The only real gripes I have are the standard seat and very soft front suspension, both these faults have been improved with the 2000 model. Wow cool bike better than people said, I will be doing Faro on it next year. Cluch slip due to wrong oil, use cheap stuff its better. Wash it often use black grate pollish on motor and it will stay looking new. I bought my Bandit new in 1997.
Race can essential.
All stainless fasteners replace rotten Suzuki originals. Build quality generally poor. Goodridge brake hoses mean stoppies at will. Still original brake pads at 18000. Speedo hopelessly optimistic, will go off clock in favourable conditions.
