The new Suzuki GSF650 Bandit should continue the success story of
the little Bandit. The improvements have made the new Suzuki GSF650 Bandit much
more refined, easier to ride than ever and should appeal to a mass audience.
The Suzuki GSF650 Bandit's engine is all new, out with the
carbs and in with the all-new fuel injection, and about time, it’s also now
water-cooled. Peak power is up and there is great amount of torque. But it’s not
all about power, the Suzuki GSF650 Bandit's engine is much smoother especially
when cold.
All new frame, which according to Suzuki is now 10% stiffer
with larger diameter frame tubes. Suspension has been played around with on the
Suzuki GSF650 Bandit, giving stiffer rear shock but slightly softer front end.
The swingarm has also increased in length. OK, it’s not on par with a sports
bike but the Suzuki GSF650 Bandit is more than enough for 99% of riders, very
forgiving.
For under £4500 you’re pretty much going to get what it says
on the tin with the Suzuki GSF650 Bandit. But you still get a digital clock,
adjustable seat height and bars. Front and back suspension is adjustable for
pre-load and if you go for the slightly more expensive S model Suzuki GSF650
Bandit you get ABS.
