2007 kills Suzuki Bandit and welcomes new GSR models, GSR 1200 & 1800

Written: 27/07/2006 : 09:22. Read 35523 times (40/day).

Both the current GSF 650 and 1200 Bandit are only Euro 2 homologated. The 2006 GSR 600 takes the place of the middleweight Bandit that according to insiders will disappear from Suzuki's model range in 2007.

GSR 600 is a far more modern motorcycle with both engine and chassis performance that exceeds the GSF 650 by a mile. Our insider also told us it is believed that the Bandit 1200 will continue in some form or shape.
Let us introduce you to the GSR 1200. With fuel injection and new exhaust with Euro 3 catalyser the bandit 1200 engine should be able to squeeze out a few more years before being replaced. But what about a GSR 1000 I hear you say. GSX-R 1000 features possibly the very best in-line four engine ever with plenty of torque that would have fitted a GSR 1000 perfect. Suzuki may well have planned a GSR 1000 (read this, but we all know how the big B-king concept with GSX1300R engine went.

This is what we really want, however rumours have just arisen that Suzuki might go down the "MT-01" road in stead. Our brilliant designer has produced a concept just as gorgeous as Suzuki's original B-king concept in a GSR 1800. Take one M1800R Intruder engine and whack it into a sporty chassis capable of handling massive torque and voila you have Suzuki's answer to Yamaha's torque sports range. Exciting as it may be, we have no official Suzuki comments on either concepts. What we do know is that Suzuki will launch more new bikes than ever before due to the 2007 EURO 3 emission regulations. The international motorcycle shows this autumn will be busier than ever and I will provide full coverage from all of them.
