Can a 78,000 mile 14 year old Suzuki Bandit GSF1250S still impress?

I’ve been interested in trying to do reviews of other people’s bikes for a while.

Who wouldn’t? Getting to ride a different bike every now and again. That’s my personal Nirvana!

There's a million reviews and reviewers out there, so I’ve been researching the genre trying to find a way to nail down a format I can call my own.

I wasn’t quite ready to dig the cameras out, however this Suzuki GSF1250S unexpectedly fell in my lap last weekend, when my little KTM 390 Adventure was having a sleepover at Saltire Motorcycles in Edinburgh. Fingers crossed this works!

I’ve always wanted to ride a Suzuki Bandit, but they say, never meet your hero’s. Will I still be impressed with it in 2023???
