The half-faired Bandit 1200S with anti-lock brakes, built around the relaxed 98 hp air/oil-cooled four with four carburettors. Reviewers noted an easy power delivery, smooth clutch and precise gearbox, with an upright riding position that suits both city riding and touring. Vibration through the pegs and a firm seat can tire riders on long highway runs.
