Overview[edit | edit source]
Suzuki GSX1250FA Traveler
Equipped with ABS for better braking control in conditions of poor grip, GSX1250FA Traveler is equipped with 37-liter top box with colored cover and fixing support, from 33-liter saddlebags and windshield with wing variable for greater protection from air . For those wanting something more, however, Suzuki Italy offers a very extensive list of optional accessories, ranging from rear fender to match the set inside bag for panniers through elements such as bracket Navigator, the tank bag (from 7 to 15 / 22 Liters) the cloth cover or the original motorcycle alarm beacon.
1255 cc, four cylinder, DOHC 16-valve distribution and maximum output of 98 hp at 7,500 rpm, the Suzuki FSX1250FA offers a very traditional cycle, forgoing the fork elements such as upside-down fork while no shortage of such matters as rear swingarm and monoshock with progressive linkage, alloy wheels, three-spoke sports tires 120/70-17 "ant. and 180/55-17 "post. front brake discs and 310 mm. Series, such as ABS, including the adjustable seat height (20 mm) and the center stand.
Suzuki have slapped on a fairing to the age old Bandit to create one of the dullest looking bikes on the planet the GSX1250FA. Yes, sure, with a fuel-injected 1,250cc inline-four that produces 104 horsepower and 108Nm of torque, relaxed ergonomics and full weather protection, the 1250FA may well be a competent sports-tourer (with the emphasis being on tourer ), but did it have to look so terribly dull? Anyway, Motociclismo recently tested the bike and here are some excerpts from what they have to say about the big GSX...
With the addition of a full fairing, the Bandit has become a modern touring bike that seems to offer excellent value for money. Yes, there are bikes that are much faster, better equipped and more sophisticated, but at just 9,999 euros, the GSX1250FA is economical and practical a machine thats well suited to the ongoing economic crisis!
The 1250FAs full fairing has been designed to protect the rider from bad
weather and Suzuki also offers an optional taller screen, which should offer
even more wind protection at higher speeds. The ergonomics are perfect for
touring soft, comfortable seat, rubber insulated footpegs and wide bars that
dont put a lot of weight on your wrists. Also, the 1,250cc engine feels
adequately powerful and offers good fuel economy, using just seven Liters
of
fuel over 100km.
At 257 kilos, the GSX1250FA is clearly not a sportsbike and while the engine feels energetic, the softly suspended bike is slow to respond to rider inputs. It has a high centre of gravity, pitches fore and aft under braking and acceleration and is sometimes reluctant while turning in. Take it a bit easy, however, and the 1250FA feels all right.
To sum up, the Suzuki GSX1250FA is a comfortable, stable long-distance tourer that is blessed with a flexible and powerful engine. And with ABS, it should be quite safe as well.
