Suzuki GB PLC is pleased to announce the launch of the Street Bandit 650S – a UK only model launched with FREE insurance* that’s perfect for commuter and leisure riders who crave real practicality and value.

With the Bandit 650 already one of the best value bikes in Britain, the Street Bandit goes one step further by combing the impressive ABS braking system with excellent weather protection and a rack with a 45-litre top box, all for the suggested on the road price of £4,665

With a FREE insurance offer running from now until the December 31st 2006, the Street Bandit is a cost effective solution to year-round riding.

Conceiver of the Street Bandit project was Suzuki GB’s sales and marketing director Nick Palmer. "We know how popular the Bandit is amongst commuters and leisure riders, but understand the difficulties in using a standard motorcycle as a practical means of transport", commented Nick. "With the Street Bandit we are able to offer enhanced safety, weather protection and carrying capacity to customers straight out of the showroom".

The Street Bandit is available in blue and black colour schemes from all authorised Suzuki dealers now. Final specification is Bandit 650S with additional 45 litre top-box, carrying rack and tank protector.

* The free Insurance offer is subject to status and is applicable to riders between 21 and 65 years of age and on UK mainland only. Conditions apply.
