To buy or not to buy, that is the question.

Some of you may have noticed shops like PS are doing run outs on Bandit 1200s for about $10490 + orc. I owned 2 Bandit 250s while on restrictions, but moved up to a YZF600 Thundercat.

A few questions to the learned masses here.
1) I have noticed they list a K3 and a K5 model in various insurance online quote things. Im assuming the K5 is the blue and white anniversary model?

2) The K3, and im guess the K5 are still Carbied?

3) I've also noticed the Bandit 1200 no longer listed on the US Suzuki website. No longer produced?

Thanks for your time guys.

1) K3 = 2003 model, K5 = 2005 model. In the USA, all K5's are the blue & white scheme, other markets may or may not have this color and may or may not have other colors.

2) Yes... as is the K6 (3rd Generation)

3) For 2006, the Bandit is no longer imported to the USA. It's still in plenty of other markets.

There is a nice K5 model in black sitting in the showroom of my local bike store.

Yes indeed they are still carbied.

I'd be snapping one up at that price.  I paid 11,999 + orc in 2002 for mine.  

And no I didn't notice, my so called Suzuki dealer doesn't believe in stocking Suzuki's, only Hondas, KTM's and Ducati's........
