Description
For sale is my Suzuki Bandit 600, which I have owned since January 2014. The bike has 6 former keepers, 2 keys and a mountain of paperwork.
The bike started life as a faired version, but I removed the fairing as it was a bit tatty and looked a bit dated (in my eyes). However the fairing and all fittings are included in the sale.
I bought this bike for a commuter, and it has never let me down, with the standard Bandit reliability. When I bought the bike I had it serviced with a local Bandit specialist, including a strip, clean and balace of the carbs (36349 miles). I last had it had it MOT'd in May 2014, but shortly after I changed jobs and needed a car so parked up the bandit in my lock up. Since then it has not been used and has been SORN'd. I havent been out on the bike since then but I have kept the battery on a trickle charger and started it regularly.
I always intended to keep the bike and get it back on the road but realisticly this is not going to happen. Therefore this bike is ready to pass on to someone else.
The milage on the bike is now at 36847, and it was last MOT'd at 36596 so as you will see no miles at all.
The bike is in good condition but is 20 years old and has been ridden, this is not a bike that suits being parked up and ridden once a month, its an honest workhorse with a decent power delivery.
The worse parts are that the plastics have faded in some places and have also suffered some minor damage (prior to my ownership) but they have been glued/cable tied in the right places and the damage is not visable. The only other issue is the that the rear brake is binding a little from where it has been sat dormant, but a drive will loosen this up (a known Bandit problem due to the design of the rear caliper.
So in summary, a real bargain of a bike at this price, and I'm pretty sure the first to see it will buy.
Please note as the bike is SORN and no MOT you will not be able to ride the bike away (unless you're a risk taker and the cash is in my hand ;-)
Thanks,
Rich
