  • Over the winter months there has been some changes on the bike front. Alex has bought his BMW R1200 GSA back as he was missing it and I have aquired his GSX 1250FA. The Honda CB650R will remain in the fleet and will mostly be used for commuting as it's really good on fuel compared to the GSX
    This is my first ever proper ride on the Suzuki GSX 1250FA, the last one I rode was a GSX 1200 Bandit so I could test ride it after I carried out a complete front caliper rebuild on my mates bike. The torque this thing has compared to my CB650R is amazing
    In this video it's just myself and Alex taking a stroll to Callander to give the bikes a shakedown after the winter break. This was also Alex's first time back on his GS after about 18 months!

    You kept that one quiet Sean. The Bandit is a great bike, my brother had the 1200 bandit and he always said it was a workhorse and bullet proof! The 650 was a great bike and it's a shame to see it go

      Cheers Buddy, I can confirm that the 650 is staying! The Bandit will be my weekend bike and the occasional commuter. The 650 will mostly be my summer commuter now with the occasional ride out for pleasure.
      The Bandit is a superb bit of kit, and it certainly is a workhorse with lots of poke.

    Morning Sean, I loved my GSX1250, great bikes. I didn't realise you'd bought that one and Alex had gone back to a GS. Is that his actual old bike?

      Morning Nige, yes it's Alex's old bandit. We came to a deal when he bought his GS back. The Bandit rides so nice and the torque is great!

      Morning Dunc, yes Callander is a cracking wee place and one of my favourite places to visit. Alex isn't keen on my vaping habit but it's slightly better than smoking and my wife let's me vape in the house lol

    Nice vid. Stop calling it a Bandit tho mun. It was never sold or marketed as such. The GSF1250 was a bandit. You have a GSX. I'm not disputing it's broadly the same mechanically but that's not the point.

      Sorry if this upsets you buddy but it's a bandit to me. Thanks for your honesty and comment
