Overview[edit | edit source]

Suzuki GSF 1250GT Bandit














The Grand Touring is based on the standard Bandit 1250 model, but features extras which include a full fairing, a luggage system and a Garmin Zumo GPS system. The Garmin Zumo GPS system will feature dedicated Suzuki software, which will list every official Suzuki dealer in the country. There are also plans to set up an online element, where there will be downloads available such as Suzuki routes and waypoints. Suzuki sales and marketing director Nick Palmer said, “We are delighted to be able to bring the 1250GT to market with such a comprehensive specification. The 1200 model proved exceptionally popular, and with the boosted performance and agility of the 1250 combined with the added GT specification, this new model brings a very real alternative to those looking for a serious mile-muncher”.{| class="wikitable" |- !Make Model |Suzuki GSF 1250GT Bandit ABS |- !Year |2008 |- !Engine Type |Four stroke, transverse four cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder |- !Displacement |1254.8 cc / 76.6 cu-in |- !Bore X Stroke |79 x 64 mm |- !Cooling System |Liquid cooled |- !Compression |10.5:1 |- !Lubrication |Wet sump |- !Induction |Fuel Injection |- !Ignition |Digital transistorized |- !Starting |Electric |- !Max Power |70.5 kW / 95.8 hp @ 7500 rpm |- !Max Torque |108 Nm / 11.0 kgf-m / 79 lb ft @ 3700 rpm |- !Clutch |Wet, multiple discs, hydraulic operated |- !Transmission |6 Speed |- !Final Drive |Chain |- !Frame |Steel, Double cradle frame |- !Front Suspension |Telescopic, coil spring, oil damped |- !Front Wheel Travel |120 mm / 4.7 in |- !Rear Suspension |Link type, coil spring, oil damped |- !Rear Wheel Travel |137 mm / 5.39 in |- !Front Brakes |2 x 310mm Discs, 6 piston calipers, ABS |- !Rear Brakes |Single 240mm disc, ABS |- !Front Tire |120/70-ZR17 |- !Rear Tire |180/55 ZR17 |- !Rake |26° |- !Trail |107 mm / 4.2 in |- !Dimensions |Length 2130 mm / 83.8 in Width 790 mm / 31.1 in Height 1250 mm / 49.2 in |- !Wheelbase |1485 mm / 58.4 |- !Seat Height |785 mm - 805 mm / 30.9 in -31.6 in |- !Ground Clearance |135 mm / 5.2 in |- !Dry Weight |236 kg / 520 lbs |- !Wet Weight |250 kg / 551 lbs |- !Fuel Capacity |19 Liters / 5.0 gal / 4.2 Imp gal |- !Reviews |1000ps / MC24.no / Motorcyclist
