2006 Suzuki GSF1250 Bandit
The standard Bandit 1250 model has a liquid-cooled, fuel injected, DOHC engine featuring a bore and stroke of 79.0mm x 64.0mm.
2007 Suzuki GSF1250 Bandit
The big Bandit gets a displacement bump for 2007 and the in-line four now packs 1255cc, with the power reaching 98 hp and a most fun 108 Nm peak torque at as low as 3700 rpm. The GSF1250 retains the naked attire, but with updates in the aesthetic department. Several elements have been redesigned, and the bike looks more modern now.
The shiny metal accents are still in place adding to the aesthetic appeal of the bike, while the chunky front wheel makes everything look sportier. Like before, the GSF1250 Bandit is a glorious city slicer and will feel equally amazing on both winding countryside roads and the highway.
2009 Suzuki GSF1250 Bandit
Much like the 650 model, the Bandit 1250S has a water-cooled motor specially designed for the Bandit. The previous 1157 cc air/oil-cooled motor did not meet Euro 3 emissions regulations.While the new 1255 cc engine produces almost identical horse power and torque figures as the old air cooled engine, the big difference is in where in the RPM band peak torque is produced. The standard Bandit 1250 model has a liquid-cooled, fuel injected, DOHC engine featuring a bore and stroke of 79.0mm x 64.0mm. On 2009 models the cylinders are plated with Suzuki’s "Composite Electrochemical Material", and a secondary balancer shaft further smoothens the rides.
