The motorcycle Suzuki Bandit 400 is the founder of street fighters (street fighters, hooligans) with the original and speaking name Bandit. Today, more and more young people are choosing the Bandit as their “iron horse”. But what makes him so attractive and desirable? First of all, not only the external design of the bike, but also a low price category. Special attention deserves the marketing policy of the manufacturer. An excellent advertising move significantly influenced the sales of the Suzuki Bandit 400.
The modernization and promotion of Suzuki Bandit over time has turned this bike model into a world legend and even a bestseller. The Suzuki motorcycle series is the Bandit GSF model and is one such masterpiece.
The year of birth of the Suzuki Bandit 400 is considered to be the eighty-ninth, when the bike was equipped with a four-cylinder water-cooled engine. Aggressive and somewhat defiant appearance improved every year, thereby warming even more public interest. Nimble, light and swiveling, the Suzuki Bandit 400 is a true street fighter. In the same year, the Bandit was restyled, enriching the color scheme of the bike, adding decorated elements.
The ninetieth year was greeted by a Limited Edition gang with the incredible Cafe Racer style fairing. And if at this stage the motorcycle did not experience any serious technical interventions, then already in the ninety-first year it was faced with a thorough modernization and already had “two engines”.
In addition to the general improvement and updating of the motorcycle, significant changes have occurred from the economic side. The motorcycle Suzuki Bandit began to conquer the European market with its "explosive" character.
The ninety-fifth year was for Bandit a kind of rebirth, a new era. In the Suzuki family, the 250 cc Bandit did not show any innovations and changes, but 400 “cubes” underwent modernization. For the American and European markets, a new version of the Bandit Model 600 was released. Quite successfully, the street “bully” was greeted by fans of high-speed motorcycles and adorers of an aggressive, defiant style.
However, the appearance of the “gangster” fighter took place in the ninety-sixth year when Suzuki presented the GSF 1200 model to the world. The new hooligan bike made a splash in the world of motorcycles!
Suzuki set aside the ninety-seventh year to carry out a massive modernization of the entire Bandit family. The 400-cc Bandit survived the final restyling, acquiring mini-bikini-style cowls.
The 600 cc version passed with dignity all the stages of the consumer market without significant innovations and changes.
The GSF 1200 entered the new millennium without transformation, but 600 cubes of the 2000 Bandit was hard to recognize! The increased tank volume, the electronic dashboard of the motorcycle translated into an electronic version, the improved design, new suspensions, and the modified geometry of the chassis - all this was simply captivating at first sight!
2005 gave the Suzuki GSF 650 models to the world. Even in Suzuki’s photo, the Bandit looks like an aggressive bully tearing into battle. This is a legendary motorcycle that has become simply a cult at the expense of its fans and true connoisseurs of its rebellious nature.
