presentation of the GSF 650 Bandit S 2009
it's a surprise, a good surprise. Suzuki is giving a facelift to its flagship roadster: the Bandit. The N and S versions have been slightly reworked, especially in terms of trim. More fun for the naked, classier for the roadster. The side covers where the steering column meets the fuel tank are also softer and more elegant. The S version's face has been more extensively revised. The forkhead, with its less aggressive design, gains small gloveboxes and a headlamp inspired by the latest GSX-R 1000. The 2 Bandits benefit from a new black engine cover and an all-new, attractive speedometer, featuring attractive calligraphy, a speedometer and all the information you'd expect from this model. Nothing new on the engine front. Not surprisingly, it's not even 2 years since the GSF 650 and 1250 adopted all-new liquid engine blocks. Available with or without ABS, the 650 GSF S still boasts a very attractive price tag. The GSF S hopes to re-establish itself as one of France's best-sellers. However, against the sparkling ER-6 and the exciting new XJ6 Diversion, it's still going to be a very tight race.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 5 reviews
Having had it since January 2017, I'll be able to give my opinion. Already it is bridled in 34cv, therefore it is an opinion for A2 licences.
Comfort-wise, it's top notch, with a gel bagster saddle, I can ride 500km in a day without any problems. You lean slightly forward, but no wrist problems. A slight ache in the center of the back, however, after 8-9 hours of riding in a day.
Weight-wise, I was a bit surprised at first, but got used to it very quickly. And yet I'm a small guy. Be careful when reversing, though, as the bike has a high center of gravity. As soon as there's a slight incline, or gravel or dusty ground, it's dead.
As for the engine, it's very pleasant, very smooth, and makes a great noise (leovince sbk baffled pot). The baffled pot is really too noisy.
Powerfully, in A2 it's particular, the flange starts around 5000 rpm. The engine revs up very slowly from there. All the power normally arrives around 8,000 revs on a bandit. So watch out when overtaking in the area where it's turning. There's plenty of fun to be had, and for normal use, it doesn't get in the way at all.
Braking is pretty average, and the lever is spongy (ABS model). It's not the best braking I've ever experienced, but it does the job.
Fuel consumption (on the throttle) is on the order of 5.5-7L/100 with SP98, which varies quite a bit.
In short, this is a really good bike, and I intend to keep it. Inexpensive, reliable, and even though it's low-powered, it's easy to get attached :)
No regrets. Thanks Floflospeed24 :D
Ride Safe Rating : 5/5 Respond to Toine83
It's an easy, well-equipped, comfortable, fairly powerful bike, and a real looker (mind the weight, though), so for an ordinary rider I'd really recommend it.
The only real gripe is that the passenger handgrips are unfortunately inaccessible once you've got a top case, and even without one, they're not very pleasant. It's a shame they're not on the side like they are on many other models.
So you see, I've got one and I love it!
Have a nice trip! Rating : 4/5 Respond to Malko
Bought in June 2012, first GC, 20,000 kms covered in 1 year in all weathers, comfortable, thanks to the ABS, engine smooth and round at the bottom and with a nice extension at the top. No regrets. Rating : 3/5 Respond to chris 06
I bought a Bandit S last August and I can tell you that it's the best.
Impeccable handling, super-efficient emergency braking.
It's much more enjoyable on the road than my old GSR 600, and much more comfortable.
I'd recommend it to young bikers who think they'll be doing a lot of touring.
However, in built-up areas, the GSR is much smoother.
Best regards.
