What Your Bike Says About You




I bought my 2000 Suzuki Bandit 600S (aka "Y2K B6") for two reasons - value and versatility. It's possibly the best bang-for-the-buck bike you can buy new, and it can do most everything. Put aftermarket saddlebags on it, and it's a capable sport-tourer. Upgrade the suspension and it'll give Supersports a run for their money. Put a topcase on it, it's a great commuter (sport-commuter?). It's fast (the engine is GSXR-based) and it's pretty.

My bike is a second-generation model, introduced in 2000 (for a pic of the first generation, click here.) For those who need maximum horsepower and torque, Suzuki also makes a cosmetically-identical 1200cc version (aka "B12"). It's a roadburner.

The only negative I've found is buzziness. That can be reduced with a carb sync, barsnake, and a few thousand break-in miles.

Poke around the site through the menu above and check out my mods, and more.
