how about compare it to Suzuki Bandit 1250SA? The bandit weighs less, more nimble and fun. Of course it can't compare to FJR for power. I own both and enjoy both every minute.
Bandit 1200 and Bandit 1250, same HP, maybe a few ponies different.how about compare it to Suzuki Bandit 1250SA? The bandit weighs less, more nimble and fun. Of course it can't compare to FJR for power. I own both and enjoy both every minute.
Bill. Please explain. I don't understand the concept of "Too many bikes."My 1999 Bandit was one of the best bikes I've owned. Sold it after I bought the FJR...Too many bikes in the garage. Wow those new prices are shocking. I bought mine new $7000 out the door for last years model. With about $400 of simple mods my B12 had about the same acceleration performance as my 09 FJR. The Bandit was more nimble and fun. The FJR more comfortable and adept for long range camping trips and plenty of power. If I wasn't into long trips, I'd go for the Bandit hands down. Bill
Actually Gar the Bandit has had EFI since 2007.3 years ago, I looked at the Bandits, as I owned a 91 Suzuki GSX1100G before I got the FJR. I looked long and hard at what Suzuki had to offer. I looked at the chain drive, the carburetors, the marginal fairings, the odd ball styling.

Curious, what didn't you like about the styling? I think it looked a lot like a first gen FZ1 and it was mistaken for that a few times from people who commented on it.
