Picked up a Bandit 1200s about a month and a half ago, checked yesterday and put on 1,800 miles already!!! Never even knew they existed until i bought it, what a fun bike.
I love the sound, I'm restoring my bandit 1200, its a 2001, from quincy Indiana USA, turning it into a show bike with a drag engine, hoping for around 160-170 hp
sounds great! I have a 650 bandit with a black widow as well, honestly sounds somewhat similar or at least has similarities - the pops and bangs mid range are so beautiful!
Mk1 B12, I don't think there's any greater bike. Currently riding an 08 650, but looking to yeet that for a 97 Mk1 1200. Iconic bike, amazing sound, usable power and withstood the test of time. Can't go wrong with a Suzuki Bandit.
100% mate, still got her currently parked up for the winter so I get my fix on my ktm, I don't think I'll ever get rid of my mk1 just an awsome machine 👌
You are 100% right! This is old motoring. You have a beautiful machine that will serve us until the end of our days! I have the original exhaust, but I'm looking for something cool.
Damn nice! My mother also have a 1200S with akrapovic exhaust. These engine of tbis bike is just pure enjoy. The sound is so much better than most if the 600-1000er supersportler!!!
Thanks buddy, it's a 350mm can with the baffle out it can get on your nerves after a while I've put a full size akrapovic on now and I can run that all day with no baffle in it's a much nicer sound, only a little quieter but gives a deeper sound it's awsome 👍
This was my dad's bike, I had a black one in 2003 my dad loved it so bought this one in 04, I sold mine to buy a fox eye fireblade I always missed my b12, my dad had to give up riding after an injury so I had it off him, they are amazing bikes, ill have to do an overview video of it soon 👍
😁, in the video it had a 350mm black widow it was loud even with the baffle in 😂, I've put a akrapovic on it since, it's abit quieter and has a deeper tone I love it
@@mantisproductions31 don't listen to every one on the net, as a rule you only need to rejet if you're running a short exhaust airfilter air box mod etc, if you put a 450mm can you will be fine, I've been running stock jets for over 16 years, don't get me wrong it would benefit from bigger jets but she fine as is
Hi, on this video it had a 350mm black widow can and black widow full system. On newer videos it has the akrapovic system it does sound alot better than the black widow system, it just the akrapovic they sell for the bandit, they can be hard to find these days
I'm looking for one but it may be impossible, I found leoVince but it's not the same... Well, I'm still looking :) but Black widow is also great! Thanks !
@@MateuszSlezak-sd2bh yeah honestly it took me about 2 years of searching until I found a decent akrapovic can that literally just went on ebay, I was looking for either a akrapovic or a yoshimura, the black widow was a stop gap until I could find a decent exhaust
I guess... but what a joy it is when you found it and it was in your hands :D and Moto returned the favor with a beautiful sound! Must be patient. Your bike is great! I have the 2001 version. Regards!
Ok, I've had every kind of bike (street and dirt), quad, snowmobile, and sport cars and diesel trucks. Currently own a foxbody, Dodge Cummins, and 2 saabs (one with the 6.0 liter LS motor, and an RC51... everyone of them has or had an exhaust... cause I LOVE the sound of all things with a combustion chamber. Plus I think the Suzuki Bandits are great bikes that make good power, and an even better sound. But I still don't understand the constant urge to beat up the rev limiter every half block. Once for the kids, maybe under the bridge cause the acoustics make it that much more enjoyable, but more than that and it starts pissing off the locals and suddenly you have an EPA cracking down on EVERYTHING. Just sayin...
"You took the baffle out"-"OH YEAH!" Ha ha
👌😂😂👍
Funny AF :)

Stop telling lies lad
Riding a Bandit.....wearing a Bandit. The best combo.
sounds great! I have a 650 bandit with a black widow as well, honestly sounds somewhat similar or at least has similarities - the pops and bangs mid range are so beautiful!
My mate has a 600 mk2 and yeah man they do sound similar, in the flesh the 1200 just has more bass if you know what I mean,

Oh yes it’s good 👍 👍👍Love the colour too.
Man that things sounds great. I'm in the US and bought a 2007 bandit 1250. Been wanting a 05 1200 for a while have my eye on one. Nice bike sir

@@ikmoto3071 Thanks for the reply. I understand that completely I wear ear plugs mine has a full Yoshimura system and it's quiet for the most part.
I have a Suzuki gsxr 750 srad Now I buy a bandit 1200 from 2002 wat a fun bike to ride 😍
Love it 💓
I have a 2004 Bandit 1200
10,000 miles
1 owner
Magnificent bike!!

My dad
The school children wanted a wheelie not rev drops 😂 nice passenger handles btw
I know lol, I would never wheelie with my daughter on the back my wife watches these videos she would kill me 😅
@@ikmoto3071 haha my bad, I thought thats what the handles were for 🤣👍
Kids always wanna wheelie. Or they give it the full throttle sign
Sweet wheels
Enough torque to spin a fat 1 nighter off a mattress. 1200s rule
Excessive rev bombing with snap the camchain tensioner...
I have 2003 but exhaust is stock. Wish mine sounded like this lol
😁, in the video it had a 350mm black widow it was loud even with the baffle in 😂, I've put a akrapovic on it since, it's abit quieter and has a deeper tone I love it
@@ikmoto3071 I want to change mine just don't know how to tune the jets if I were to do it

@ikmoto3071 thanks, appreciate the insight I might look into this and unleash the audible power of the bandit
I'll never sell my 2003 bandit 1200. Not the fastest thing but it's fun
Idk if i want a bandit or an sv1000 now
👍
you got passenger handles on your biking jacket? I didn't know they made them
Search " pillion grab handles " , they are like a belt with a clip and the handles are attached to that

Hello, what model of Aktapovic exhaust is it? Sounds beautiful
