In 2014, Suzuki launched the GSX-1250FA, a full-fledged sport-touring motorcycle derived from the big old Bandit and available with optional side cases that provided good touring capabilities.
Large and yet compact, the bike offered top-class comfort for both rider and passenger, and with a fairing and windscreen that provided good weather protection, the GSX1250FA was a good choice for riders that liked torquey sports machines which could go the distance.
The precise fuel injection that provided torque from the low rpm range and ABS brakes that enhanced the safety of the model were only two of the top-drawer technologies and features that enhanced the riding experience, together with the adjustable seat height, large fuel tank, and comprehensive dashboard array of instruments.
The 2014 GSX-1250FA featured a tailored engine that delivered smooth acceleration and power with its Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection for smooth power delivery and reduced emissions.
With a 1,255cc displacement, the four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine developed a power output of 96 hp at 7,500 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 3,500 rpm and sent the power to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission.
Visually, the bike featured a functional full fairing that created a smooth and comfortable ride at highway speeds with vertically stacked headlights and a center stand as a standard option.
