General Comments
The Suzuki sit-up-and-beg riding position on the Bandit 1200 is very comfortable, especially compared to the positions found on most sportbikes. I am 190 lbs. and 5 ft 10. Excellent ride quality; very quick; gobs of torque for passing without down shifting. It is also a very fast sportbike. I like Suzuki inline-4's because valve adjustments are very easy; just a screw and jam nut- not bucket-and-shim found on other brands that require removing camshafts. Bike is very reliable, and the engine is bullet-proof.
A great bike that will out-last me. It is a superior successor to the legendary GS-1150E of the 1980's.
