Suzuki GSF1250 Bandit (2007-current)

I've just bought a 10month old 'streetfighter' K7 1250, its every thing i want from a bike and the torque is unbelieveable- 35 to 150 in 6th??? my previous bike was a 94 (n) triumph speed triple 900cc, i just wanted something newer and did not like the new speed triple- too stubby and don't like one sided swinging arm! 4 grand for a 1250 with 1500 miles, unreal.

I have to be differnt than everybody else. I traded in my 6 year old GSX1400 for the 1250 complete with all the plastic. Is not near as good as teh 1400 and miss teh real oooomph of teh big Suzy. have to live with my mistake now as I lose too much money trying to get rid the new bike. I will look fior another 1400 sometijme in the future.

Well this is my second summer with the 2007-1250 GSF Bandit.Total kms clocked so far is 8000km. Honestly as the reviews stated..."it's a great bang for your buck!" The only complaint is the noisy engine at idle. A friend explained that it may be because of the thin engine walls. He figured if it had the air fins on the engine the noise probably wouldn't be so noticable. As for the power, it's got that! I have gone as high as 286km/hour then chickened out with a passenger. Could have went faster though. Wonderful bike for touring. Seat sucks after a long ride, but it can always be changed now that Corbin sells a aftermarket.

I took deliver on our summer day in July, I love riding it. It's responsive even keeping it below 5000rpm, although now I've had the first service I have opened it to 7000, it's smooth forgiving and fun to ride. I blast about the Welsh valleys and even in all this shit weather it's as sold as a rock. Buy this bike and you won't be sorry

Only had bike for one month, torque is brilliant and smooth on long hauls on Australian roads and the engine is never working hard either. My wife enjoys the rear seat comfort which stops her slipping forward unlike our last bikes. Our kids are grown up now so look out we are on the road again and just looking at the bike beckons you to get on and just enjoy the ride.

Bike is great, watch all tha t torque though on new tyres. Double bubble screen is a good extra. beowolf silencer makes it sound like a bike agin and is a safety feature legal with baffles in. gearbox a bit clunky but can live with that.handles reasonably well, and often goes faster than i think cos engine so smooth

I had a 2002 1200 before and compared to the new 1250 it was a saggy old bagpuss. Fantastic bike, super smooth except for a slight snatchiness at lowish speeds usually when cornering but nothing I cant adapt to. Why anyone would spend more on a bike I dont know. Would recommend it to anyone

Picked mine up last wednesday 21st May 08. Fantastic bike and a great jump up from the 650SA I had before. Handling is a lot easier. Engine smooth, however it may just be me but bottom gears are a little clunky. Had a few extras and the belly pan finishes off the base of the bike real good. Still riding in so not done over 4.5 k revs yet but when I can do, woweee

Had my bike just over a month and the torque is fantastic on the twisties. Excellent on long journeys.

I took delivery of my new 1250 gt on friday 28th march. I left it in this afternoon ( tuesday 1 Apr )for its 1st 500 mile service. i love it so far and i haven't even been over 5000 rpm yet! brilliantly smooth engine, abs, sat nav, heaps of torques, luggage and sweet handling. After spending the last 4 years on an 04 zx6 r,which is itself a great wee bike, my poor bones find the suzuki a breath of fresh air. im so looking forward to thrashing my sportsbike mates on our sunday runs and then heading to italy in the summer. its still early days but all the signs point to this being a cracking machine.
