The review underrates it . Ive owned loads of bikes , blades , zzrs . I was stunned how good this bike is . Its fast through corners handles well comfy , and easy to maintain . The engine is a peach . Its a nice looking bike that still gets respect. There was a time when a 600 was a big bike and it will do 120 jeez how much faster do you want to go.?
Mine is a 1999 600 which looks like a 2017 version (i converted it) but does 140ish.. is it modified?🤔
Couldn't agree more. Still have my 98 Bandit, the only bike i haven't sold. A keeper. It just does everything well👍🏻👌🏻
@@mikemcs4431 I just bought a 1998 Suzuki Bandit with 78.000km in perfect condition. Love it.
Bought mine 2 years ago, I'm the second owner, a '95 Bandit with 74.500 kms on the clock.
Previous owner did an average 3.000kms a year.
Now she's going for her first 100.000 kms and she's running great, nimble, fast and really cheap - I only paid 700€ for the bike!
Still looks good, if you saw one on the street you wouldn't say it's 25 years old
Agree.that round headlamp speedometer and tacho are really eye-catching
I have one, and it is from 1998.
It is now 2024. So it is 26 years old.
Ridden some modern bikes. No thanks, keeping my Bandit. 😉
You're making me want one! 😂
Mines 20 years old now 45,000 on the clock still good fun around town and b roads
I just bought the 98 model. 28k miles. Brilliant bikes.
@Jimmy Doran not bad for a parts bin special are they ,I've still got it they are starting to get classic status ,never thought of that when I brought it as a 800 pound run about 6 years ago
Mines on 64k and still going strong
1998 on 7k miles love it
I like the Bandit 600s I think it has a good engine sound very comfortable and has a tight new feel,and is great fun to ride and is fast
and easy rev ablility that makes it feel very sporty, with a nice easy gearbox and light handling and incredible reliability
650 GSF BANDIT, NOT EVEN A BANDIT S, WOW, THE ACCELERATION!!! SUCH A JOY.
Love these reviews !!
I cant wait till this model bandit comes out
I bought a new 600S naked version in 2000 in that glorious metallic candy red. My first personal big bike. I was a police biker at the time. I rode it from the west of Ireland to London and back once. Bought it because I loved the way it sounded and the retro looks. Saddle is very uncomfortable on long journeys though.
Inflatable bike saddles work very well for notchy saddles .
saddles can be changed
The reason the bike looks so new and the info is out of date is that this clip is from around 1999. Shot at Salford Quays/Trafford Wharf, Manchester - tower cranes in the background are building The Lowry theatre and galleries which opened in October 2000. No BBC Media City etc - 20th Century!
I just rebuilt her carbs. Runs like a beau.
Great bikes, had 2 600s and a 650 bandit 👌🏻
25 years later, the bandit doesn’t skip a beat and only cost me £500
Anyone know what the background music is??
Honest review: "buy a bandit." the end.
Debating on getting kicked out of the house and snagging one of these
Hahaha do it 😜
I had an 'r' reg, 97 model with fairing. Basically is was a great bike. Would I buy another now, 20 years later. Yup, sure would.
Unlike the opposition this bike has a built in drum kit and a steel guitar .
Cant imagine what the 1200 version is like the 600 dose 0'60 around 4 seconds insanely quick
The 12 isnt actually all that much faster, just alot more torque, lots and lots of it if I'm honest. Friend of mine had one and had it bored to I think 1380cc. It was pretty brutal after that i must say
i had a 1200 it was a beast
My mom has one of these in my back yard with custom panels on it and only 20k kilometers
nice 0:57 .. the oil leek included in the NEW BIKE !! ? ..
Baught one here in Florida for $300 gsf600s its street fighters out only got a throttle and brakes. No mirrors turn signals and it's bad ass I love how it handles. Burns oil tho
ive got the chance of a bandit 12k on clock gonna snap it up
Is this really a 1998?
