Change of look for the Bandit. Is the SV650N the only surviving round headlight model Suzuki have?

Hmmm- does seem to be the way Suzuki are taking their designs on. The tank design seems to take from the, very short on personality, Honda CB style. The headlight, to be honest, is very similar to what's been on other naked bikes for a few years- Kwaks etc.

I wonder what they'll do with the faired models.

Looks like it's trying to copy (and failing) the naked fazer styling to me.

This stupid flavoured headlight malarky disgusts me.

parts sharing = cheaper bikes

Puts the bland in Blandit ;)

I'm surprised it has taken so long, really. The classic spotlight must be seen as a little past it now, and the GSR600 with its new-style light has been around for a few years.

I don't like it, it's not ugly, it's just devoid of any inspiring quality.

The "retro" spot light will make a glorious comeback soon enough. It's probably already planned.

the only other light unit which is as good as the the single is triumphs mini twin set up ought else just looks bob imho.
