Our bike – Suzuki Bandit 600S

We’ve got our hands on a budget Bandit 600S for less than a grand – and have made a handful of changes to make it competition ready. Nothing too wild – but we’ve firmed up the rear brake, shed a little weight where possible, and switched out the bodywork and tank for something we don’t mind taking a bit of a beating. Of course, it needed a little bit of work to get it running sweet. So our resident spanner-man Rob Bean gave the little Bandit a once over to made sure everything was in good working order ahead of Round One.
