SUZUKI GSX-1250FA (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

With the release of the GSX-1250FA, Suzuki made the most interesting proposal for those riders who were in search of a sporty all-rounder motorcycle. With the aggressive lines of the Gixxers combined with comfort-focused design, the bike came in a fairing that was both good-looking and functional, as it provided good weather protection at highway speeds.

Underneath the body panels was a 1,255cc fuel-injected engine with plenty of smooth power and acceleration for both city blasts and long highway hauls. In addition, the bike featured a generous fuel tank, an optional luggage system for more touring versatility, and adjustable suspensions that offered excellent road comfort.

The powerplant was tailored for extra-smooth acceleration with peak torque at a low rpm range with Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection for smooth power delivery and lower emissions. The four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivered a power output of 96 hp at 7,500 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm.

The classic tube-frame chassis offered an excellent balance between sporty handling and highway cruising comfort, as well as the preload-adjustable telescopic fork on the front and the seven-way adjustable preload with four-way adjustable rebound link-type suspension on the rear.

For stopping power, the bike packed two 310 mm discs with six-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 240 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel.
