Suzuki Bandit GSF600Â History
If you were biking in the 1990s or 2000s then the chances are you have ridden a Bandit 600 or you know someone who has. They are as reliable as a sundial and were the staple of many a DAS motorcycle training school. The oil-cooled 599cc engine is about the only difference when compared to the Bandit 1200.
It’s an easy to use, no-frills motorcycle that does what it says on the tin.
The bike ran from 1996 to 2005 with barely any changes. Then Suzuki upped the capacity to 656cc and called it the Bandit 650. The 650 had sharper styling but the same budget-bike ethos. It’s a decent budget bike, nuff said.

Suzuki Bandit GSF600Â Stock Tyres
The original Bandit 600 came fitted with Bridgestone Exedra G602 tyres, these are no longer in production and are so old, you definitely wouldn’t want to be riding around on them even if you could find a pair.
The later Bandit 650 came on Bridgestone BT-011 tyres and these too are long since retired.
Suzuki Bandit GSF600Â Best Tyres
Bandit 600 owners don’t tend to want the latest greatest tyre. They choose tyres that are second tier. By that we mean tyres that offer good grip in all conditions, good wear rate and the number one factor is that they’re the best value for money, so they tend to be slightly older tyres or the budget tyres in a manufacturer’s range. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Here are some good recommendations:

Normal Motorcycle: F 36psi, R 42psi

Are your tyre pressures letting you down?
We couldn’t find a tyre pressure gauge that was well-built, easy to get on-and-off the valve without pressure loss and could stand up to day-to-day abuse in our workshop. So we found a manufacturer to build one to our exacting standards.
We’re confident this is the best motorcycle pressure gauge out there. That’s why it comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense, money back guarantee.
