1997 Suzuki Bandit 1200s w/ ABS
You can get over 40mpg and enjoy high performance.
I have owned this motorcycle for about 2 years and it runs flawlessly. It is not a show winner by any means as it had been dropped on both sides by the previous owner(s). There is some cosmetic damage - scratched fairings etc. but the engine and all mechanics run great.
The motor is 1,200cc inline 4 cylinder that makes a claimed 116hp and is an absolute torque powerhouse with a bullet-proof reputation (motor is a large bore version of the 1st generation GSXR-1000). Air/Oil cooled = simple and reliable.
Corbin Seat
Bike has a full new Barnett clutch pack and springs, New DID gold chain and sprockets, New rear tire, New rear brake pads, Rebuilt front forks and seals, rebuilt master brake cylinder. I just did a Valve check/adjustment and Oil change.
The odometer reads 17,000 miles, but I do not think this is accurate as none of the gauges worked when I acquired the bike (they all do now). I bought this bike as a commuter as I was enjoying a 90mile round trip commute. Now I commute 12 miles round trip, so I ride my new Ducati. My plan was to slowly refinish the Bandit, but now it is just taking up room. Like I said, the mechanics are in great shape, but the body could use a little TLC. The frame is straight and the bike tracks and runs very stable and comfortable. I have ridden this bike on a few 200+ mile trips and it is great.
I can send specific photos upon request,
I have clean title
$2,100 OBO is a steal for a Bandit like this and priced to sell in the current cosmetic condition.
I prefer a local sale as I do not think it would be worth it to ship. I will assist a buyer in shipping if they really want it.
I am happy to answer any questions,
Keith
