== Overview ==

Suzuki GSF 1200S Bandit





















First launched in 1996, the 1200S Bandit was the
half-faired version of Suzuki's 1200cc naked retro machine. Aimed at
replicating the sales success of the popular GSF600S Bandit, the big Bandit
looked very similar to its smaller-capacity sibling.

Following the tried
pathway of using parts from existing models to save development costs, the
1200 Bandit used a version of the long-running GSX-R1100 engine, in a simple
steel-tube frame. Running gear and ancillaries were borrowed from other
machines in Suzuki's lineup, and the 1200 Bandit was an instant success,
helped by its competitive price and all-round usability.

The half-fairing
offered the usual benefits of wind- and weather-protection, also raising the
ultimate top speed.
