  • This bike does it all.
    By  (I am an Owner) on May 30, 2011

    I have owned everything from cruisers,sportsbikes,tourers etc.

    The Bandit is the best bike I have owned. It will fly through the mountain roads, cruise all day in comfort, and has all the power and torque you could ever want. The most comfortable bike too. And best of all is the price!!!

    Got my '09 Bandit with 1 mile Saturday morning and drove it from WV in the rain back to Lanham Md. Dispite the heavy rain and heavier wind it handled like a grown up bike should.

    My 1998 1200 Bandit was a great ride. I always said there were a few changes it needed. One was to fuel inject the engine and the other was a sixth gear. My 2009 Bandit 1250s is that, and much, much more. What an awesome bike. Ride on Suzuki!

  • great all around
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 25, 2010

    The Bandit is easy to ride and very smooth. The engine is nice and quiet for long trips and it handles well on the highway and in the city. The fairing and windscreen are good at keeping the wind and cold off the rider. The engine has tons of torque and pulls smoothly with a small twist of the throttle. ...
