My New Bandit 1250

Picked this bad boy up over the weekend from a tearful owner.

2009 GSF1250

Dream Machine paint job (only one like it)
Hagon rear shock
Hagon progressive springs in forks
ASV shorty levers (hmm like them but too short)
Renthal bars
Renthal sprockets
Blue watercooler hoses
Sintered brake pads
Yoshimura bobbins
After market exhaust (soon to be rebranded :Whistling: )

Bunch of other tasteful mods that i forgot.

Bike is MINT and i am absolutely in love with it, the amount if torque availible from idle… its biblical :w00t:

So now i have 2X blue/white Bandits at my place!.

Shes a beaut!

Very nice.

It’s good you’ve got the older alloy-coloured engine (like mine). I prefer those to the newer black-painted ones. The engine is a feature on this bike and should be shown off, rather than hidden/camouflaged, in my opinion.

If you’re inclined to tinker, some good things are said of this website, however I’ve never been tempted as my 1250 gives me all the performance I will ever need from stock.

Here’s a good forum you might find useful.

I agree about the engine colour, silver does look better.
Have you seen the latest model of the bandits, got some disgusting headlight and ugly rear end, some sort of gladius/gsr copy.
Its a muscle bike, its not supposed to have modern looks.

I will be installing a set of arrow headers and a power commander, should net 120bhp+
No interest in gutting the throttle body’s, il leave it as suzuki intended.

Nice!

Lovely bike!

That’s a sick looking ride, love that paint job. Enjoy!

what a beauty!!! these bikes are bloody awesome as you well know and yours looks more bloody awesome than most. ooo i`m dribbling…

Today was the first time i rode her in the wet :frowning:
I have realised that this bike does only 2 things:

When Dry it wheelies everywhere
When Wet it wheelspins everywhere

So i have decided to give her the nickname ‘wheelies or wheelspins’

I so love this bike, good on fuel too :smiley:

What tyres you got on it at the mo’?

You should get no wheelspin on a scrubbed-in PR2 or 3.

very nice

BT-021 i think

They are fairly new so wont be changing for a whole.
On my shopping list is the PR3’s

Oh forgot to add…

Installed a HID front light, looks so good!.
Its technically illegal but meh, sue me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Introducing my ‘Ladyboy Special’ Yoshimura exhaust :smiley:
You get 5 points for guessing why i named it that…

How about fitting a real yoshi exhaust instead of lying about it

grumpy much?

Why not, its just a bit of metal.
