Suzuki GSF1250 Bandit (2007-current)

it has one of the Best ride and handling. it rides like dream. Very Smooth,Comfortable and When you need the Power! Bandit has got plenty of it.

Well, I do have one of this kind. 15 months and 14.000Km rolled, in Portugal and Spain (I'm Portuguese), and so far I believe that when someone talk about all rounders - well, this is the all rounder. The 1250 S is an astonishing bike, that you can trust in every occasions. Suggestion: mount de bigger screen, much better protection in high speed!!

I've had my Bandit since the day they were released in the good ol' U.S.A. I have over 25,000 miles on it and have had no problems at all. I wish they had more accessories available thru suzuki, but as far as the bike goes? WOW!!! YOU CAN"T GET BETTER!!! Granted it don't run with the Busa, but it is far more comfortable. Can out-run everthing thats not a dedicated pure sports bike. Plenty of passing power, smooth, and have had mine at 167mph plenty fast enough. Good luck on your next bike puchase, this ones hard to beat! Oh, did I say HARD? Yeah I agree the seat is the only thing on ths bike you could complain about, after about 50mi. you start to realize that the seat is toooo "HARD". Other than that seat, this bike is very HARD to beat!

I had my GSF1250SA GT now for just over a year and did just over 4500 miles. The torque is awesome and handling is great even on twisty roads. Once on the way you don't feel the weight. The only things I have to complain about is the fairing which is a bit flimsy and too noisy. The mirrors show the ellbows quite nicely, but you can't see what's behind you. Would be better to have them on the handlebars I reckon. A lot of bike for a bargain. I noticed the paint coming off from the wheels, but Suzuki has agreed to powder coat them under warranty. Nevertheless a lot of bike for your money.

I've just read the review below, I think you must have a rogue bike. I've now put 4k on my K7 1250 and its a dream bike. it does everything i want from a bike, wether local or distance it never fails to make me smile. Hell of a bike for the money, fair play to Suzuki. Priced right and a great bit of kit.

euro 3 regs spoils a topbike vibration at 3500 revs numbs the body making 50 miles the maximum journey. seat needs gel pads and change grips to gel type or suffer old 1200 a lot better package k2 onwards..

had sports bikes since 2000. last bike gsxr k7 loads of extras what a tool but comfort wise for me agony after 50 miles. finally plucked up the courage to sell it and purchased bandit 1250 streetfighter. what can i say mistake no way.i can now do easily 150 miles in 1 go in pure comfort. engine is a peach and the weight is hardly noticable, and for a fairly hefty machine handles really well. i have been into sportsbikes all my life but this machine has bought me so much fun i couldnt imagine going back to a sportsbike. fantastic machine and for the price what a bargain. highly recommended

I had a 1999 sv650 which I was more than happy with. The bike was light and reliable and I had toured France with the machine. I needed a machine which was light, reliable and was able to take long journeys to work along with touring. I saw the bandit 1250 with full hard pannier in my local dealer, sat on it and was surprised at how much lighter it was than I actually thought it would be...even with the pannier on the machine. The sales man told be I should get 40 to 45 mpg which was OK. I took it for a ride and the bike is great. Having used it for daily trips from Market Drayton to Wigan, I am averaging about 50mpg however I have recorded an astounding 56MPG...14.3 litres over 170 miles. Incredible!! Performance is great as is the handling however I am no speed demon when it comes to the country roads. If you are looking for comfort, economy and just a bit of style, I think the bandit 1250 really fits well. When it comes to value for money, this one year old bike with 4K on the clock cost £4800 including everything and the suzuki warranty. Along with this, it can go as far as 15K miles between services. What more could I ask for. A great practical machine from suzuki.

I purchased my bike from new in May 2007 from Thunder Road, Bridgend in South Wales, It's turned out to be a good all rounder,I tend to use it for commuting mostly, There's plenty of power on tap when you need it, Seems to be very reliable and good on fuel, my only grumble is it tend's to eat rear tyres. This summer We shall be using it for touring,(I think it's up to the job). Very impressed with the bike but wish I'd waited and gone for the G.T. version. (Ah well, maybe next year)..

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.
