1989 - 1991 Suzuki GSF 400 BANDIT

The initial model of the Bandit 400 is quite easy to recognize from its dark brown colored front forks. The same type of front forks appeared again in 1992 but then the brake discs had different design.

The bandit series is the absolute bestseller in today's Suzuki program: the GSF 600 is clearly in the first place in the new registrations in 1997, the big Bolide GSF 1200 follows already fourth place and is thus the king of Big Bikes. There are virtually no model modifications. With the change of the sixth gear and the rear sprocket the translation for the German version from 1993 was slightly shorter.
