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):

Nice lookin' bike.....does it burn oil?

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. :beers:

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 :annoy:

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