Why does my Suzuki Bandit 1200 have rust on it?
Bandits are reasonably well finished and aside from a bit of corrosion here and there and the well-known exhaust rust the main issue with early Bandits comes from the wiring loom, which can rub and wear through, leading to electrical problems. The steel frame can rust in small areas if the paint is chipped but that’s not really Suzuki’s fault.
