I noticed the Brits have gotten the Bandit Holiday, except they're calling it the Bandit GT.

Other than the bags and the ABS, any other differences between this and a standard B12?

Not much but the cosmetics, except I'm now noticing that the Brit version varies from the Austrian version I posted awhile back. No winglet or case guards on the Brit version. No tinted screen, either.

The Austrian version doesn't have the belly pan.

Good lookin' bike, though, as sport tourers go, don't you think?

I read somewhere today online that Bandits in general would be out of Suzuki's lineup for the '08 model year, being replaced by 2 or more GSR models.

We've also had an "exclusive" this week from the the Brit MCN paper that the 07 Bandit is going to be similar looking to the 06 but with a 1250 watercooled engine

They have been known to get it wrong a few times though

Sporty and yet clunky at the same time!

A set of GIVI luggage would look just as good I think!!!
