Suzuki Bandit 1250 Street-Fighter Special Edition

The Suzuki Bandit has returned to its hardcore roots this autumn with the introduction of the Bandit 1250 Street-fighter special edition.

Based on the new for 2007 big-bore naked Bandit, the special edition features traditional street-fighter cross-braced Renthal handlebars, a Yoshimura silencer and a single seat cowling for the recommended retail price of just £5,499.

Talking about the new model, Suzuki GB’s Paul de Lusignan commented, “The Bandit is one of the few product ranges in motorcycling that has evolved and captured new audiences over the years. With the ultra-torquey 1250 motor, the naked Bandit returns to its origins offering great naked performance at unbeatable value”.

The Bandit 1250 Street-fighter is available for a limited period only from authorised Suzuki dealers.

Suzuki Biplane Concept

The Suzuki Biplane motorcycle that was on display at the Tokyo Auto Show was inspired design-wise by the classic Wright Brothers biplane, but I personally think it looks more like that red mean machine that Akira rode in the groundbreaking anime by Katsuhiro Otomo. Will there be secret wings hidden inside this beast? Probably not, but chances are you'll be able to fly in this thing and put just about any other vehicle on the road to shame with your speed.
