I BOUGHT A SUZUKI BANDIT 1200 FOR $350...Pretty Much Stole It..

[@KillswitchQueen]

Just found your channel... Massive Suzuki Bandit fan over here!!! I did the same thing a few years back, found a Bandit-o for cheap and fixed her up. Absolute beast of a bike. I've have to catch up on your videos and see what you've done! So awesome to see someone else giving these bikes some love :D They are painless to work on.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Glad you found the channel! Been loving your content and of course your apocalyptic Bandit! Major props for hustling like you do!

[@KillswitchQueen]

@@BrickHouseBuilds Thank you dude! Appreciate the kind words!

[@chisolm5]

Very Nice! I have been riding a '97 1200S for almost 10 years now and I have never been disappointed. The 2005 with the blue/white are drop dead gorgeous in my book. I have a Yosh slip on, Holeshot jet kit, and K&N. Very quick wheelie machine.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Oh man i can't wait! Unfortunately this thing is on hold until the dmv opens up so I can continue the title process

[@trevorjameson3213]

Great deal man, and nice bike. I had an '05 Bandit 1200S that I bought new, and put about 12k miles on it before selling it. That bike had a massive amount of mid-range torque and was really fun to ride. But man, it seemed like every time you twisted the throttle hard it would launch you up to a 100mph in no time. I ended up getting a huge ticket and decided to go back to more tame motorcycles like my old Sportster and CX500, both of which I still have and ride.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

You definitely have to have self control as likenyou said it was just too easy to break triple digits. I like to cruise at like 95 lol. I definitely miss this bike like my FZ1 but it seems I'm cursed when it comes to keeping a 1000cc sport tourer.

[@S09Engineering]

That is a steal! You'll get it running.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Oh man Im really itching to work on it but I just want to be smart and make sure the title gets squared away before anything else

[@4VR2WLZ]

Greetings from South Australia, I hope it all works out. Absolutely love my 2010 1250s, top bikes!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Funny thing, it is going away today actually:( Definitely watch the last video I posted on it to skip ahead. Major headache

That's sweet deal. Probably commuter. Bike. I just brought 01 1200 bandit motor carbs harness hand controls pipe can 200.00 29,000 miles put it in 1994 GSXR 750. Frame. Put 90 miles on so far.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

That's a cool swap! I'd love to do something similar with an older GS and build a retro race inspired bike

[@brianjacobsen5762]

@@BrickHouseBuilds I just bought 2001 bandit 1200 s with 2033 miles. On it at a car dealer org owner traded it in. Dealer asking 3900 so I put 500 down thinking my irs check would cover it. Fu King irs put a hold our taxes. So I'm making 700 month till it's paid in May. So. I showed my brother. Few weeks later mails me said he bought R 1. Fucker. So now I got buy a turbo for GSXR 750 with 1200 motor in it. Did you get yours running.?

[@butchholliday6600]

What's the title process like there? Here in Virginia filing for title for an abandoned vehicle costs $25 and takes about 2 months. Then you pay the usual $$ for title, tax and tags. Awesome score by the way!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Well Ive got titles in different ways here already but this time im going to try for a bonded title. Not overly complicated but still not simple. Havent done it before so its a learning process. I do not know who had the title so filing for a lost one wont work.

[@gkiferlt1]

Lol, must be that time of year, I picked up a 91 GSXR 750 the other day in a similar situation. What do you plan to do if not parts? Clean title frame or risk it for the biscuit when you ride? Lol

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Im starting a title process now as I very much want to ride it this season. Having a title will increase the bikes value sp I can profit on it whenever I go to sell it.

[@cainbeeping8480]

A awesome pickup. A still.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

It was a great bike

[@scottlochans4180]

Would not want a Bandit S, unless it was 750,1200, 1250. Think 1250 GT, might be an absolute JOY. Professor B.T.E OUT, BANDIT TORQUE ENJOYMENT.

[@isaiahchandra6396]

How do you title these bikes that don't come with a title?

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I have gone a couple routes on more vintage bikes in the past but on this bike I am going for a bonded title. I was expecting to have a title by now but the covid stuff shut down the dmvs causing me to be in a holding pattern. Ill link a friends channel s09engineering where he goes in depth on getting a bonded title in his state.

Brick House Builds thanks for the response dude. Looking for a cheap bike rn, but so many of them have no title! Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more content!

[@stevejames9510]

Theres a '05 with 12470 miles near me, but add a zero to your price, clean title and it runs....hmmm, I just bought a '02 XR400 non running, carb kit and a couple hours of cleaning BBURRRRRPPPPP tactic....

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

XR400 is a dream bike of mine!

[@EmoKen]

Good luck getting legal issues taken care of just bought a 2001 for $3.3k. Bike doesn't like going slow lol

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I am working on an update video actually on this bike. Unfortunately I hit a fatal snag in the process that will be explained.

[@EmoKen]

I have 2001 too. No it doesn't like going slow lol

[@crabhab]

Super great bike, I love bandits. I currently have a 2011 GSX1250FA which is a fully faired bandit 1250. Google Dale Walker he tunes and sells parts for all these bandits . Petcocks were known weakness

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Ill check both of those out! Im dying to move forward on this bike but the rona' has all the dmvs closed so I can't move forward on the title process yet.

[@gustavomiller6645]

I wish bikes were that cheap here in Australia…you barely buy a bicycle here with that money…😢

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

We are definitely fortunate here with how plentiful they are

[@creating8713]

THIS IS rare 1200SZ model. Check frame sticker on right side.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Bike is long gone as of now. Not in my possession anymore

[@motojuve8673]

How do you get it registered?

Well the rest of the videos go over how I attempted to do that. I was not able to in the end which the last video in the playlist goes over in detail.

good thing is a 500 buck muffler means a previous owner had $$$. so probably main dealer servicing.

why not just buy a new petcock?How much do you save 10 dollars? No offence meant

I prefer oem parts where possible and there was no reason to throw the old one away for a simple fix. Why buy a non running bike when I could just buy a new one...

Nobody wants those bike because of the inherent motor rattle they make at idle....big turn off....a chick looks over at yer bike at a light only too hear the motor rattling like crazy.....lol

I've never heard of that as a turn off for these. Clutch rattle is common in more than a few bikes and most of the time proper sync can reduce it. Wont stop me from wanting one!

Sound stolen.
