Bandit650S/SA Features:

656cm3 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivering a finely tuned balance of power and torque with smooth, refined throttle response.
The Bandit 650S/SA styling keeps the symmetrical layout (center-cam-drive), newly black-finished engine exposed for ready admiration.
The double overhead camshafts act directly on bucket tappets for smooth running and positive valve actuation at high revs.
Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating: promotes heat transfer and ring sealing, reduces blowby and mechanical losses.
Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system effectively enhances smoothness of power delivery.
Automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) system helps maintain stable idle and improves cold starting.
6-speed transmission, with a hydraulic clutch actuation system designed for easy clutch-lever pull.
A sharp new design that's a reflection of the future, headlined by sleeker headlights, newly styled frame covers, a slimmer taillight, newly shaped muffler ends and a newly styled cowling.
Aerodynamically efficient half-fairing with stacked high- and low-beam line-beam headlights plus storage bays for small items on both sides.
Plush front forks with 130mm wheel travel and adjustable spring preload. Single-shock rear suspension with a progressive, rising-rate link system and adjustable rebound damping and spring preload.
Front brakes with 310mm discs and opposed 4-piston calipers; rear brake with a 240mm disc and a dual-piston caliper.
Antilock Braking System (ABS) monitors brake lever input and wheel speed, and matches stopping power to available traction.   (Bandit 650SA only)*.
Newly designed rearview mirrors and turn-signal lights combine great style with function.
The handlebars can be set in either of two positions, which are 10mm away from each other in line with the forks.
The seat height can be raised or lowered by 20mm, using reversible spacers.
The clutch lever and the front brake lever are both 4-way adjustable, moving them closer to or farther from the handlebars.
Analogue tachometer, LCD digital speedometer, fuel gauge and clock, and gear-position and other indicators, all in a sleek housing.

*Please note that ABS is a supplemental device for brake operation, not a device for shortening stopping distance.  Always remember to reduce speed sufficiently before approaching curves, corners and traffic congestion.
