GSX1250FA ST: Suzuki's new bargain sports tourer

This is Suzuki’s brand new GSX1250FA ST – a luggage-equipped version of the GSX1250FA launched earlier this year.

Priced £7499, or just £500 more than the already value-packed GSX1250FA, the ST comes as standard with twin 33-litre panniers and a 37-litre top box which, until now, were only available as optional extras. 

The new GSX1250FA was launched earlier this year to general acclaim and is based on Bandit 1250 mechanicals but with a new full fairing modelled on that of the GSX650F (the middleweight spin-off of the Bandit 650), different instrumentation and a few more minor modifications.

The new ST also means the old, luggage-equipped, half faired GSF1250S Bandit GT is now dropped from the range.
