Second-hand advice Suzuki Bandit 650 (2005 – 2012)
A perfectly normal motorcycle

What it is: a normal motorcycle. Many motorcyclists think that is absolutely great. Because hardly any other machine in the middle class offers more reliability for less money. Almost abnormal.

Second hand advice Suzuki Bandit 650 / S

jkuenstle.de

The naked Bandit can be nicely led around the corner, but is not as popular as the more sensible S model.

“It just works. Technically super reliable, it doesn’t worry. ”Says a dealer who was questioned about the 650 bandit, and you can hear this wording in a similar form from other professionals. This is exactly what newcomers and those returning to work are looking for: freedom from stress. The mid-range Suzuki introduced in 2005 also proves to be an extremely solid buddy not only in the workshop, but also on the road. In particular, the very popular S version with half-shell can do everything that touring riders appreciate: You sit comfortably, have good wind protection, and very decent 86 HP (up to year of construction 2006: 78 HP; 34 HP throttle variants available for all years of construction) from a smooth-running Row fours are also good enough for long stretches of motorway. The fuel thirst is pleasantly low. Due to the low cost price for a new purchase, the used prices are at a level that even those with limited budgets can easily get hold of a decent copy – even with ABS. So everything fits.

Interested parties only have to answer one question for themselves: air or water? What is meant is whether the air-cooled Bandit 650 The first choice is the one that Suzuki offered in 2005 and 2006 as a kind of “transitional model” (old, only drilled out engine in a new frame). This is supported by low used prices (see market situation) and the appearance of the finely ribbed cylinders, which is more pleasing for many traditional drivers. However, the water-cooled injection bandit from 2007 is clearly ahead in terms of driving dynamics, pushes more from below and is more active on the gas. However, from 2007 the Bandit 650 has also gained a few pounds compared to the air-cooled model. Fully fueled, 250 kilograms are in any case borderline in the middle class, despite foolproof handling. The big 1250 sister is hardly heavier and significantly stronger. But more expensive. However, since many bandit drivers also like to convert their euros into the currency “vacation days”, the 650 is still a good deal.

Sighting / market situation

archive

The focus is on the S model of the Suzuki Bandit 650 – availability on the market is high.

sightseeing

The older air-cooled in-line quad: rock solid. After all, it is almost identical to the 600 engine, which has proven itself thousands of times, and which can withstand high mileages (over 50,000 kilometers). The newer one with water cooling: also a safe bet. Nothing breaks with proper maintenance. At least the workshops surveyed swear. Note: The 24,000 inspection costs around 400 euros. Interested parties can calmly concentrate on the general maintenance condition at the on-site appointment if a service booklet is available. And then strike quite carefree after a test drive. Is there still a luggage system as an extra? Great. With the naked Bandit, decorative parts, pretty levers or retrofitted branded silencers (for example BOS or Leovince) are all the rage, as long as everything is legally permitted.

Oval Office: The bandit makers did a good job with the redesigned tachometer and eke out the otherwise restrained machine.

Market situation

The focus is on the S model. First, because it was sold in significantly higher numbers as a new vehicle, so the range is much larger. Second, because the typical clientele for 650 bandits are touring riders. In the lower price segment (under 3000 euros) there are comparatively many dubious offers from countries such as Italy, Lithuania or Poland with noticeably low mileage despite a set age of over five years, especially on Internet marketplaces. Better not waste time on it. On the other hand, dealer offers for models from 2007 onwards are recommended if the previous owner trades in his 650er, which is maintained by an authorized workshop, when buying a larger motorcycle. This is quite often the case with this model – reliable vehicles with ABS offer a really good value for around 4000 euros.

Delays and braking distances: SUZUKI Bandit 650 S ABS (archive version)

With fast control intervals
and a gently palpable pulsation
in the handbrake lever, the Bandit 650 reaches and in dry conditions
Wet deceleration values ​​good, prevent on the zigzag track
Resonance vibrations of the front give a better result. Because the
irregularly working »human modulator« apparently does not trigger these oscillations, both testers achieved better delays without ABS. The fork is tuned too soft and hits quickly. A wet test without ABS was not carried out.

Suzuki Bandit 650
MOTORCYCLE 20/2006
The horror reveals itself in the last exhaust test by MOTORRAD. Of
Seven tested retrofit silencers, four are excluded from the evaluation because they cannot comply with the permissible driving noise value. The best system, which is the only one to receive the grade “good”, is the original Suzuki pot. In terms of performance, all retrofit systems are very close to the original.

Plus / minus: Suzuki Bandit 650 / S

plus
Undemanding inexpensive all-rounder, silky smooth running engine, decent torque and linear power delivery, good straight-line stability, extensive equipment, very long range, bright light, high payload (204 kg), good
regulating, standard ABS
minus
Unfavorably cranked handlebars, slightly spongy brake pressure point, suspension that is too soft, processing could be better, high weight

Sintered metal brake pads for the Suzuki Bandit 650 ABS: Test

Information about the test
In contrast to the original brake pads, which are approved when the vehicle is homologated
Accessory coverings have a special marking that documents their approval for road traffic. Based
the KBA number on the back of the pad
check whether the pads are actually approved for the motorcycle in question.

When it comes to material thicknesses, manufacturers are pursuing different approaches. Thick carrier plates ensure high braking-
stability – although in the case of the only average bandit brake-
system, even the comparatively thin Carbone Lorraine plates do not result in any noticeable disadvantages. The thickness of the topping has a direct impact on the wallet and is therefore included in the final rating. It is clear that the toppings are quite thin
from AP-Racing, Brembo and Lucas don’t last as long as they do
around 25 percent thicker Carbone Lorraine specimens. A replacement is due earlier accordingly.

The listed delay values ​​refer to the
Emergency braking from 100 km / h with data recording.
Each of the candidates was cordoned off on one
Test site several braking maneuvers with heated surfaces
completed and evaluated. More meaningful than the maximum delay, which is usually only achieved for a very short period of time, is the average (mean) delay over
the entire braking process.

Suzuki Bandit 600/650 S.

The Golf among motorcycles: as solid,
Inexpensive all-rounder, the previous year’s model Bandit 600 was an indispensable part of the bestseller list. The new, more high-torque 650 series with an unregulated catalytic converter was offered from February to April 2005 without ABS for 6290 euros as a half-clad S version; now, with ABS as standard, the list price is 6790 euros.

Expert Buying Tip: There are many 2005 demonstrators on offer, and the prices are low
therefore comparatively low. For around 5500 euros, a maximum of 2000 kilometers should be on the clock. Alternatively, it is worth looking for a 2004 used vehicle up to a maximum of 4500 euros with lots of accessories, completed inspection and new wear parts.

Test result: Suzuki Bandit 650 S

Suzuki Bandit 650 S hats off – after all, the ABS still scores high points
not on board at all. That proves: The facelift is a success – and the price is really hot.
