Motorcycle specifications SuzukiGSF 1250 Bandit S 2013 The age of reason

Naked

a great page has been turned for Suzuki engines. With this 1250, the big Bandit has said good-bye to the famous air- and oil-cooled SACS engine. This engine, installed in '96, was derived from the 1100 on the GSX-R of... 1986. Since 2007, and the passing of Euro 3 standards, the GSF 1200 has gone up in displacement and, above all, has adopted liquid cooling and fuel injection. A new stage for Bandits.

98 cm3 more. With this increase in displacement, the block rises to 1255 cm3 by increasing the stroke of the pistons. With the help of fuel injection and a 6-speed gearbox, the 4-cylinder will certainly be even fuller and more powerful at all engine speeds. It's also cleaner, thanks to its catalyzed exhaust air injection system.

This liquid engine is THE big change to the Bandit since 2007. As for the rest, the bike remains virtually unchanged. Same design (except for the engine fins, which have disappeared), same chassis, same geometry. Weight has increased by 10 kgs, attributable to the engine and frame. The frame's tubes have increased in diameter, for the benefit of rigidity, which has risen by 10%. The Bandit gains weight and cm3, its seat (adjustable to 790 or 810 mm) is raised by 5 mm; and on the rev side, the fuel tank is reduced by one liter. ABS is fitted as standard.

French Bandit66 Model 2010
I went from a CBF 600 to a Bandit 1250S ABS in 2010 and 35,000 kms, what a change. The torque and acceleration are pure pleasure, and it even revs up from 1500 rpm. Heavy when stationary, especially with two on top, once underway it's easy to handle, and it's a rail, even in mountain curves. Two minor faults for me, its fuel consumption and lighting, but it's a 2010 model. I've fitted it with heated grips, a top case and panniers, and it's ready to make the North Cape next summer. A big "V" to you all, ride safe. Rating : 4/5

Pascal yes, this is a great bike, a little heavy, but very pleasant from the first gears, the engine is smooth and has good torque, so it's a weak point perhaps. Rating : 4/5

J'ADORE !!! motard de 60 balais j'ai acheté un 1250 bandit s en début d'année après plusieurs autre bécane dont la dernière un 1300XJR de 2000 . je la trouve moins "pataude" et plus explosive que la yam , consomation +ou- 5 liters , je roule cool mais souvent avec ma passagère et plutôt chargé mais le moins possible d'autoroute... j'ai trouvé la prise en main facile , et quelle patate !i've just fitted it with GIVi panniers, and I think it's a good bike for WE and road trips, and a bit of an adventure on the side! and finally, 3000 € for a second-hand bike with 32500 km! not everyone wants or can afford 15 or 20 000 €, so no abs, shifter etc etc, you just have to drive it! learn to proportion your brakes and throttle!...it's not so hard!

i've just swapped my old 1999 BMW gs1150 for a second-hand 2008 bandit with 20,000 km.WAOUH it pushes hard, it's heavy but well-balanced and it stays on the rails wherever you place it - a real treat for the 66-year-old biker. I've just added hand protectors, a high bubble and a 12V socket. fuel consumption between 5 and 6l depending on the route and the mood of the day. bonne route et V à tous. Rating : 5/5

Hello everyone,
I drive a 2009 1250 S with 15,000 km
Ex: at 60 km/h in 3rd gear it vibrates and has trouble starting, so I have to go down to 2nd gear
And it has trouble getting up to 8,000 rpm
Do you have any advice for me?

I bought a 2007 Bandit 1250S, far from being my 1st motorcycle. At 60, I've finally found the ideal bike: torque, engine flexibility, acceleration, aesthetics - it's all there. What's more, it's one of the few motorcycles with so much potential that you can keep up with the imitation gears without doing too much to yourself, because the pleasure of riding it doesn't lie in excess. In excess. Bonne route à tous !.... Rating : 5/5

Hello imothep,
D\'après certains bidouilleurs, on peut monter à 150 cv.
Already, with 100hp, it's enough on the road. I only pushed the machine once on the autobahn, and not for too long in Germany (not to be done in Belgium, given the shitty state of the freeways), to see if I could keep it in the red zone. At 8,000 revs, you reach 235km/h. That was enough for me.
I prefer to drive more or less within the speed limits. Respect for other road users and for my old carcass. No spare parts for my old bones, alas! By changing the electronic board, I'm told you can get up to 200 hp.
But the frame and shocks would have to be modified for greater rigidity. Add a turbo, rebalance the crankshaft etc... You'd need a top-notch team of mechanics. What's more, I don't know if this is allowed by law or by insurance companies, probably not.
Remember that there are only two categories of motorcyclists. Crazy bikers and old bikers. I haven't found any crazy old bikers among my acquaintances.

