2005 Suzuki GSF 650S BanditEdit
The 2005 MY GSF 650S Bandit brings a new styling which also integrates new features aimed at providing the rider with an unprecedented level of comfort. The bike itself remains the same agile semi-naked all-rounder which is great for both commuting, weekend outings, and even for touring, with an optional luggage system.
The new Bandit comes with adjustable handlebars and seat height, and is lighter overall. The bike has new disc brake carriers which are lighter and stronger, reducing the unprung mass and adding to the easy handling.
2006 Suzuki GSF 650S BanditEdit
The 2006 MY small Bandit is a bike which is as fun as it is versatile. With plenty of grit for aggressive riding, this sporty half-naked all-rounder is suitable for pretty much anything you'll be throwing at it. An urban slicer par excellence, the 650cc Bandit is also fun around canyon bends, or on countryside roads and it will also be a nice choice as a sport-tourer if you're adding a luggage system. Maybe the small Bandit is not the most comfortable tourer, but factoring in the fun and actually riding it will put a smile on your face.
2007 Suzuki GSF650S BanditEdit
Suzuki delivers yet one more goodie to the middleweight segment in the body of the semi-naked 2007 MY GSF650S Bandit. A machine balanced almost to perfection, the new semi-faired middleweight Bandit brings together practicality, versatility, cool sporty looks and rider friendliness in a package which seems to be able to do it all.
Taking the step up to modern days, this machine is powered by the new Suzuki 656cc engine fed through the upgraded dual throttle valve EFI system. The front cowl and windscreen provide better weather protection for more comfortable, longer rides while the ABS system introduces a whole new level of road safety and peace of mind.
2008 Suzuki GSF 650S BanditEdit
Well, it's now black rather than silver, so 650 owners can now pretend their bike is a 1200 Bandit as this previously was the main visual difference. The 600 has also grown to 650 cc with a bigger bore, has a new cylinder design with a low friction coating, some new pistons and a new cam shaft. Even peak power is the same as before at a claimed 77 hp (56.6) although torque is up to 58.7 Nm (43.3 lb.ft) from 54 Nm (39.8 lb.ft).
