Description

This 1997 Suzuki Bandit GSF1200S is a rewarding, characterful ride with low miles and a lively 1200cc heart. Its upright seating and predictable handling make it comfortable for daily use, while the half-fairing provides useful wind protection for longer runs. The bike feels balanced and confident on a variety of roads, with a naturally engaging character that suits a range of riders.

Practicality is a strong point here: the bike has only two owners, comes with the original handbook and arrives with a 12 month MOT. The comfort seat and tidy condition add to its appeal for commuting or weekend escapes, offering classic usability without fuss.
