| badbandit's Full Review: 2000 Suzuki BANDIT 1200S |
I bought my 2000 Bandit 1200 because of its purported ability to deliver tough torque and because it was affordable. However, I just couldn't let it sail through my ownership without personalizing it just a little bit. When I bought it, I had the grips replaced and several months after I had the windshield replaced. Subsequently, I dropped it and and a tow truck driver dropped it once just for luck. Meanwhile, I started customizing it. First to go was the faux aluminum foil cover on the right side of the engine. Now it's powder coated gold and red. I also had numerous other parts powder coated,primarily gold,and I added a gold FMF slip on, which not only looks sharp but boosted my power down low to "Oh, my God, I'm in trouble." Now, I'm replacing the tires, and I'll keep on sprucing up the Bandit until it looks like I think it should have in the beginning.
