The Bandit 1200 was a pleasant motorcycle that earned Cycle World’s Best Standard award in 1997 – and that was with 100 horsepower at the crank. This bike has modifications that include the head (ported and polished) and cams from a Suzuki GSX-R 1100, Mikuni RS36 flatslide carbs, and a Hindle stainless steel exhaust – this bike now puts down 130 horsepower to the rear wheel.
Other upgrades include Race Tech forks with Progressive springs, Penske fully adjustable shock with remote reservoir, Corbin seat, Wolfman soft bags, and two windshield options. This seems like it would be a hell of a budget bike to cross the country on! It has 37,000 miles and the expected amount of “scratches and wear marks”. My only gripe is that the seller just has one photo!
