The half-faired motorcycle from Suzuki,
the Bandit GSF 650S, has been dropped from the motorcycle
manufacturer’s portfolio for the UK. A spokesman from Suzuki confirmed
to Visordown that this decision was taken to streamline the mid-capacity segment of motorcycles offered by them.
The retraction of the GSF650S from Suzuki’s line-up means bringing the Bandit series in the UK to an end. The Bandit 1250 was also a part of the Bandit series before but now is only seen as the fully-faired motorcycle, the GSX1250F there. The 650cc V-twin engine will however survive without the ‘Bandit’ badging and will be seen in the SFV650. Dropping the Bandit GSF650S was mainly to simplify the current mid-capacity segment of Suzuki motorcycles which comprise the naked SFV650, half-faired SV650S and the fully-faired GSX650F.
