Motorcycle Review - 1998 Suzuki Bandit GSF 1200 - Big, Beefy, Ugly and Fun
Definitely some shorter videos more often, in my opinion. It's often hard to commit the time to watching long videos.
I am subscribed to quite a few channels so I may receive up to 10 notifications daily, therefore, I prefer videos of 15 to 20 minutes duration to make my viewing time manageable. Your lady looked as if she was doing very well for someone who hasn't been riding a bike for a while. We all get a bit rusty after a lengthy time off bike. Look forward to seeing more of your content.
I was seriously considering this as my first big bike after obtaining my full license but it went with the cb1100sf x11 from honda. In my opinion kind of a forgotten bike amongst the 90s muscle bike crew because it was kinda weirdly styled not really retro not really modern but it delivers exceptionally well when riding. Freight train levels of torque and a substantial amount of horsepower and with the fuel injection it makes it a (for me) superior bike than the zrx1100 xjr1200/1300 or the bandit. I would only consider the gsx1400 as an upgrade over the x11 since it has more retro styling and even more torque especially when you tune it a little. Would love to see a review on an x11 from you! They shouldnt be hard to come by and i'd love to hear a comparison to all the other muscle bikes. Enjoyed the video, cheers!
insane induction sound!
Great classic bike,great riding skills so smooth great to watch!
TECHSORA
Great review Cheers
Got a 2008 1250GT 6 weeks ago mint showroom condition Suzuki blue. Got it for real cheap 3000CAN dollars. Best bike i've owned yet. Use it every day if not hard rain. Already put 6k on it since. The torque makes me so happy, i have the MiVV GP exhaust on it. The snap crackle pop sound when downshifting or coasting after acceleration is second to none. 🏍️ You make a fely nice review and i envy you sound setup for the exhaust. Ride safe 👌
I had one back in 1993 as my first big bike after passing my test, nice bike but it felt physically a bit too small after a few months
My 2020 Electra Glide has plenty of power, not like my 2017 Vrod muscle but enough for me to get around the DFW area, you’re not giving this bike much of a chance
My first bike was 98 bandit 1200 and I loved that bike. Let a friend ride it and he got a pothole sliding it donwn the road 😢
That's a pretty awesome first bike. Sad to hear it ended like that though.
Proud suzuki
Reviewing a 90's liter bike on backroads going scooter speeds.
I'm only reviewing it in the space and format that 90% of riders use them in. 👍
One of very good looking cruisers. Now already known by a lot of riders all over the world. A well done video. Enjoyed.
Thank you for this great video. It brings back fond memories for me, of my own Carb'ed Blackbird. I liked that bike a lot and I think I want another one again in 2024.
Funny thing, I have been looking for one of these bikes and came across your video. I knew something looked really familiar at the beginning of the video. And when I seen you come down the road by the hospital I knew exactly where you were. I live in the same town. I will be checking out all of your videos!
Miss that countryside :( Which area would that be? Anyway, just bought a 91 one and, as you state, those on the 1,2-1,5 K range are in serious need of a cosmetic treatment. But, on the other hand, a good machine to learn some stuff about repairing and restoring. Beautiful content, congrats!
@@bobofetto Nice man. I hope you have as much fun on it as I did. I film my videos in West Sussex. It's got some lovely quiet roads to ride on.
@@TheLoneTrader spent quite a time round the Brighton area <3
Your level of insight, knowledge and communication style is top notch, thanks for a quality experience, cheers.
@@johnmignano7872 Thank you, John. That really means a lot. I do make errors in these videos but I do try my hardest to do the research and keep info relevant.
@@TheLoneTraderjust curious to get your feedback with experience if you've tested FI 2000+ models, cheers.
Awesome video mate. Got myself a 2003 a few weeks back and absolutely love it.
Thinking of changing my exhaust to a black widow ,your bike sounds great can you tell me if your running with the baffles in or out.
Running with the baffles out. Though a lot of the sound is actually coming from the intake kit. That makes a big difference to how it sounds to the rider.
Great program . Thank you .
May I say, that if you are going to do a review perhaps you should know a little more about the bike you are riding in the first instance!
Sorry it wasn't to your taste. As stated in the video, this is more a review of hiring an Electra Glide as a Harley novice. I got sent out to Nevada with work, so I packed my Helmet and GoPro to at least get some interesting video for people. There are loads of other videos out there for others looking to buy.
An excellent review. I'm in the market for a sports tourer. I toured in Australia on a Kwaka ZR7, and it had appalling cornering. Only when I owned a Fazer 600 did I realise how fun and smooth cornering can be. It seems to me the Blackbird might be similar on the tight country corners to my ZR7.
It can hustle well but small roads are not where the Blackbird is most fun IMHO. You can just feel the weight, no matter how well it hides it.
I’ve just bought one of these , thank you very much for the detailed review.🏍️
Nice commentary and review. Hope your 40mph wobble has sorted, mine won’t do that ever. But same with the fans here on my 01 Blackbird. I was thinking about changing the bike as I was looking for something more hooligan orientated, but give the Blackbird a change of mental approach, (£5) 6mm shock spacer, knee sliders on and decent tyres, it is a brilliant scratcher on A and B roads. Nothing comes close for value for money and adaptability to roles. Rectifier and stator issues can be solved, it’s only real weak point other than weight. I just love it.
Is the handlebar straight or is it camrea angle?
The handlebars weren't straight.
