Mk1 B12, I don't think there's any greater bike. Currently riding an 08 650, but looking to yeet that for a 97 Mk1 1200. Iconic bike, amazing sound, usable power and withstood the test of time. Can't go wrong with a Suzuki Bandit.

Thanks buddy, it's a 350mm can with the baffle out it can get on your nerves after a while I've put a full size akrapovic on now and I can run that all day with no baffle in it's a much nicer sound, only a little quieter but gives a deeper sound it's awsome 👍

@ikmoto30714 ай бұрын
Hi, on this video it had a 350mm black widow can and black widow full system. On newer videos it has the akrapovic system it does sound alot better than the black widow system, it just the akrapovic they sell for the bandit, they can be hard to find these days

@@Suiken_n yeah honestly it took me about 2 years of searching until I found a decent akrapovic can that literally just went on ebay, I was looking for either a akrapovic or a yoshimura, the black widow was a stop gap until I could find a decent exhaust

Ok, I've had every kind of bike (street and dirt), quad, snowmobile, and sport cars and diesel trucks. Currently own a foxbody, Dodge Cummins, and 2 saabs (one with the 6.0 liter LS motor, and an RC51... everyone of them has or had an exhaust... cause I LOVE the sound of all things with a combustion chamber. Plus I think the Suzuki Bandits are great bikes that make good power, and an even better sound. But I still don't understand the constant urge to beat up the rev limiter every half block. Once for the kids, maybe under the bridge cause the acoustics make it that much more enjoyable, but more than that and it starts pissing off the locals and suddenly you have an EPA cracking down on EVERYTHING. Just sayin...