Why do we need muscle power like mike tyson. Is it to accelerate the bike. Is the accelerator cord too hard ?
Ur up high and the wind with out the front screen bubble is bad
How much cost the bike now
Bought a 1995 Bandit for 800€ this month. Had to clean the carburator and put new tires on, but everything else works beautifuly
Anybody knows the price range in USA?
I got mine for $1000. Expect to see them for $1000-2000
I just bought a 1997 Bandit 600S with 20K miles in good condition for $1000 USD
👍
Sold a Harley dynaglide .
Bought a 600 bandit brand new out the box 97.
Had bikes for 20 odd years
Ended up.not using the bike for a couple of months..work commitments.
2000 miles on the clock.
It wouldn't start.
Had to take the head off
Cut the valves in .some
Reason they had oxadised .
It was kept in a garage .
The Harley & a 77 Bonneville. Had been in the same garage for 3 years.
No problem starting them.
Never really worked it out.
Wouldn't buy another suzuki..
This guy has no clue what he's talking about, Bandit GSF 600 has a GSXF 600 engine, NOT RF600R engine.
Yep you're right. Beside that, it got front suspension, brake calipers, wheels, part of rear brake light, all from RF600. He made a shortcut lol ;)
RF is the same as a gsxf and a gsx and a gsf just different bores and different cams. Some rocker covers fit on most others but there is some slight variations along the seal line so some years are compatable and others not!.
The gsf was made completely out of parts off of other machines all ready on the market ! The only thing not recycled was the petrol tanks! And slight body work and frame design! Tho the engine mounts and shock mounts are all standard Suzuki layout n sizes !.
garrett 4130 The rf is liquid cooled
Jay B the RF engine was made based around the bottomend of a gsx engine.
moto de varones
Huge puddle of fluid at :58
my 650 does 149 mph
front frame rails rust out.
Usually on outside bikes, great bikes tho
I've never liked round headlights.
Bring back Suzuki headlamps with flat bottoms .
The rf600 is a water cooled engine . Not the same as a bandit engine
my 2002 bandit makes 90 Hp on the dyno and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds
Cutler Cycles The power of bandits in geral was hidden, this guys dont know what a bandit is, one of the fastest naked 600cc.
Grabir01 - Harleys are simply overpriced fashion statements with maximum (and unnecessary) noise and cubic capacity and minimal performance to boot and usually ridden my middle aged angry men who can't smile or nod at you like most other bikers do.
baji san
Oi Men&Motors... 1080p is a thing yanno
+SnickleFritz Nevermind, the video was actually made in 1998. Mahhh Bad
sailentxx
haha yep
sailentxx
I thought it was maybe a blast from the past type video not an actual review in 1998 aha
half fairing are so ugly
"he... Or she" so this equality shit started even back in 1998? Nothing wrong with equality, don't get me wrong, but having to articulate everything specifically for women is just nuts...
Even for me to say I don't have anything against equality is essential, otherwise I'd lose my job.
Looks stupid... Would rather have a 50 year old Harley than this new Bandit.
+grabir01 This design is over twenty years old. And some people prefer standard bikes over cruisers. It is nice that bikes come in so many shapes and sizes, it gives us options.
I guess so.. If you are over 5'4, these bandits really cramp you... This guy looks to be 5'5 and he looked cramped riding this bike. For a Grocery getter, I guess that is ok...
+grabir01 He's definitely more than 5"4. I would go so far as saying around 5"10 but yeah he does look somewhat cramped, especially in the ariel shots.
Prior to 1984, what you say about Harleys was true... But once Harley in 1984 aligned with Porsche to design and build the Evo Motors, that all changed big time.. You really need to get cracking there Snickle.
Ahhh but you said 50 y/o Harley haha. Still though even with Porsche on thier side, I don't think they'll ever out class the Japenese reliability. I have a '76 Suzuki gt500 that my granddad bought brand new and it has never once, like literally never, broke down and it has been rode every day of it's life.
