Call the priest and say a prayer because this wicked thing looks ready to demonize public roads.
When they’re not manufacturing premium aftermarket components, the moto experts over at Tanadit Sarawek’s K-Speed busy themselves with creating some of the juiciest custom bikes you’ll find on Thai soil. I mean, would you just look at the sensational makeover they’ve applied to this 1996 MY Suzuki GSF 600 Bandit?
Dubbed “Diablo,” the machine is adorned with bespoke bodywork and an entrancing selection of bolt-on goodies that keep things looking rad. Before we go into any other details, let’s take a second to inspect the donor’s main specs and features. The Bandit is powered by a twin-cooled 599cc inline-four engine that packs sixteen valves, four Keihin carbs, and a compression ratio of 11.3:1.
By delivering as much as 77 hp and a peak torque output of 40 pound-feet (54 Nm) to a six-speed gearbox, the mill enables Suzuki’s predator to sprint past the quarter-mile mark in 12.4 seconds. Last but not least, its top speed is rated at no less than 129 mph (207 kph).
After Sarawek and his team sketched their vision out on paper, they kicked things off by replacing GSF 600’s stock airbox with a set of free-flowing air filters. On the other end of the combustion cycle, you will find a powder-coated exhaust system that terminates in a tiny muffler from K-Speed's very own inventory.
At the front, the specialists installed a menacing half-fairing, clip-on handlebars, and a mesh-covered LED headlight. Meanwhile, the bike’s rear end sports a single YSS shock absorber and a bespoke subframe, on top of which you’ll spot a svelte tail section and one handsome solo saddle.
K-Speed topped things off with rear-mounted foot pegs and digital instrumentation, as well as a discrete taillight fitted on the left-hand side of the swingarm. Finally, Diablo’s bodywork was enveloped in an ominous coat of red paint and black graphics depicting a lightning bolt motif.
