We have just secured a 2005 suzuki bandit 650S!
It is the ever so cool blue color (turquoise almost)! We pick it up in Sask (canada) on Saturday and ride it home! We paid $7500 cdn out the door. Good price do ya all think? It's brand new.
Younggun is very excited (sorry to "out" ya there hubby!). Now we can take part in those edmonton rides!!
Now, I wanna hear how you all love your bandits and we made a great buy....

That's great.
We don't get such nice standard bikes in the U.S. (least not anymore). I read in a U.K. bike magazine that those bandits have very smooth fueling but has soft springs for spirited riding through corners.
Have fun.

Congratulations on joining the Bandit club. I love the styling of the gen 3 models and being a Bandit devotee myself I am sure you will have many happy miles on it.

Yes the bandit is a tad on the softly sprung side.
congrats on getting a bandit, you will love it.
