Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2006, 2007
In 2007, Suzuki launched the GSF1250 Bandit, a standard motorcycle that retained the naked attire but updated in the aesthetic department with several elements redesigned, which made the bike look more modern.
The shiny metal accents that were still in place added to the aesthetic appeal of the bike, while the chunky front wheel made everything look sportier. Like before, the GSF1250 Bandit was a glorious city slicer and felt equally good on both winding countryside roads and highways.
The 2007 Suzuki GSF1250 bandit came with a newly designed 1,250cc fuel injection engine that met the Euro 3 emission regulations and generated similar power and torque to the previous 1,200cc engine but with the torque available at lower rpm.
The Suzuki engineers installed an auxiliary balance shaft to reduce vibrations and also featured a shorter engine that allowed the installation of a longer swingarm. In addition to the auxiliary balance shaft and the six-speed transmission, Suzuki ensured a relaxed riding experience by installing ABS as a standard option.
The model took its thrust from a 1.254cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed a power output of 100 hp at 7,500 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 3,500 rpm.
With all tricks and tweaks, the bike tipped the scale at 226 kg (498 lbs).
