Heard from someone who had a 1200, and a 1250,?, Said the 1200 had more Mid Range Torque, than the 1250? Read some guy say the 1250 Bandit was more Refined.

What was the replacement Bike for your Suzuki Bandit and, was the bandit's weight an issue ?
@thebritonabike2 жыл бұрын
BMW K1600 GTL, nah the Bandits weight was never an issue. I just wanted lockable hard cases, cruise control, heated seat and grips and all the farkles BMW offers …. Multiple Riding modes, adjustable suspension, preload, loads of additional storage, built in sat nav, Bluetooth, the list goes on …. It also is an amazing ride. I still miss the Bandit but no room in the garage … continued safe riding to you!

Nice Bandit. I have the same bike and want to ask if the Corbin seat has a lower seat height.
@thebritonabike2 жыл бұрын
Yes indeed it gives you almost a 2 inch lower sitting position. Which results in more of a true sport bike riding poison - vs a Sport touring (more upright) position. Superbly comfortable , at least for my bottom. The OEM seat is like sitting on a Hovis loaf.Cheers - and continued safe riding to you.
