presentation of the GSF 1250 Bandit S 2016
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 to such an extent that everyone in the office and at the counter went wild over them.
Although its career is becoming more and more discreet, the big GSF, only available in S version for a few years, has given itself a little facelift for 2015. To keep up with the times? No, simply to continue to please.
let me tell you right away, only the fork head has 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 also offers a great price for such a displacement.
