, that i cant imagine, how i will be with the new one. I hope suzuki will not let us down. So if anybody knows something about this please let me know. Are there any pics somewhere?

The Bandit's going away in favor of liquid cooling and fuel injection in the new GSR and SV series.

I guess I better keep mine, then! Just got some Givi E41's installed, too. If I can just figure out how to get off the bike without kicking them everytime...
