    Rather nice Bandit 1250 mods available

    http://www.mcnews.com.au/Testing/Suz...1250_Tuned.htm

    Now take one standard Suzuki Bandit 1250, add Yoshimura camshafts and muffler, along with some airbox trimming and Power Commander fettling by master tuner Phil Tainton, and the result equals major grunt!

    The standard bike is good for 103hp @ 8500rpm and 82Nm of torque at 6000rpm. A few hours at Phil Tainton’s PTR workshop and $2500 later sees the Bandit emerge with a more responsive and eager 136hp @ 8000rpm and 103Nm of torque at 7500rpm. An impressive 30 per cent improvement and the engine is much snappier in response to the throttle but remains easily tamed and never threatening.

    I so want!!!! I have a freeflow pipe (Leo Vince SBK) on my 1250 but the Power Commander and Yoshi camshafts may have to be seriously looked at, closely followed by some serious suspension work.

    Damn. I may have to sell the RF900R at this rate...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Do your suspension before you do that!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I am inherently suspicious of technical threads that get technical data wrong. In this case, very wrong. The horsepower peak for a standard Bandit 1250 is 97 brake at 7,500rpm and the torque peak is at 3,750rpm.
