Hi from West Yorkshire!

I traded my 1250 bandit in for a new m800 the deals done but I dont pick it up for another 3 weeks .. bummer, but it will soon fly I suppose.

Found this site it looks good and the workshop manual downloads is a nice touch!

Once I take delivery of it you will seem more of me I reckon!


Daves the name bikings the game :)

Welcome 12watchfor to suzuki800.com, glad to have you on board
Great choice the M800, lovely bike and what a looker. 3 weeks until pickup, man I bet thats hurting.

Hi and welcome to the site hope you enjoy your M800 when you get it. I'm sure you will

Always good to say hello to someone new, your in good company

I ride a Bandit 650 and a C800 - very different riding positions and styles. I do feel a bit 'invisible' when I park up on the Bandit but the Intruder gets quite a bit of attention. Bet the 1250 was nice but the M800 will be nicer in a different way - looking forward to hearing about your experiences when you get the bike. Patience is a virtue but I aint got any - I can't wait for anything so you're bound to do better than me!!

Thanks peeps! only another 22 days to go :(

Down to 11 days, bloody hell even I'm excited for you

Yep 11 days to go! what am I going to do till then? how should I run it in? by the method on this site i.e thrash it for the first 20 miles? goes against the grain but I can see some sense in it.

What oil to use? synthetic or semi synthetic or just plain old mineral oil till it gets broke in?


Decisions decisions!! cant wait now!

Bloody Hell even I ain't brave enough to lead the proverbial horse on that one!
Mineral oil is a must for the break-in period as a synthetic will not allow the break-in to happen but that's as far as I would ever advise on this subject, it's too controversial!
I will start a thread on this one, just to see what others are prepared to say or have done

Well the last 11 have flown by, well for me at least. I hope the next 11 go just as fast

It has passed pretty quick so far, but then Ive had my daughters wedding to take my mind off things so now its gonna drag :(

Im borrowing my sons old Y reg Ducati Monster at the moment but my god its an uncomfortable beast! cant wait to get the Suzook now! dont want to keep riding the bandit as I am clocking too many miles up on her so shes in the garage now till the deal is completed.

Oh no, are you going to be able to afford to put petrol in. Maybe we could have a whip round

Welcome to the board. Lots to see.

Ahhh... I loved my Ducati Monster ... it was the 750 version.
You will be pleased with the Suzi though.

Not long now.

Yep only a week to go!! Ive just removed the rack and top box and the hugger on the Bandit, given it a last wash, so its ready to go! Maybe I will get a call from them to say its ready before next Monday! heres hoping anyway!

Bet your counting the hours now rather than days

3 sleeps till happy bike day

Hey I just realised it's Monday eve, eve, eve today

Got it insured now from 12 noon monday ready to ride away! looking forward to it now its been a long wait!

Hope the weather's good for collection day.
