The hard perennial has been updated
for 2006, everything from the way it looks to the way it handles,
plus there is ABS as standard on the GSF1200SA. The 1157cc
four-cylinder Bandit bike is offered in two versions. The
GSF1200 now has a streamlined cowl between the new dials and
halogen headlights, with streamlined frame covers. The GSF1200SA
has a new wind-tunnel tested half fairing for extra protection,
and the bike is fitted with ABS as standard to avoid any panic
braking problems. Both versions have adjustable seat height,
improved riding positions, and new suspension and swingarms.
Tour, commute, stunt cruise - it's all the same to the new
Bandit.
