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.

It's a full blackwidow system including headers, 350mm can without the baffle 😁
@@ikmoto3071 Sounds mean AF man
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.
Excessive rev bombing with snap the camchain tensioner...
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...
It was just one of those days you know, I don't act like that all the time
Riding a Bandit.....wearing a Bandit. The best combo.
I have a Suzuki gsxr 750 srad Now I buy a bandit 1200 from 2002 wat a fun bike to ride 😍
Anymore suzuki bandit videos coming out soon
Yes soon, I don't use the bandit over the winter hence the ktm videos
Sound nice, what can you got on that?
At that time it was a quill T3 I still got it in my garage, now she's got a full akrapovic which sounds the nuts 👌
Sweet ktm is that a supermoto
No mate she's off road spec, used to have a drz supermoto years ago that was great fun to ride
@@ikmoto3071 oh right np
Thanks for sending in mate. I will let you know when I use it :)
Class editing bro!
Lol Kristens handy work ❤️
Thsts the shit I do
The kids go mental 🤣🤣👌
I'll never sell my 2003 bandit 1200. Not the fastest thing but it's fun
You've got some shite roads there, 1200 bandit riding around residential? Nah
I was on the way to pick my daughter up and wanted to check camera angle, ill get on the nice roads soon as spring has sprung
@@ikmoto3071 be nice to see a 12 bandit being used properly mate, residential roads can be left for deliveroo scooters 😬. Will keep a lookout on your channel
@@RideToLive102 ha true mate, ill have to rember to take the gopro with me on a decent ride 👍
The carburetors were freshly drained and cleaned, yet the Suzuki Bandit GSF1200 runs on a vacuum fed fuel line.... hence IMPOSSIBLE for her to fire up that quickly with drained carbs. Even with fuel tap set to PRI first, the cylinders would still be empty 🤣 Clean engine though 👌 well looked after 😉
Just bought a Mk1 600 bandit I'm up in blackwood I'll keep eye out for u.. Nice bike love the bandits!
Nice one buddy, she's off the road for the winter at the mo, it's a pain in the ass cleaning all the salt and crap off the polished bits, not long to wait now though, ill keep em peeled for you buddy
@@ikmoto3071 I got a triumph daytona too.. I work in the car sales next door to where u took ur bike for mot. I'm sure I'll see u about as ur local. Nice to see the older bikes about newer bikes not built like the older ones. My bikes tucked up too can't wait for spring. Steve
@@berrowsmk2xr25 awsome 👌, yeah I like modern bikes but there's just something about old bikes, I've had mine sine 2006 😁
Never had problems with oxford heaters? I have some different brand, but the control thing is broken. I can't see which level of heat i'm in. Also a bandit 1200 k2 model ( 2002 ).
No, oxford one's are pretty bulletproof
@@ikmoto3071 I do have daytona one. Today it turned "on" and showed heat level 2. Nah that was not right and the grips were hotter. Will be replaced in 2022.
Sounds awesome one of the best sounding bandits I have heard.
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
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 👍
@@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.
"You took the baffle out"-"OH YEAH!" Ha ha
👌😂😂👍
Funny AF :)
Exhaust name ?
black widow
Still one of my favourite bikes of all time. Yours sounds great.
Thank you mate, she sounds even better now I've fitted an akrapovic system, I'll have to get a video up soon 👍
