presentation of the GSF 1250 Bandit S 2017

Take a good look at this Bandit! Think of it as a monument... bidding farewell. The chapter of the GSF dynasty comes to an end, and Suzuki owes it so much. The story of the 1200 Bandit began in '96 with a machine full of spirit, character and affordable pricing. The bike quickly established itself as a must-have on the market. The Suzuki Bandit is like a TV or a microwave oven. It feels like it's been around forever, so much so that you don't even notice it anymore. But when they arrived on the market, each of these machines shook up its environment so much that everyone in the office and at the counter went wild.
Although its career is becoming increasingly discrete (and is coming to an end with Euro4), the big GSF, which has only been available in S version for a few years, was given a little facelift in 2015. To keep up with the times? No, simply to continue to please.

let me tell you right away, only the fork head had changed. Double-cradle tubular steel chassis, big 1255 cm3 4-cylinder, classic chassis with 41 mm fork and monoshock - functional without fuss, just waiting to be ridden, with power and torque that are linear but present and always responsive. So, let's see what the bow appendage has to offer for this umpteenth turn of the GSF 1250.
Equipped with two small dummy air intake ports, the fork head takes on a timid and symbolic GSX-R look. Once the sporty thrill has passed, we discover that the face extends down the sides. Suzuki announces improved protection and aerodynamics.

not enough to put the Bandit 1250 in the pantheon of roadsters, just enough to refresh it a little. Suz has also soberly worked on the fuel injection to make the engine a little smoother and more pleasant. Apart from its kindness and plebeian technology, the GSF 1250 S has no real complaints. Equipped with ABS, a center stand, a two-height adjustable seat, an uncritical riding position and everyday availability, it still commands a bargain price for such a displacement.

L'élastique

Ghis Model 2016

Super-torque engine, a real rubber band from 2000 rpm. Handy, not too badly finished, abs safe, this Suzuki Gsx1250 is the best value bike. Too bad Suzuki stopped production in 2018. A few minor faults, however: a gear indicator is missing, the mirrors are half in the shoulders, the position is ideal for people of normal height (1m65 to 1m85), but for taller people over 1m90 I think the legs will be too bent and I'm sure some will look like toads on this bike. Torque is very present on the 1250, so count on 4,000 km for a rear tire (we like to play with torque) versus 8,000 km for the front. 05/22/2018 11:34 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Ghis

Une bonne bécane

Gmulot Model 2016

Super-torquey engine, solo and duo appreciated for saddle comfort, machine a little heavy at standstill and becomes clumsy when accelerating in curves, it's an all-rounder above all, a good tourer. Beware of side-swiping, though; it only takes one false flat for it to want to go to ground... I barely caught her once. In any case, I don't think there's anything better in terms of quality/price/pleasure. For those looking for more fun in the category, look no further than the Kawa z1000sx. In any case, for my part, I'm happy with this machine, the only fly in the ointment being its fuel consumption, which gives a range of around 200/220 km... 03/04/2018 13:18 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Gmulot

Pascal_du62 Model 2015

It's not a sports bike - that's all been said in tests and other comparisons. It's a great mill for those who like to wind without playing with the gearbox. I find it rather pretty, perhaps a little all-purpose, a bike that doesn't resemble the new machines with their more than dubious and horrible aesthetics... For me, it's my next purchase!

jpierre

slt Pascal, did you buy the new suz when do you think? I'm tempted by this machine but what's holding me back is the consumption, I do 550 km with mine solo

I wanted to change after 4 years of good service of my 650 DL, I tried this morning a 1250s and I was immediately excited by this bike, great engine with torque so I bought it is 2015, suzuki no worries for the trade-in v-strom 11/03/2015 18:10 Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation

IMOTHEP85630

Difficult to do more than 190 km on a full tank. Very pleasant to drive, heavy at standstill.
Lots of torque. Great value for money. 08/10/2016 17:03 Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation

marco76 Model 2015

What a shame to have changed so little! All that was needed was to add real brakes, a lighter frame and a modern exhaust, and you'd be off to a flying start, just as you were in 2007, without touching the super-engine (well, a few more horsepower at the top of the rev counter, anyway). The Bandit 1250 deserved better than this sprinkling, and the price isn't all that steep considering the damping... 04/02/2015 01:03 Rating : 1/5 Respond to marco76
