Just bought my Bandit.. 99 B12

[amgraham]

It's a 1999 Suzuki Bandit S1200 in dark green metallic.  It has almost 16K miles on it and I think I got a pretty killer deal on it.  It's a 2 owner, garage kept.  Original owner bought it new in TX and sold it to the guy I bought it from a month ago.  He bought it to commute with but said he decided he needed to haul more stuff back and forth to work than he could fit on a bike.

This thing has been meticulously maintained.  Every drop of gas ever put in this bike is written down in a notebook.  All maintenance and parts receipts are there as well as the original bill of sale and brochure from when he bought the bike new.  It is bone stock save for a Givi 45 hard case and rack, Suzuki gel seat, Piaa bulb, driving lights, leds, Suzuki case guards, and a touring windshield.  I also got the extension for the touring shield, stock shield, 2 nice tank bags, tank bra, and the stock seat.  It has fairly new looking Bridgestones on it.  Oh man I'm stoked  :P .

Here's some crappy night pics and garage pics until I can get some in the daylight (the green is a lot darker in person BTW):

That's not one one of the factory oil-burners.  IIRC, those were from 01 and part of 02.

Congratulations and yes welcome aboard, the bike does look clean and well kept with some functional accessories to boot.
  I have seen some great deals myself lately but for me it all comes down to need and I already have the B1250. But it seem that there have been some very tempting deals out there lately. What did you pay for it, if I may be so bold?

Yeah, I haven't run it long enough to tell, although it was a little low when I got it.  But, I also understand it was only the 01-02s that had that problem.  I have no smoke or anything like that.

Thanks man.  Since I'm probably going to hold onto it for awhile I don't mind saying.. I paid $3200 as it sits.

I'd swap out those mirrors for some Black aerodynamic shaped ones........unless you like those.

Thanks for the clarification on the oil burning issue Pitter.

What's the best source for some of those?  I don't mind the round mirrors but I'm having the classic problem of seeing elbows and not much useful out of them

I don't personally have a source...but I'm sure some other members do or you can try e-bay.