I've never understood why anyone cares about the "dry weight" spec. Unless for the purpose of shipping costs where every gram costs money, I don't see how a "dry weight" spec is relevant. Under NO circumstances is a bikes engine power competing against a "dry" load that it's trying to move. I vote that we completely drop the "dry weight" spec as it's pretty much useless.
Valid point. Maybe fuel can make an appreciable difference, if barely. I also never like crank horsepower figures. They're not applicable to the actual experience on the bike. Maybe I should make a point of only wet weight and rear wheel HP figures.
Its really great., I love mine so much ❤
If you change the front springs in the front forks you will get a much better ride and you can change the rear shock too . Õhlin's has fantastic components .
I bought a brand new Bandit GSF1200S in '01 and it was the most fun bike I ever had ridden . It wasn't the fastest or quickest , but it would take me anywhere I wanted to go and comfortable doing it . I put a couple of performance modifications recommended by my buddy that was a pit crew mechanic for the Suzuka GP Circuit for Suzuki . These mods woke this engine up with a Yoshimura carbon fiber exhaust system . Wish I never sold that bike . It was sweet ! Later on I bought a '02 Naked version and blew it up . I bought a new engine and modded the engine and it would wheelie any time I twisted the throttle . Loved this one too . Thanks for the video .
Would this be an ideal bike to start on I’m lookin at one rn 👀
Not ideal, no. It's very heavy, tall and powerful for a first bike. Anything is possible but you'll have an easier and safer time on something a bit lighter and less powerful.
"limited power of engine" it's 40 odd hp, what is it with so many bikers obsessed with more power and bigger engine cc than many cars ?
Come on mate, it's slower than most executive cars 😄. If you listen to what I say I'm very complimentary about the engine, but it's pretty undeniable that this is not a powerful bike.
@@TheLoneTrader lol, what power do people want on 2 wheels ? seriously ? I think my T-max 500 is more than fast enough, I mean for sane people it really is lol.
Second best honda ever first is nsr 400 2 stroke. Honda builds great 400 bikes. Had 75 400 four super sport in 78 loved it. Perfectvsoze and power for street. Anything bigger is ego cause a good 400 four is all you need for streets. If you race better bikes but for street anything bigger is wasted on 99% of riders as you would never reach a modern 400 fours limits and you know it, if you are honest. 600 and up is ego no where on street do you need 160mph bike. Lighter smaller is faster evetywhere but long straights
I have a xv750 trike and a Xv535 motorbike with a Pro Kustoms spray job all war memorial related. The bikes called "Poppy."
A well done video. Enjoyed. Got the 650 as a second bike. I like it a lot. Cheers bro.
yea stuck needle and seats and or dirt stuck there is a bitch , so yea sorting the carbs is the most important part and then riding it regular enough so it doesn't get gunked up or draining the carbs if not ridden at all for winter
I own a 1200n 99.ive had a few sports bikes,thought about selling this one but i cant think of anything better, the more you ride these things the beeter they get
Hi my friend, I have a same biker, the GSR600 it´s a fantastic motorbike , the end of the day , I don´t have any problema with this bike. Thanks for this video, greetings from Barcelona. ✌
Rab ne banadi jodi bike
I've owned 3. A 2004 blue, regrettable sale. A Silver 2005 (Stolen)😢 and just bought a 2007 Iron Nail with full luggage and only done 18,500 miles.
I have a mk1 1200 N Love it. After riding old BMW'S and evo Harley's for years it's a blast to ride. Great review recommend to anyone 👍
@ 26:35 ...but not with the unspeakable mild steel exhaust manifold, in which the baffle plate(s?) often comes off, and then the loud rattling noise starts at around operating temperature - especially when accelerating in a gear too high.
That fuel gage giving me anxiety🔥
What's crazy right now is that vfr750's and vfr800's are going cheap as chips right now, and vfr400's are going for more it seems than their larger counterparts. Seeing the same with old fireblades too. Seems like riders and collectors are favouring the smaller bikes, I can only assume for the same reason I'm after an old 400. They rev like crazy, and you can use all the power on public roads safely and legally. Even a 900cc fireblade or vfr 750 with a top speed of 170+mph seems a little silly unless you're going on German autobahn or tracks. On UK roads/motorways what are you going to do? Rev all the way in first, then shift up throb fears while dropping revs and just cruise? It's fine I guess, but I'd rather have the mc22 or a 400rr or vfr400 and enjoying making it work a bit harder.
its same engine as gsx r 600 just detunned so same gearbox
I had one of these 20 years ago. I loved mine, although I agree the suspension and brakes were a weak point. Ended up swapping my suspension entirely, upside downs and rear shock off a GSXR 750, 6 pot brakes from a Hayabusa. Not quite a direct fit, but pretty close.
Seeing you go past the petrol station and it says 116.9... dates the video 😅 Nice review... Seriously considering one for my mid-life crisis 😂
Isn't that right! 😄. Go for it. It's the perfect midlife mobile.
Great review. Very detailed. Thank you!
I bought the VFR 1200 in 2010. It's a little higher performance and heavy. Great for long rides but, 500 plus pounds and big , bulky fairing but, I still love it. Does the quarter mile in the 10s at 135 mph....top speed...170? Never been there.
I did ride a VFR12 for a short while. Nice bike. The tank range was the only real thing that concerned me. It was interesting. I would very much like to try the DCT version.
