SUZUKI GSX-1250FA (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, Suzuki released the GSX-1250FA, one of the nicest all-rounder sports bikes ever produced by Suzuki, and it showed that in a way that lacked any modesty.

The bike was derived from the old Bandit platform but took things to the next level with modern technologies and a new way of playing the street game. The full fairing introduced an aggressive look and better weather protection added to the rewarding riding experience.

The bike featured a classic tube frame chassis that balanced sporty handling and highway cruising comfort, dressed in a fully functional fairing with vertically stacked headlights. The contoured seat was 20 mm vertically adjustable for more comfort by flipping over the mounting spacers between the seat and frame seat rails.

The 2012 Suzuki GSX-1250FA packed a 1255cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection for smooth power delivery and Suzuki Idle Speed Control (ISC) that improved cold starting and stabilized the engine idle in various conditions.

The bike was powered by a compact engine that delivered an output power of 95 hp at 7,500 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 3,500 rpm, sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission.

For braking power, the bike packed two 310 mm discs with six-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 130 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel.
