2005 Suzuki GSF1200 Bandit review from United Kingdom
"Very rapid barge"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Water in electrics under seat, not used in rain.
Standard handle bars poor bend.
Corrosion on rear footrest hangers already.
General comments?
Very rapid when unrestricted and jetted.
Replacement bars cures the original bend.
Takes some holding on at full bore.
