Motorcycle specifications SuzukiGSX-F 650 2014 A masked bandit

The GSX-F label, synonymous with sport-GT for the Hammamatsu-based manufacturer, still exists and is discreetly maintained within the Suzuki range. Its latest incarnation dates back to 2008: it's now a 650 that defends this niche...
650, but that's the displacement of the Bandit! Yes, this GSX-F is powered by the modern 4-stroke liquid engine of the latest-generation GSF. But it doesn't stop there. While the 600 and 750 GSX-F had their own chassis and dress, the 650 is really a... Bandit 650 with full fairing. But what a fairing! It doesn't get much more GSX-R than this. The fork head is a virtual copy-paste from the 2005 version of the 1000. Even the typography of the logo mimics that of the sportbike, with a big, bold F in red.
All the qualities of the 650 Bandit are there, with the added protection offered by the new cladding. It's not really a new bike, nor a replacement for the GSX-F, but it does allow Suzuki to offer a versatile and accessible tourer at a very competitive price. The old GSX-F no longer had the heart to fight, powered by an ancient and polluting 4-cylinder air/oil engine, sporting an aging design and sickened by its rivalry with the mythical VFR. "Logically, a 1250 GSX-F should certainly see the light of day within the next few quarters". That's what we said when we released this 650; and bingo, Suzuki did indeed put a GSX 1250 FA on the market in 2010.

For your information, I've got an original engine and Leovince exhausts, just changed the handlebars for wristbands and other cosmetic items

even if I'm more interested in the old model, I wouldn't mind giving the new one a try ;) Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nova
The old GSX-F had its faults and wasn't to everyone's taste, but I liked its mini-Hayabusa look. This one does look a little too Bandit dressed up, and seems a little puny. Yet the weight remains more or less the same
On a positive note, the protection seems satisfactory, especially for the legs, which is not the strong point of its direct competitors, but it's a pity that it has lost its bracelet handlebars for a simple handlebar. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Momolamoto
