Suzuki GSF1250 Bandit (2007 - present)

Our Review

Reviewed: 25 June 2009 by Visordown
Ask most riders what bike they think did the most to define the 1990s and they will probably say Ducati’s 916, Honda’s FireBlade or Suzuki’s GSX-R750. Which is fair enough, as those have always been the attention grabbers, but there is a bike that had a far more subtle influence ...  Continue reading

Overall just a great all around motorcycle...The engine is excellent and makes my old RC51 feel like a slug in the low end and midrange..A lot of bike for the money...It may not have all the engine mode and ele Continue reading...

Effortless performance combined with good handling and riding position make it just as good as a commuter machine, as a relaxed sports-tourer, or just for a ride-out.
I've improved mine with a Givi top box, a Continue reading...

It doesn't look special and won't get your heart racing in the showroom but as an everyday bike it's an excellent all-rounder. Factor in the low price and it's difficult to find any bike to beat this. It's a lo Continue reading...

Super package , easy to ride but still has that bandit attitude Continue reading...

A great new bike for the money (£5600) with the paint job. Plenty of usable power and fast enough for most. 100mph at less than 5k revs and smooth with it. Don't be fooled by the plain Jane looks. Continue reading...

I bought mine new, two years ago. I was rather disappointed that the original Dunlop rear tyre barely lasted 2,400 miles. I replaced it with a Bridgestone BT021. This has now done the same mileage (2,400 miles) and hardly looks worn, well worth the change. The original front Dunlop still looks OK but I am generally light on the brakes, however, I will change this to a matching Bridgestone when the time comes.
