Title: no more bandit :(
Post by: Church6360 on November 09, 2005, 10:23:21 AM
i'm super sad, the bandit 1200 no longer appears in the "standard" section on suzuki's website, i just noticed. i was hoping they would give it one final update (EFI...please?) before junking it, so sad.

they still sell in europe, they even have a bigger displacement version there too, (i think 1400 cc? it is listed in a section in the UK mag BIKE)
i'm mostly crying because i wanna see it updated so badly.

Hell I wanted the 600 and I waited too long now the 1200 is going.

I don't like it and I'm not happy.

yeah there are a lot of bikes they don't import here.  Mainly cause the market speaks bigger is better for the most bart here in the states.  Sucky yes.  I would have liked an sv400s to start on but then again the GS is GREAT.

Here is one bike that i ran into a couple weeks ago while cruising the internet.   It is a wicked looking little bike.

http://www.bikez.com/bike/index.php?bike=21428

249 cc DOHC In-line four with 38.88 HP with 6 speed
332 lbs dry.

Doesn't it sound fun?

I also like the SV400s.

we are so screwed in the US, stupid capitalism / consumerism society. i fi sober up enough to use the scanner i'll scan the pages out of that bike issue i picked up 3 or so weeks ago,

we are missing  out on the GSX1400 and the Bandit 650, and now the bandit 1200. and that i just from suzuki,

all the crazy brands that are non existant here, the KTM superduke (like a buell, only crazier) and countless dual sports, the honda cb1300 (like a bandit, but honda flavored) bimota, cagiva, husqvarna (also makes chainsaws...hmmm.). and over there hyosung has been around for a while. ugh.

and honda even sells a freaking CBR 125RR! how much fun does that sound like? can you say light stearing?

ok, ranting done, i'm just sad to see the bandit go from our lineup.
