In 2007, the big naked GSF1250 Bandit received a sister with an S suffix in the name. The bike came with a few changes compared to its sibling but with the same newly developed 1250cc engine. So, Hamamatsu crafted a new half-fairing and a front cowl that replaced the round headlight, equipped with a windscreen for better protection against the elements, which made the S model 14 kg (31 lbs) heavier than the GSF1250 Bandit model.
The combination of the fuel injection system with a large catalyst, the Pulsed-AIR (PAIR) system, and a big four-in-one stainless steel muffler reduced the emissions and met the Euro 3 emission regulations.
To achieve engine functionality with fewer vibrations, the engineers installed a balance shaft and fitted the bike with a six-speed transmission to enhance comfort during high-speed cruising. The bike featured standard ABS for a relaxed riding experience when touring or carrying a passenger.
The 2007 Suzuki GSF1250S Bandit packed at its core a 1,254cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 100 hp at 7,500 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) of torque available at 3,500 rpm. The power, combined with a six-speed transmission and a dry weight of 229 kg (505 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 241 kph (150 mph).
