- It seemed like the time was upon me to sell my mk Suzuki Bandit 600. I thought the other motorcycle would have been better. It did seem better on paper. Did I have a lucky escape?

You will never find a bike like the bandit mate. Good solid workhorse. Bike for 1500 is hard to think of one better than the bandit.
Agreed. I think I dodged a bullet
disagree, ZX6R 600cc is perfect and not expensive.

@@davexs I had a zx6r & loved the engine & looks but I didn't get on with it
@@davexs Great bikes mate, but the riding position on the Bandit is more upright. I'm not a over the tank, sports bike type.
@@exeterrider I'm also not an over the tank rider but the ZX6R is a halfway house between upright and tucked. Plenty of leg room as well..........Cheers buddy
From the states, Ohio.. love my bandit 600..she's not the best lookin or the fastest on the block, but she's makes me happy and makes me smile 😊.. all the best bud!
Thanks. That's how I feel about mine.
Adam keep your Bandit mate, you'll regret it later. Just think of all the fun rides you have had on her and the good times spent ❤ together. Keep her don't let her go to an abusive home. Save up and get a second ride if that's what you really want to do..I've looked after mine and had her nearly 8 yrs now. Never let me down. I've Just added a photo on the Bandit owners club to help you make up your mind.
Ooh, I'll have a look. Thanks

I just picked up an immaculate 650S a few weeks ago. My first ever Bandit. I loved them when I was a kid but never had the chance to own one. I’m absolutely loving it!! It’s just one of those bikes that feels right as soon as you ride it. I originally bought it as my weekly slogger but it’s already become my go to bike of choice. A really great find.
I felt like that the 2nd I first sat on my Bandit. I loved the ride home. I have a Himalayan now which I love equally as much
I almost made the same mistake, several years ago. I had my Bandit 600, and wanted to upgrade to the 1200. I felt it was a logical move, because I could transfer some expensive extras I’d put on the 600, mainly a Corbin seat and backrest ($500). I rode the 1200 for a little while, and decided it was just a bit too big, with a higher seat and 25 more pounds, and too powerful: 100hp vs 75 for the 600. So, I sold the 1200 at a break even, and kept the 600. Been riding it for 19 years!
I ended up swapping the Bandit for a fazer and that was a mistake. I ride a Himalayan now and I like it but I miss the Bandit
I love the naked bandits, love your bike, pleased you kept it mate.
Thanks. I just wanted something more modern. Maybe I should just spruce my bandit up
You are lucky Mate.. keep the Bandit. Love my 600s
I still have it. In my latest video I talk about buying a new tank & plastics for it. I found some that were in storage for 20 years. Excellent condition.
I sold my gsr 600 and regretted it immediately, so I went and bought a gsr 750, that was close, I can't do without a gsr. Similar to you as you are with a bandit. For a replacement check out the GSR600, it's awesome. Stay connected and more importantly stay blessed and safe on two wheels, your biker brother Traveller MIA 🇬🇧
Gsr600 is tempting. I'll definitely miss my Bandit when the time comes
Why, it's snappy fuel injection isn't good for beginners and annoying.
Plus you can't do the valve check as easily as you can with the bandit as the gsr has shims!
A 1200 bandit would be a better bike to get!
At the end of the video the comment of your wife's mate I nearly choked on no coffee well timed lol as always great story think you know what bike you need you have been riding long enough to make that desion me I'm a road rider so if and when I'll go for a cruiser but Not a harley too loud tbh too heavy for a 60kg body like mine lol
I'll love a bobber as a second bike. One of my mates makes them but usually keeps them for himself
I’d deffo stick with that bandit for a bit longer! It sounds sweet dude
Sorry dude. I dont know why I didn't see this message earlier. Thanks for the comment
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs 😂👌 hope you’re well dude!
My intention is to try different engine configurations. I've had a single (CBF125), a parallel twin (Ninja 650) and an in-line 4 (Z1000SX). So next would have to be a triple, boxer twin, V/L-twin, V4 or something like that. But I have no intention of switching at the moment, very happy with my current steed. Doesn't stop me thinking about cheating on her, though...
