Suzuki Bandit 650S for sale

After nearly 5 years ownership from new of my Suzuki Bandit 650S "Black" i'm looking to sell up to get a car for the work commute.

1 owner, ABS, genuine Suzuki grabrail/topbox frame + Suzuki Givi Topbox. 6 Months tax, and MOT until 31st March 2012.

I bought this bike brand new to have a reliable bike for work. Its been absolutly fantastic, started every single day and has never let me down at all!!! I WILL be gutted to get rid of it for a car that "might" not be as reliable as good old Bandito has.

Its been fully serviced every 4000 miles, rinsed off every night in with cold water in the winter (get the nasty salt off), and garage stored every night.

Its got under 37,000 miles, all by me. Its the oil cooled version. It has all the stamps and has been well maintained, as I never wanted it to let me down. Its a 2006 bike, registered in early 2007.

It has the following done:

Front mudguard extension
Rear mudguard
Tinted double screen (really good!)
Pyramid crash bungs
Genuine Suzuki top box frame with Suzuki/Givi top box
Beowulf exhaust (still have lifetime guarantee)
Clear tank side protectors (knee area)

All stuff to protect the bike from the weather and keep its long life. The bike will come with the standard exhaust, standard screen etc as well.

Bad points? I'll be honest.

The exhaust manifold/link pipe join corroded away, so we had to weld the link pipe into the manifold under the bike. The rear can is still removable.

Front wheel has paintwork flaking, usually by garages removing wheel weights

Small scuff on crank casing. The bike was dropped. I was riding down my drive in a foot of snow. Dabbed the rear brake and the bike slide under me at sub 5mph (so slowly, I had to kept dipping the clutch in first gear as idle in 1st was too fast ). Bike dropped onto snow under me and scuffed the left bung and crank cover. I was not happy, but thats what you get riding in the snow/ice

TBH, for a bike with sub 37k, its in great condition and well looked after. The engines sound and has spent most of its life cruising about for work as i've got anothe bike to have fun on. Im more about fuel economy Any bolts removed to clean brakes/wheels over winter etc have been greased before putting back in so no dreaded sticking bolts either.

Im happy to answer any questions about anything on the bikes life.

Engine/Bung damage.

That looks quite good considering you commuted on it, i know you said you looked after it and by the looks of it you must have.

I really do. I let it warm up every single morning and evening before coming home, it rarely gets revved (i've got my other toy for riding hard). The exhaust is a bit more yellow these days, and theres a little surface rust on the rear footpeg hangers, but its generally in a really good condition for a commuter bike. I give it a good polish every few months, spray the engine down in marine sealent every winter, and rinse it off of all the salt.

I'll give her a clean this weekend and get some pictures up asap before I get some offical ads on MCN/Biketrader etc.

Spotted a car I want, so got to get the ball rolling.

Bumped as i've revised the price and added new photos up

Bumping as car bought and I need to sell her now.
