2002 b6 but old shape???? why, how and what now?

[banditmack]

I just bought a uk 2002 bandit and then realised it's the old shape after looking of the internet. All seem genuine as far as paperwork for the bike but dont understand how this could be.

Have I been ripped off?

I have a gsf 600 X, if this helps. I have looked on the internet and they stopped making this shape 99-2000 i think.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!

If you get the VIN number off the frame & take it into a Suzuki Dealer they can tell you the year.

If your Bandit is the old style look and 600 cc's it is a 1999 or earlier.

If your Bandit is the old style look and is a 1200 it is a 2000 or earlier.

The VIN will tell the whole tale.

Something is fouled up! Sounds like it's in the paperwork department.

GSF600SX & GSF600X = 1999 model (last year of the first style)
GSF600SY & GSF600Y = 2000 model (first year of second style)
GSF600SK1 & GSF600K1 = 2001 model
GSF600SK2 & GSF600K2 = 2002 model

Perhaps  you noticed they were carrying on a pattern, then in 2001 changed to a new pattern since they were close to running out of the earlier one.
