03 Suzuki Bandit 600

#1 Unread post by MotoF150 »

I found a used 2003 Suzuki Bandit 600 for $3000, needs tires, chain and sprockets, 5K miles. Maybe thinking about keeping my 05 M50 since I can't sell it for $2500 and brand new M50's are selling for $4995. Any of you experts know anything about the Bandit 600? I was reading the reviews on it and got the impression its a high rpm bike with vibration and the 1/4 mile numbers are not that good , the Yamaha FZ6 is a better bike, but that bike is hard to find cause people hold on and keep it. My general rule still applies, the type and make of bikes nobody wants are the used bikes that are for sale, the good bikes, people keep.

For once you're right! And that explains why I don't see many used M50s or Volusias for sale! Nor do I see many FZs, SVs, or Z750s like I want... Ah well...

Anyone as smart as you would easily be able to pick his own bike.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

im thinking about buying it and keeping my M50 and owning 2 street bikes, If the Bandit has engine problems I can save it with Amsoil, I really want a used Yamaha FZ6 but its impossible to find one used, yanno nobody sells a good bike.
