I'm like'n this Bandit as well.

When Suzuki upgraded the Bandit to the 1250 model, they stopped at the the exterior. With some simple bolt-on fairings it looks modern now.

I would ride it, but personally I don't really "feel" it.

i'd rock it!

[cameron]

this bike should have the rightfull name it deserves KATANA

[mothmonty]

something just doesn't look right to me on the new bandit, maybe it doesn't look 'big' enough or the design is to 'sharp', not sure what it is.

[cameron]

ohh it looks right liquid cooled, fuel injected, suzuki sport tourer, with power that the katana 600-750 lack. i love the new gsxf1250. now lets just shave a little weight off.

[KatanaSoldier]

It looks awesome.

i'd buy it and put Kat decals on it anyway but thats just me

I'm +1 on that! make a kat1250! I'd do that to a busa too!!! GSX's all

I don't mind that at all but don't like the colour. I'd personally like it in white with some silver and red highlights. Also fit an aftermarket can such as a carbon Yoshimura

What's the story with wanting a 180 rear? I find the steering great as it is (I use a Michelin Pilot Power front and Michelin Pilot Road2 rear) and wouldn't want to mess around with it by fitting a much wider tyre. Fitting that combination made the steering quicker and lighter.

or if you cant wait, or if they dont ship the bike to the states- go buy a bandit 1250 and the 650F's Plastics - they will bolt right on....
Damn you suzuki- you stole my idea....

Now THAT's engineering!

hope they offer luggage as options

[BigFish]

Won't be long yahoos here (you know who you are) will be decrying it: "Waaaa. That ain't a Kat. Waaaa."

It's not a Kat. Actually, I question whether it's even Suzuki designed. It looks like a BMW and YZF1000 got drunk....9 months later out popped the Bandit 1250f.

You bunch of babies.

2) You say that as if it's a bad thing? Babies are cute.

I would venture to say that the luggage would no different than what their using now, which I believe is Givi stuff.

Something like this?
Don't mind this colour scheme either