So many bikes you could try... Honda CB 600F Hornet, Suzuki SV650, an older Triumph Street Triple, Aprilia Shiver...
I'll love to try the Triumph. I've ridden a few bikes, BMW GS, Kawasaki ER5 & zx6r, Ducati Monster. The most surprising was actually the ER5
i am soon to be 61 i dont think i will need anything faster than a Bandit and for the price range it has to be the best
I know older guys who ride the salt flats in Utah. Age is just a number.
The Bandit is a fantastic bike. Im sure I'll get another one day
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs i have had a 1200 in the past and massively regret selling it, though was a bit heavy on the juice. I feel a middleweight with a bit of oomph should suit me well
I like your bandit,it's gonna be a classic 👌
Its already a classic
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs I mean your personal bike
Will be in a museum
"Adams Motorcycle from his TH-cam days" 🤣
@@itsmephil2255 😆 yeah right
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs you will be mentioned with the greats while people sing songs about your exploits 😅
Awesome video mate, those dirty corniche scoundrels 🤣🤣
Any chance you wife's mate can be in your next video 😎👍
:D
I think we should be kept abreast of this situation.
@@NooBiker 🤣
Stick with the bandit mate, maybe try the 1200 mk1 though, that’s my plan anyway 👍🏻
This video is old now. I swapped the Bandit for a Fazer and regretted it so bought a Himalayan & swapped the fazer for a custom cub. I'm happy now but definitely need something like a Bandit 1200 in my garage as well.
Thanks for watching
If you like the Bandit, try a 1200?
I'll love to give it a try
We better get a nice whale tail shot of you on whatever bike we see you on next! And I vote for the HD Livewire if you can find one.
I can probably find one but I can't afford one. I need something small & nimble for the roads I ride
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs Even if its just you sitting on one with your thong hanging out, I'll be happy!
@@LoneWolferGarage i can arrange that
Ayup! What happens is for the best, you already have a great bike maybe it's a grass is greener itch? You could maybe do some test rides? If your handy with mechanics how about doing a fixer upper? Maybe a little two stroke 250 for a few hundred and really go nuts 🥳 but my all time favourite is a klr 650, but they are impossible to find these days. They are nimble enough to get you round the back lanes, go off road and motorways. My first big bike and it was amazing....till I crashed it 😓😓
Im not handy with mechanics but happy to learn. I'm tempted to get a 125 or 250 & make a bobber
Never sell the bandit the fit and finish on a old Suzuki is alot better then a newer Kawasaki
When you told me on Saturday I started to wonder if I was making a mistake
Keep the bandit matey. I regret not keeping mine
That means I'll need 2 bikes
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs ive got 3 and currently winning a bid on a 4th😂😂
Keep the bandit I say! 😁👍
What mirrors are they if I can ask? :)
I still have it & just bought something to upgrade it. I can't remember what mirrors they are. Sorry I couldn't help
If you still have your bandit , replace it with the 1200 bandit mark 1 , you will not regret it , I have one myself and I will never sell it , I ride mine at weekends only , I've done the everyday riding when I was younger , now it is pure pleasure riding ,
I swapped it for a Fazer and regretted it. Bought a Himalayan & Custom c90. I'll love a B12 in my future
I've had a few dreams where I sold my bike for another that quickly fell apart. Needless to say, it's a horrible feeling until you properly wake up with a good cuppa and take a moment to appreciate what you have.
Guess every new purchase/mod/work we do has it's own risk and reward. Think you got away without a risky venture. :)
I agree. Its a bit scary trying to get a new bike when you still love the current one but change is good sometimes.
Looks like I'm spending my evening on ebay.
amazing content, big like \,,/
Thanks
What bike should you buy next?
An adventure bike obviously, since you mainly ride back lanes
I'll love a fun little bike that I can keep pinned down all the time but only as a 2nd bike
Try a older triumph street triple it will change your world, it change mine 😀
Is that the physically larger one? I saw the newer model & it looked small.
