I am now the proud owner of a 1996 Suzuki Bandit 600S.
Picked up the bike this morning. It rides wonderfully, so much smoother than the CX500 that it replaced.
Was an "interesting" trip home. Not 5 miles from where I picked up the bike I picked up a nail in the back tire, so I got to replace the barely scrubbed in BT45 with a shiny new Metzler M1.
This thing is so much faster than my old honda its riduculous, its faster at 1/2 throttle than my CX500 was going all out. Im glad I did not get a 600 for my first bike, you have to be a lot more careful with the throttle and clutch at low speeds with the bandit.
Suprisingly I find this bike to be much more comfortable than my first bike, I did 100 miles on the interstate today and my hands and feet didn't even go numb. At 80mph this bike has virtually zero vibration.

Just kidding. I’ve never ridden a Bandit, but I always thought they looked really sharp. Happy bike day!
Happy BikeDay!
