The '''Suzuki GSF1200''' was a [[standard]] was a four-stroke, 4-cylinder, DOHC 16 valve, air/oil cooled [[motorcycle]] made by [[Suzuki]] from 1997 to 2006 and more commonly known as the '''Suzuki Bandit'''. It could reach a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 67.86 ft/lbs (92.0 Nm) @ 6500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 98.03 HP (73.1 KW) @ 8500 RPM. 




The 1200 was a brilliant all-rounder. A top half fairing, comfy seat and riding position allowed the 1200 model to be a tourer, work horse and play-thing at the weekends. It was quite simply… just a good buy and a good bike. The engine is the real thing that really shines on the Bandit. The Suzuki 1200  has always been a good bike, now with the fairing on the S version it has softened lines over the naked bike.

The 2002 MY GSF1200S Bandit is not a spectacular machine, but it can do quite a lot of things very well. Whether we are thinking about commuting, fun rides around the city, track weekends or even longer trips, the big Bandit will life up to the expectations.
