Dont know if its still on the go but Old School Suzuki forum some bloke did a write up with 100's of pictures when he put a bandit 600 into an old GS550. Beefed up suspension and brakes. It looked bloody lovely.Bustaspoke wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2026 9:26 pm This was at the local bike night earlier.
It's the first time I've seen a Bandit motor in a Honda

I don't think there's anyone who hasn't seen his Viper engined bike, but I never thought he'd sell it!
Anyone fancy it?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I really like that. Any ideas on specs, such as wet weight? It should be really light.

Well it's a while since I saw any Krauser panniers so that's interesting enough for me.Newbie73 wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2026 8:42 am Saw this in in Eindhoven - not sure if it is classed as "Interesting"
(Krauser don't exist any more apart from as a brand name owned by Hepco and Becker - who sells spares and ONS. I think they were THE luggage if choice not that long ago).
The bike looks pretty mint too.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
