The Red Bandit

The GSF600 Bandit......

This is my motorcycle, the Suzuki Bandit. It is a 2000 model. It is not the fastest bike on the road by far but it was a fun bike to learn on and is fast enough for me. The difference between my bike and the one pictured is mine has no large fairing in the front. I removed it to give it a more "naked motorcycle" look and feel.
