Suzuki GSF BANDIT K4 600

I bought my Bandit from a local bike shop, Christchurch Motorcycles, after about 6 or 7 years without a bike. I had just moved, and the heavy traffic in the area meant I could get to work faster by walking.

I saw the Bandit and couldn't believe its condition. It had 18,000 miles on the clock and was in almost showroom condition, with full service history. I had to have it.. Bandits are quite heavy bikes, solidly made but they really are fun to ride, with great handling, plenty of power and decent brakes and lights. They're also a great bike for the DIY'er, with easily accessable engine and easy to adjust valves. Mine returned 54 mpg pretty much all the time. They're very practical bikes too, with bungee hooks under the seat and are big enough to strap on bags and topbox etc.

I rode mine up to Scotland one summer to visit family and it was ultra reliable and comfy with no problems, and I could still walk when I got there! The only problem I had with mine was a carburetor icing up and causing a slight misfire - a carb. heater had packed up, easily fixed for about a tenner and 10 minutes with a spanner.

After 2 winters under a cover the finish stood up well, and I remember riding it one winter on shiny black ice on a local side road, with the bike and myself staying upright! Would I have another? Definiteley, they're great bikes!

Hi all, I'm a born again biker after 30 years and my boss was selling his bandit600 to buy another bike. So convinced the Mrs to let me buy it.

Omg... Such an amazing bike, its fast , bit not too fast to scare ya. Looks and feels like a big bike, which is great..

Ideal bike for someone like me and watching you tube on tips.

That's me done and thx bandit , as enjoy riding it every time...Sanj

I've only owned my bandit 600 for a little while, but I have totally fallen for this bike. I owned a CBR 125r before I bought my bandit and it was alittle cramped to say the least (I'm 6'3). This bike on the other hand is very reliable, very comfortable for the taller person and handles very well. Mine is restricted to 33 bhp but can still put a smile on my face, get me out of trouble with other cars and be the first off the lights by a long shot. Overall if your looking for a first "big" bike, or getting back into riding this is a great bike to have. I've already recommended a bandit 600 to several of my good friends.

Cracking bike for little money. get the Suzuki GSF Bandit K4 600 used for very little. Great bike with loads of down torque to take on the rest at the lights and with good road craft, plenty of grip to keep up with much bigger bikes on the twisties.
