2010 Suzuki GSX1250FA Revealed

The Japanese motorcycle manufacturer recently revealed the GSX1250FA at the Bol D’or 24 hour endurance race, in Magny-Cours, France. The bike is in fact based on the engine and chassis of the Bandit 1250S in a sport-touring design.

Designed to compete with Yamaha’s FJR, Kawasaki’s Concours and BMW’s K1300GT, the GSX1250FA is described by Suzuki as a “classic tube-frame chassis, with rake and trail chosen for an excellent balance between sporty handling and highway cruising comfort.”
