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 that’s well suited
to the ongoing economic crisis!
The 1250FA’s 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
don’t put a lot of weight on your wrists. Also, the 1,250cc engine feels
adequately powerful and offers good fuel economy, using just seven litres 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.
