presentation of the GSF 1250 bandit GT ABS 2008
the B12 has always been the epitome of the most affordable large roadster on the market, backed up by a healthy dose of torque and top-notch value for money. With this GT version, the GSF 1250 becomes the most affordable roadster of the moment. Of course, it doesn't have the prestige or high standards of a Pan-European, an FJR or a K 1200 GT... but this Suzuki can provide very similar services for almost half the price.
to approach the GT appellation, the Bandit 1250 S is fitted with a full fairing to enhance looks and protection, a set of 35-liter side panniers and a 49-liter top case with passenger backrest. This significantly increases the Suzuki's range of action. The brand-new 4-cylinder, water-cooled 1250 engine can handle the extra weight and mileage with ease. This Bandit 1250 GT is not yet THE grand tourer from Suzuki that we all hope to see one day; but at 8,500 euros, this call to grand touring is pretty damn interesting.
