I know the Bandit has cheap parts, but its been the bike people love to modify and to personalize, i think they finally sorted out the half fairing and think its a cracking little bike...I hope you enjoy riding it!

Just make sure you change that rear shock as soon as possible!!!!

Good choice of commuter there!
I'll have to warn the Gravesend massive that there's now one less SV in the ranks

Really like the look of that. With full lowers of a bellypan, it would just finish it off nicely.

So much nicer than the k1-k4 bandits. I think they done a great job on it.

Just kidding, if it's the right bike for you then it's the right choice. ABS model too I see, nice add-on for the commuter. All it needs now, is a GSXR750 engine

Excellent choice for commuting mate. Reliable, and comfy if a little heavy. But a bargain price and will last forever (at least the engine will).

I very nearly went for a Bandit when I bought my SV (you know, that one I wrote after a few weeks

) That's a good deal too, especially with the hard luggage. My Mrs wants me to get a bike with a topbox that can be used as a back rest, and for commuting, the box will come in handy.

Welcome to the dark side... Just whip that exhaust off and replace it with a race can - Bandits sound pretty good with a decent can. Hope you enjoy it, and it really is a comfortable bike for commuting.

Good bike for what you need it for, but considering what you need it for, why did you buy new?!

I feel a certain mod may delete this.That topbox-----!
Ho Ho.

Hey Daimo...if you don't want ya bandit then I'll swap me bike for it

For commuting then it is an excellent choice...just watch the Suzuki world famous build quality...should work like a swiss watch like.
