+This is the category for the Suzuki Bandit series.
-The '''Suzuki Bandit''' is a series of standard (sometimes called "sport-standard") street [[motorcycle]]s produced by [[Suzuki]].
-The following different models of the bike have been manufactured:
-* [[Suzuki GSF250|GSF250]] with 250[[cc]]
-* [[Suzuki GSF400|GSF400]] with 400cc
-* [[Suzuki GSF600|GSF600N/GSF600S]] with 599cc (manufactured 1995-2004)
-* [[Suzuki GSF650|GSF650N/GSF650S]] with 656cc (manufactured 2005-on)
-* [[Suzuki GSF1200|GSF1200/GSF1200S]] with 1157cc engine (manufactured 1996-on).
-All engines are [[DOHC]] [[straight-4|inline four]] with 16 [[valves]]; 600, 650 and 1200 models employ SACS (Suzuki Advanced Cooling System) cooling that is combined [[Engine cooling|air-cooled]] and [[Motorcycle engine#Cooling: Water or Air|oil-cooled]]. The 250 and 400cc models are [[Watercooling|water-cooled]].
-The 'S' models come with a factory half-fairing, and starting from model year 2001, a dual-bulb headlight. The base model 'N' is an unfaired "naked" bike with a single headlight.
-The Bandit series has traditionally had a reputation as a [[hooligan]] bike, due to its budget price, [[Naked bike#"Muscle" bikes|muscle bike]] looks, and sheer [[torque]] (This mostly applies to the 1200 models).  With more recent revisions, however, the bike has taken on a more streamlined and modern feel, taking it more towards [[Types of motorcycle#Touring: Sport-Tourers|sports tourer]] territory [http://www.motorbikestoday.com/reviews/Articles/suz_bandit1200s.htm].  Despite this, the 1200 remains popular with [[stunt]] riders, and is a bike of choice for various [[wheelie]] schools [http://www.thewheelieschool.co.uk/bikes.html].
