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.

Insurance Specifications Gallery

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.

Système ABS

Jumjum Model 2008

The ABS on the rear has failed, and my dealer is offering to replace it for €1,500, excluding labor. The bike has 31,000 kms...I'm scared....y is there a way to fix it without replacing it? 06/19/2020 13:56 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Jumjum

Mimi Model 2008

After changing the spark plugs, air filter, oil filter and engine oil, the bike starts but stops within ten seconds. Is there anything special I need to do in addition (purge gasoline or other...) Thanks for your help 04/30/2018 20:31 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Mimi

pépé l'mot Model 2008

a recent biker, 1 year on a 650 GSF and since the end of September, this GSF 1250 BANDIT GT ABS. A real pleasure that I enjoy every day, whatever the weather: supple and maneuverable in town, impeccable roadholding and, above all, the kind of torque I like when riding a duo. On the downside, my front brake pads are a bit noisy, something I didn't experience with my 650. If I keep at it, I intend to file the rim like I used to do on my cars.
Are there other cases or even other problems encountered by other regulators of this 1250 recently put on the market. Thanks in advance. pépé l'motard 11/29/2008 07:45 Rating : 5/5 Respond to pépé l'mot
