- Whilst riding to a camping weekend I talk about why I love my Suzuki Bandit and the story behind buying my first one.
Do you have a story behind buying your first bike or do you have a particular bike which might not be anything special to others but you hold in high regard? If so, why?

I had a red one with a GSX750F engine slotted in. Wonderful stuff! Personally, I'll never want for anything bigger. Same story as you, basically. My brother bought one of the original dark green ones, absolutely fresh out of the crate at the Suzuki dealer it was. I looked at it and thought..."me want".
A 750 engine in one would be sweet! The 600 is plenty for me though. My mate had a dark green one too, lovely.
I love them because like you said they are work horses. They rev high, scream & are smooth to ride. I love mine so much that I'm thinking about getting the 1200s or getting a something for long rides but keeping my 600N for fun.
EpicAdam Motovlogs I hoped you’d watch this one mate. Bandits are so good! Always wanted a 1200 but I think I’d be too foolish on one to be fair 😂
@@dadandmad they're great but I'll probably won't have 1 if I had more money to spend on a motorcycle. They fit my budget & offer plenty of performance & fun. I'll probably get the 1200 next year.
EpicAdam Motovlogs Oh for sure mate. With the room I have for motorcycles, the Bandit will have to go at some point but I will always have a soft spot for them.
Ever seen you ride so fast 😂
Been Looking at a second bike to , nearly pulled the trigger on one but my car started playing up , 🤦♂️
DanoMoto 😂 Love that bike dude. Ride a little more exuberantly without Mad too 😳
It is good having a second bike for sure.
Looks like you are having a blast on that bike. It is nice having a change of ride every so often, keeps things fresh and super exciting 😀
Ride On Two oh I do love a blast on that bike dude! Thanks for watching!
Looks like you are going 200mph lol. Watching now
😂 Within the speed limits I assure you lol
Thanks mate!
They are solid bikes, I used to work for a local bike shop and the bandit was my go to for ride alongs when a customer wanted to test ride another bike. The half faired version I thought was a bit more piggish in handling than the naked. Really would love to pick one up again just for kicking around town.
Great fun aren’t they. Yeah I’ve never been keen on the looks of the half faired S version. You can pick them up pretty cheap and parts are everywhere. Go and treat yourself!
Hooligan tool is a Bandit! I’ve ridden all sorts of bikes and the 600 was such a giggle too.
Oh yes. Always good fun on the Bandit. I did want a 1200 but the 600 is plenty in all fairness.
Nice to see and thanks for showing us all
Thanks mate and appreciate you stopping by.
Nobody has ever quite done the budget bike for everybody quite as well as the Bandit 👍
I used to keep my bikes in my hallway ☺️ a conservatory is a brill ‘shed’ 😁
The Rider Guider In the hallway, wow. Needs must though! The conservatory was a great shed. I could sit in the living room and admire it through the window!
dad_and_mad 😁👍🏼
Having lots of fun, nothing wrong with that, Stephen.
So much fun, cheers!
It's a nice bike for sure! Good to have more than one bike too. I'm hoping to pick up a cruiser at some point. One for speed, one for comfort!
Oh yeah dude, one is not enough! Would love to see you on a cruiser again. 👍
Love the video. My first Suzuki was the “waterbuffalo” that was before you were born. It was very quick. Ride Harley’s now, i guess because I’m old and my reflexes aren’t there anymore for the quick bike. There’s a sayin, “nothing happens fast on a Harley but a wreck” so i stick with the slower, big and bulky Electra Glide. I’m 68 now and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Be safe!!
Hey John, thanks for stopping by! The Bandit is good fun but I do love my Sportster. I’m looking at a Road Glide in future too. I ride with a mate of mine who’s 70 years old and he’s one of the quickest I know! Age ain’t nothing but a number. 😜
Nobody has ever quite done the budget bike for everybody quite as well as the Bandit 👍
You passed your bike test 2009? Same as me!
For sure mate. The Bandits are cracking bikes. I’ll always have a soft spot for them.
Yes I did mate, I think it was the July 2009 I passed my mod 2. 👊
Right on man! I think my choices at the time were my Fazer or a Bandit. Sadly I couldn't find a decent looking bandit for my budget. The rattle can paint job looks well decent!
Thanks mate, yeah the paint job was done by my mate who owned it before me. Looks good though!
You can see this bike gets no love like the Harley does 😝😎🤙🏻
Big Bert For sure mate, but I love that about it, low maintenance and no cares given!
Looks like a lot of fun!
So much fun dude!
Sounds good and goes well which makes up for anything else 😃
Absolutely! Old faithful.
Great reason 👍 grea memorys about your mate
Thank you Doyle. The Bandit definitely has some great memories attached to it for me.
Interesting video ,I've subscribed so I don't miss out on the fun !....I'm a mad dad too with a Bandit of course !
It looks like a classic and it is sounding great. Being a 4 cyl bike means that it offers a smooth ride and these is enough... will try to find one in really good condition. Got my like here bro.
Thanks so much. Sorry for such a late response!
You are welcome. I got the bike. Can check it.
Looks like fun!! Thanks for sharing this.
Hey Whit! The Bandit is a great bike with some great memories attached to it. Thanks for watching as always!
Another brilliant video !

Check out Killswitch Queen channel. She’s working on her second bandit.
MyDunnLife will do! Bandits are such good bikes.
Great vid 👍 always say don’t need to spend lots of ££ to have fun on a bike 😎
Yam Yam Biker Cheers mate, yeah for sure. So many riders pass their test and go for brand new bikes nowadays but there’s a lot to be said for those old classics!
Cracking bikes, built like tanks
Heck yeah. Awesome bikes.
She looks like one fun a$$ ride brother
Oh yeah she’s a blast! Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply!

They’re Renthal bars and they’re really nice.