French IMOTHEP Model 2014
i have a 2014 1250 S, registered in 2015, brand new bike.
After a rigorous break-in period, I'm making the most of this machine's impressive torque. I find it comfortable despite the heavy weight of the biker. Fortunately, it needs to be refueled "often" to relax the buttocks.
As for speed, at 130, it's perfect, it doesn't move, and in curves it follows, with extra ABS braking.
A little speeding, it pushes hard and fast, but never reaches the red zone.
A gear indicator is missing, which is my only complaint at the moment.
Happy biker on an excellent value-for-money machine.

Model 1250S, with ABS, very pleasant to ride, original bubble not disturbing at sustained speed (170-180), comfortable seat, perfect riding position, even on long distances,
effective braking, ABS plays its role perfectly. lacks a gear indicator.

The pleasure with this bike is to be able to configure it as you like.
Small frame, 1m63, I changed the upholstery, thanks to topsellerie who did a great job. The gel saddle spares my buttocks after 600km in one go. I was given the opportunity to lower the height of the machine by changing the triangulation of the central shock absorber. I fitted a lower fairing and changed the original bulb with a xenon one, so that cars would see me coming between the lanes. On a German website, I found a kit to adapt a drive belt instead of a chain. You have to tinker a bit with the system, but it's easily done. The ride is very smooth. The original bubble isn't great, so replace it with a bubble with a spoiler. Adapt a top case and suitcases for cruising with the lady. No starting problems, the abs brakes are more than sufficient if you don't drive like a madman. Being 62, I hope it will last at least another ten years. The old wreck that I've become will have a hard time getting it out of the garage. Then we'll see...

I have a 2007 model that I really like, to the point of not wanting to change it, but I deplore the fuel consumption: 7.2 liters on average in town
Before the last overhaul, I was closer to 6.5 liters. According to the dealer, the 95-E10 fuel is to blame. But even switching to 98 doesn't make any difference
Hence my need to know if other users have this problem of over-consumption (I consume less with my diesel car)

I have the same problem when driving on the throttle. It's a pain in tight corners.
What's more, my fuel consumption in town is 7.2 instead of the usual 6.5 since the last service.
I wonder if the dealer hasn't changed mechanics.

You obviously don't know the bandits Philou, they're not bridled. And 230kmh is indicative but close to reality in terms of chrono speed for a motorcycle of around 100hp. On the other hand, up to a good 200kmh, the bandit won't be picked off by a hayabusa. Rating : 5/5

Top marks for the best value for money on the market. This motorcycle is still in the catalog, so make the most of it. Despite the impression of heaviness at standstill, it's about the same weight as a more expensive Honda 1000cbf with a less sensational engine. I've had the bandit1200 and I have to say that it's one of the best bikes I've ever owned; easy to handle and quite agile as soon as you're on the move, its very civilized engine allows you to ride on a trickle of throttle or to send some big stuff if you feel like it, very big stuff, with or without a passenger. Everything about this bike is good, there's nothing to complain about for the price, and if you want a big, versatile road bike (with a few accessories?), this one will more than do the trick.

French torque Model 2007
Mine has 5500 kms on the clock (S with abs) and I think it's a very good bike

Fuel consumption in quiet conditions and when riding in and around town varies between 7 and 7.5 liters per cent

I'd have liked the fuel tank to be a bit bigger, so that I'd have to make a few less trips to the gas station

I fitted a high bubble and a top case

What's really nice is that the engine never struggles, whether you're alone or with a partner, and that's without ever having to rev it up, as the torque is available very early on (3500 rpm)

Unbeatable value for money to date
