Keep in mind those are probably pics of the JDM model, which has always had bright cases while most other markets got black ones. Though since the 650 now has a black motor, other markets may get bright cases to help separate the looks of the 1200 from the 650.

It looks a hell of a lot nicer in a real photo than those gaudy promo pics:

Well, it looks better than it did on the white background pics, but it really is no improvement over the previous B12. Then again, it's a hell of a lot of bike for the price!

From the Paris show, a couple of accessorized Bandit's - looks like ABS has revisited Banditdom, this time on the 650:

This may have been posted elsewhere.  If so, sorry...  Suzuki US finally updated their web site w/ 06 models.  There are no Bandits on it.

I was just about to post the same thing.
The weird thing is, they're using a shot of a silver B12 as the wallpaper for the page!  :duh:

In reply to Paulvs about the( GS-R) B-king, suzuki are gonna build it don't know if it will go state side but i read in the latest edition of RIDE magazine(November issue there out a month early) that it'll be in 1300/600 engines the 1300 is from the 'busa and the 600 is from the gsxr power is in the region of 140bhp and 100bhp.
It'll have quality suspension, radial brakes and an underseat pipe so RIDE say.
They also say it'll priced at about £8000/£5000.

No new Bandit?  What a disapointment-- I see they are still selling the Katanas, though :?:  :?:

I was also looking at the Kawasaki site and I couldn't find the ZRX1200.

Too bad, those two and the FZ1 were the three I looked at when I was shopping.   :crybaby: could have been happy with any of them.
