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 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.
