Suzuki Bandit 650
The Suzuki Bandit 650 has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 78 hp and weighs 209 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Suzuki GSF650 Bandit se presentó en 2005 como sucesora de la GSF600 Bandit, con un motor revisado de cuatro cilindros en línea de 656 cc derivado de la plataforma SV650. Se ofrecía tanto en la versión desnuda (N) como en la versión carenada (S), y recibió una importante actualización en 2007 con la inyección de combustible que sustituyó a la configuración con carburador. La Bandit 650 se hizo popular como una motocicleta de peso medio versátil y accesible, elogiada por su fiabilidad, cómoda ergonomía y excelente relación calidad-precio.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Proven Reliable Engine
The 650cc inline-4 engine is derived from Suzuki's long-running GSF series, known for exceptional longevity with proper maintenance. Many examples exceed 60,000+ miles without major engine work.
Watch the Carbs/Fuel System
Carbureted models (pre-2007) are prone to gummed-up carburetors if left sitting, so always check for smooth throttle response and clean idle. Fuel-injected S models have far fewer issues in this area.
Strong Resale Value
The Bandit 650 holds its value well due to its reputation as a bulletproof beginner-to-intermediate bike with low running costs. Its versatility as a commuter and weekend tourer keeps demand consistently high.
Generaciones y especificaciones por año
Presentado como GSF650, motor de cuatro cilindros en línea, variante S desnuda y con carenado, en sustitución del Bandit 600.
"El bandido sensato creció sin perder su alma."
Suzuki sustituyó la antigua 600 por una unidad DOHC adecuada y la diferencia es evidente de inmediato: esta cosa se mueve limpiamente a partir de 3000 rpm y no parece que esté jadeando hasta que se alcanzan las 10 000. He pilotado una consecutiva con una 600 y el nuevo motor parece realmente moderno, no un motor provisional. La ergonomía es un verdadero punto óptimo: lo suficientemente erguida para viajes de dos horas al trabajo, lo suficientemente plegada como para que no sientas que estás navegando en la autopista. Lo que más me molesta es la suspensión: es blanda tanto en la parte delantera como en la trasera, y si pesas cerca de los 85 kg, querrás ordenar los muelles antes de dedicarte a cualquier actividad apasionante.
Pros
Contras
Estilo revisado, inyección de combustible añadida, chasis actualizado, frenos mejorados, opción de ABS introducida en la variante S.
"La elección sensata que nunca deja de sorprenderte."
La inyección de combustible solucionó los problemas de arranque en frío del viejo Carb Bandit y le dio al 656 una respuesta del acelerador nítida y predecible que facilita enormemente el filtrado por el tráfico urbano: este motor arranca con fuerza desde las 4.000 rpm y no se detiene hasta la línea roja, que cubre prácticamente todo lo que realmente necesitas. El chasis revisado parece más firme que el de la Gen 1 en las barredoras rápidas, y los frenos (dos discos en la parte delantera) por fin tienen la fuerza suficiente para adaptarse al ritmo que te encuentras marcando. Sin embargo, los puntos débiles son reales: el asiento de serie se convierte en una plancha al cabo de dos horas, los retrovisores vibran y se vuelven inútiles a una velocidad superior a los 130 km/h y 209 kg significa que las maniobras de aparcamiento a baja velocidad exigen respeto. No es tan emocionante como lo es un 600 supersport, pero es honesto, duradero y barato de asegurar: recorrí 40 000 km y cambié una cadena, dos neumáticos y poco más.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The unglamorous, sensible choice that rarely lets you down."
$2,500-$5,000 usedThe Bandit 650 is one of those bikes that just makes sense. Suzuki's inline-four is genuinely bulletproof if it's been serviced — these things will run past 80,000 miles without complaint if the previous owner wasn't a complete idiot about oil changes. The naked 650 hits a sweet spot between learner-friendly and genuinely entertaining, with enough midrange torque to feel punchy in traffic without terrorizing you on the highway. That said, go in with your eyes open on a used example. Check the frame around the headstock for stress cracks — they're rare but they happen. The fuel pump on earlier models can get lazy, so ask about starting reliability when cold. Forks are soft from the factory and most owners never upgraded them, so expect wallowing if you push hard. Budget for fork springs and fresh fluid immediately. Overall, it's honest, capable, and parts are everywhere. You're not buying prestige, you're buying reliability — and for a used middleweight, that's a damn good trade.