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs I'm 6 ft and I and have been to Amsterdam and back on it, it maybe smaller and lighter and have mor bhp than a bandit I can put up with it looking a little smaller than others
I already didn't think it was a good idea, before the two weeks MOT. Who sells a bike with two weeks MOT?
For that budget your not going to get a lot. Bike prices have gone crazy.
A hornet 03-06 might possibly be in budget. Lighter, more powerful, comfortable. Or a GSR600 perhaps
I'm sticking with the Bandit for this summer at least. I'll probably start looking for a new one next year now.
Can u do a video how to change a bulb got same bike but don't know where the low beam bulb is and change it
I'll see what I can do
I'd keep your trusted Bandit rather than risk buying an unknown condition bike for now. Oh and like @WestonSuperMotoVlog said... get ya wifes mate on! :D
😆 I'm the keeping the Bandit for now
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs :-)
Get a VFR 750. It will be much faster, have better weather protection and be bullet proof with that gorgeous V4 engine.
You had a lucky escape with that Kawasaki. They can be troublesome and you'd have been kicking yourself for getting rid of the Bandit, believe me.
I'll love a vfr, that's one of my favourite bikes and I almost got one recently. I do love the Bandit but I've recently got a Fazer. I think I'll keep the Fazer for a year then get something else
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs A 600 or 1000cc. I part exchanged a Fazer 1000 for a CB650F and also have an immaculate Bandit 600.
The Fazer had fantastic power.
@@Apollo949 a 1999 600.
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs 👍
Sorry for the late reply. TH-cam is being silly. I've always been interested in the vfr but now I'm torn between a sports tourer or dual sport
1500 pounds budget to buy a bike? I heard that recently there was a Bandit 600 for sale in your area at 1150. You ought get that one.
😆I'm almost positive that actually my bike up for sell before I decided to keep it
You sound too happy with yours to change it. What about a YZF 600 (thundercat) though…..
….pretending I didn’t hear those nasty things you said 🙉
I was looking at Thundercats before I got my licence. I'll like to test ride one
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs Maka Jeryko used to have a Chundercat IIRC, they are really very good bikes
The only bike to change the bandit for would be a Honda hornet !!
I ended up getting a Fazer & now I have a fazer and himalayan.
How many miles to the gallon or km per liter you do on average on a bike like this?
I don't know. It's pretty fuel hungry but maybe that's the way I rode it. A full tank would last me about 130 miles
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs Thanks man. I heard about that. I was looking at an bandit but i'm going to pas on it for this reason. It uses more fuel that my 2 ltr car. 😂
@JoKr my Himalayan is good on fuel but its completely different from the Bandit
Didn't realise it had 70k on the clock 😳 Wise choice. Typical Facebook market place though. Drives me mad. Try a Fazer. Mine was OLD but great. Wish id have kept it but wanted something calmer as I was a beginner.
Fazers are very similar to Bandits so I'll probably like it
🙂🙂
36 and can't get your leg over the bike! Time to start getting into yoga you old fart!! Just kidding man, I've got 11 years on ya. What bike would I recommend for small English country lanes....Hyabusa baby!! 🤘🤘💪👌. Hahaha.
😆 I was thinking honda c90 with a turbo attached
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs Turbo c90 with purple flame paint job..hell yeah!!
I ride a Bandit 600s and I’m 63! You shouldn’t have any problem with your long legs, lol…
Save your 1500 for more gas ⛽️, for more miles on your Bandit!
the kawasaki zr750 was 76hp so less than the bandit
I think I kept the Bandit for another year then got a fazer but I miss the Bandit
〓〓 🙊🙉🙈
You know I'm kidding.
Shout outs to your wifes mate. If you are here and reading this comment please make yourself known, thanks in advance.
😆 it took me a minute to remember what I said about my wife's mate.
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs Aha top man. Great vid mate
@auntyclockwise3771 I see you subscribe to c90 adventures. Scroll far back in my videos and you'll see me and him playing vr and me driving his electric car around a farm
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs Good looking out bro, will have a look
