Title: Bandits dropped from Suzuki Lineup in US?
Post by: geekonabike on January 29, 2006, 06:18:15 PM
Last I looked I couldn't find Bandits at suzuki.com.  I know they dropped the 600 last year :cry: , but then in Euro they brought it back as a 650  :) .  Now I can't even see the 1200 on Suzuki's website :cry: .  Too bad.

Anybody have any more news on this?

BTW, I sold my GS500E and bought the only thing I could afford new that would take me down the highway:  2005 EX250 Ninja.  Now my friend has my old fuel starvation issues.   :mad:

yep sadly (at least to me) the bandit is gone from the US lineup, there were some hints that as suzuki unvieled it's 6 cylinder concept the stratosphere, that one of their earlier concepts the B king might be going into production.

If a production version of the B king replaces the bandit and it is anything like the concept, i'll be very happy.
