2002 SUZUKI STREET LINE

Suzuki's street bike line has a solid reputation as having some of the best values in the industry. Versatile machines that have broad appeal, they offer the right combination of price, performance and style. For 2002 all three models are back with all the style, performance and value you've come to expect from Suzuki as well as a new addition to the Suzuki street line-up: the all new 2002 DL1000 V-Strom, a multi-purpose machine combining strong V-twin performance, easy handing and distinct styling to create Suzuki's first Sport Enduro Tourer.

BANDIT GSF1200S

The Suzuki Bandit 1200 has long had a reputation for doing everything well, and don't expect any less from the Bandit 1200S in 2002. Sporting two new colors for the new year the Bandit 1200S is back and better than ever. The Bandit 1200S returns with an aggressive aerodynamic fairing, bright projector-beam headlights, and protective windscreen in addition to a comfortable and stylish seat/tailsection combination, lightweight instruments and a powerful 4-stroke engine. The 1157cc air/oil-cooled, 4-cylinder engine cranks out gobs of low rpm torque thanks to precise cam timing, Mikuni BSR36 carburetors fitted with a throttle position sensor, and a high capacity clutch and oil cooler.

The Bandit 1200S utilizes a strong and stable chassis featuring a preload-adjustable cartridge-style front fork and a preload and rebound-adjustable rear shock and sturdy aluminum swingarm. Radial tires mounted to wide aluminum rims, plus dual 310 mm front disc brakes and a single hydraulic disc complete the big Bandit's exceptional chassis package.

Other features include: external tie down hooks, a large 5.2 gallon fuel capacity, large passenger grab rails, a spacious storage area, and a handy center stand. All this peformance and practicality should cost more, but with the Bandit 1200S available for less than $7500 it makes perfect sense for any rider.
