Yup, watercooled is the only (in most cases) way to meet the tight noise regs.
Having said that, the Bandit 12 uses basically the same engine, and I've not heard that it's being dropped.
The Bandit 1200 and the 650 arte for the chop next year, emissions AFAIK.

The 600/650's been on the edge of oblivion for ages, that's no shock. But I'd miss the 1200

Its going as Suzuki have decided its not in their best interests to make it meet the Euro 3 Noise and Emissions regulations. Which I guess it means that its to expensive for them to do so. Bandit 12 is staying for possibly another year.

*according to TWO magazine

For a big naked bike I quite like them, they always look imposing when parked up and they sure sound nice with a set of after market cans on them.

Yeah I read that in TWO, as well. They were surmising that Suzuki will use injection on the 12

I must admit I really enjoyed blatting around on Elmerfud's old Bandito
