Bike Details
SUZUKI BANDIT 1216 STREETFIGHTER!!
Where do I start with this beast…
I haven\’t had this long at all and I am selling for two reasons:
I am due a serious knee operation and riding will be limited
Its an animal and I\’m too unfit to ride it as it should be!!
The bike itself is a 1999 GSF Bandit 1200 that has been bored out to a 1216 lump which is a fairly common and normal modification for these bikes. It has been done to a great standard and totally transforms the bikes power delivery- its one of, if not the quickest naked bike I have ever owned!
The bike has only covered just 9500 miles and was only on 8771 when I bought it – That\’s less than 500 miles per year – it has been cherished and in my opinion will be a future classic! All old MOT\’s prove mileage is real and legit.
It has some tasteful modifications such as an ohlins rear shock and R1 back end, a rare twin exhaust system that pops and bags all the way (be safe be heard!), and baffles are present if you like your neighbours! Mikuni carbs keep the engine running well, and there is so much scope for this bike i\’m quite gutted not to be keeping her!
The obvious change is the paint work which is very old school and matches the bike to a tee – this was done some time ago but still polishes up well. Being critical it could do with a touch up on the belly pan but other than that it looks awesome!
The wheels and casing have also been polished up and will look amazing with a little elbow grease, although this has been recently done and made a big difference – Seeing the bike in the flesh will show you how awesome it really is.
The oil cooler pipes have been uprated also and just serviced, but other than that & the Renthal handlebars, Bates twin headlights and Machined fork brace she is as standard!
She absolutely purrs when running and gear change is a smooth as you would expect for a bike with this low mileage. Chain and sprockets are good and tyres were new 300ish miles ago (BT016\’s).
Test rides are fine with cash in my hand and proof of insurance also – happy for anyone to view before they bid and any inspection is welcome.
