2000 Suzuki GSF600 Bandit (Unfaired) review from New Zealand
"One of the all time great motorcycles"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
1 spark plug needed changing (after 8 years).
General comments?
A nice all around bike, suited to around town or longer distance travel.
Plenty of sensible power in the mid range.
Very smooth - almost vibration free up to legal speed limits (and over a bit).
The fairing is very effective in keeping off cold wind and the worst of the rain. (I am 5ft 10ins)
After 8 years the bike is in as new condition.
MPG is around 60 when ridden at legal sensible speeds.
Very stable at high speed in wind.
