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.
