Suzuki led the way with the Bandit back in 1996, proving that this is the original street classic. Now the new 2007 model comes in with a host of changes. The bike now features a new liquid-cooled 1250cc engine with high-tech fuel-injection to keep it where it’s always been, at the front of the line for big-bore urban bruisers.
