Hey Gang,
I'm posting from Australia, where the all new shape Bandit 1200 is about a month away from arival. Are they out in other places around the world? Just wondering if people/magazines would have ridden the new bike yet in other countries?
Thanks,
Russ.

No Bandits for us in the USA, Suzuki didn't put 'em on the boat. Sales had slowed here and I think theres a lot of '04s and '05s laying around still. Post a pic when they're available.

You can always come to Canada and ship one down.....we're not that far north.

I ordered an 06 1200sa in early February. Dealer says they are to arrive sometime in April. I will post some pics when I take delivery. There some good photos on Suzuki's UK site. "http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/downloads.asp?id=57&c=&m=107&l="

Cycle World had a write up on the 650 bandit a a few months ago. (They borrowed the bike from a Canadian dealer) They did not have much new to report.

The 1200 is in showrooms here now.

Still waiting for release of 06 model here in New Zealand. Have had one ordered for last couple of months. Had e-mail from Suzuki New Zealand last week saying dealers should have them at end of March. Can't wait
