Suzuki Bandit 1250 Motorbikes For Sale
What Is It?
The Suzuki Bandit 1250 is a naked or semi-faired bike and is powered by a new Euro 3 compliant liquid cooled 1,255 cc inline four engine, producing 96.6 bhp at 7,500 rpm and maximum torque at just 3,700 rpm.
Features include:
- Steel tubular frame
- Dual 310 mm discs up front with Tokico four piston calipers
- 240 mm disc at the rear with Tokico single piston caliper
- 43 mm fork with pre-load adjustment and 130 mm travel
- Adjustable rear shock with 136 mm travel
- Adjustable seat (785 mm / 805 mm)

Compared to the GSF1200 the engine is a new larger capacity design and now Euro 3 compliant with fuel injection and liquid cooling, however it makes the same power as before just a few hundred RPM further down. Fuel capacity is down one litre but dry weight is up 14 kg.
The semi-faired 1200 S is essentially the same bike but with a mini fairing and screen although it's 3 kg heavier. As before the GT model adds panniers and the top box but now also a lower fairing.
The 3-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and a 180/55 at the rear.
Options include ABS.
- 2007: Black, blue, red
