2006 Suzuki GSF 650 Bandit SAK5 in Candy Napoleon Blue, 13911 miles, in excellent condition.
The 2006 Suzuki GSF 650 Bandit (model code SAK5) marked a key evolution in Suzuki’s middleweight lineup, offering improved refinement and versatility over its predecessor. Powered by an air/oil-cooled inline-four engine derived from the GSX-F series, the Bandit 650 delivered smooth, predictable performance ideal for both commuting and spirited weekend riding. The half-faired “S” version provided better wind protection for longer journeys, while retaining the classic Bandit blend of comfort, balance, and muscular styling that made it a favourite among riders seeking an affordable, do-it-all motorcycle.
Suzuki’s focus on usability was evident in the adjustable seat height and suspension, allowing the bike to suit a wide range of riders. Its steel-tube cradle frame ensured stability and durability, while the redesigned carburetted engine provided improved torque across the rev range. The Bandit 650 SAK5 also featured dual front disc brakes for reliable stopping power and a comfortable upright riding position, making it as suitable for touring as it was for daily use. Durable, practical, and with a hint of sportiness, the 2006 Bandit 650 S remained one of the most well-rounded middleweights of its era.
