1998 Suzuki Bandit 600

Is $1500 a good price for said motorcycle? The man who is going to sell it to me claims it has no mechanical issues, runs fine, but does have some small scuffs on the side from being spilled. Worth the money?

Uhh you'd have to really inspect the bike. Check fork ring seals, and suspension, check everything you can think of like the chain and tire wear too... last thing you want is to have to start dumping more money into said cheap bike, right?

exactly, no way

[yungone501]

Spend the extra $$$ and buy a Yamaha...

Forget suzuki, honda, kawi, etc...

[Twist]

Suzuki is best. I have owned all of the above, and a ducati, and suzuki is the best.

hondas are alot more durable

hondas are alot more durable

so is a Toyota over a Ferrari but i'd still want the Ferrari

Great point.

Suzuki would be my second choice.

Honda my last.

Kawi is just lost in the woods somewhere...

And Ducati...only if i had money to blow.

Honda's are shit when they go down. It's like they are designed to take the maximum damage with least impact. Ducati was the worst bike I've owned (even with the infrared video camera, hand warmers, and cruise control).

Suzuki puts the rest to shame. I do like Honda though. All the top bikes are about the same now and I think yamaha has the best styling but I haven't been keeping up with the new stuff. I like naked bikes now and there was a ktm naked bike that looked bad ass.

thats what crash mushrooms are for.

suz's are an epic fail on afew things, paint is like 0.00001mm thick, plastics are flimsy and they dont have the legendary honda reliability. ducatis are like everything else italian, beautiful but no fvcking brains lol.

as you say, all the big bikes are pretty much the same nowadays, hondas build quality and reliability shades them ahead in my book

[oscarjones]

I am an R6 freak. Best bike in my book. Got to love Yamaha.

[yungone501]

Got to love Yamaha.

I believe this was the 11th commandement.

kid on my block just got a bike, i can't wait until the squid eats shit

if you like dodgy gearboxes that might just try to kill you..........

Damn you're all recommending different shit... but it's the cheapest thing i can find around that isn't a faggot little 250 ninja

honda's equivalent here in europe is the 600 hornet, im not trying to big up honda but they usually sell alittle cheaper 2nd hand than bandits (these go alittle higher due to their street fighter potential) and are a slightly de-tuned cbr600 engine

[MastaMan]

Yeahh some dude was trying to sell me a crashed cbr with no title for 400. But earlier this week i found some guy selling a 2002 gsf1200 bandit 50,000 miles for $1700

[MastaMan]

it's got alot less cool pant job though haha
