I got a new toy :)
 

Picked myself up a 2001 Suzuki Bandit 1200. Yep 1200cc's... beautiful. :p Got it on ebay for a steal. Needs some work, but it runs and just needs a couple things (already in the mail) to drive perfectly.

Anyway, now to the fun stuff. The 01 bandit 1200 has been dynoed at ~115-120 hp with just an aftermarket exhaust and stage 1 jets. Mine came with scorpion exhaust so I'm good to go.

Heres a site with the review and stock HP and torque ratings... 110.5 hp 75.8 torque. I'm drooling as i type. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...200s-16413.htm

Oh and as you may see on that site, some bandits have front fairings. Mine is the fairing version but I am going to turn it into the regular naked bike, so all mine has from the 1200S version is the headlight.

Now I own 2 things that kick *** but can't drive in the winter. Sweet! :nana:

thats awsome man bikes are crazy fast iv always wanted one but im afraid id kill my self so be carfull lol

Haha, yeah they are insane. This bike is gonna rock my world, but I'm NEVER gonna do anything dumb like wheelie, endo, street race, or anything else that would put her in danger ............... or me I guess. ;)

not bad

looks like a solid startin point nice find

sweet

is that an I4 or v-twin?

Inline 4. The thing is so wide in person. You sit on it and its like a horse x2, haha.

I do like v-twins better cuz they are so beefy sounding but this thing will scream when its all done. :D

nice man

Naked bikes can be good fun.
I said the same thing when I got mine. I did both of those things within two days of owning it... and NOT on purpose. Totally by accident. So be careful.

:nana: Heh, it's hard to keep the front end down on these things but I'll do my best. Dude, if you were in my area we could cruise. The bandit and the Gayzer, er sorry, Fazer. :nana: :nana:

such a bad *** bike, I wish I had one :)

Sweet, Looks like a fun bike.

We could race. And I probably wouldn't need to tear you a new one, your ***-Bandit would probably do it for you! :nana:

The front of that thing looks bizzare, but sweet bike,.
