Suzuki 2010 unveiled Model

Suzuki GSX1250FA


Suzuki have released pics of the 2010 GSX1250FA, a sports-tourer based on the GSF1250 Bandit, but with a full fairing and racier ergonomics. The bike is fitted with the same 1255cc inline-four, suspension components and steel tube chassis as the Bandit, but the GSX-R-style nose, fairing and exhaust system are different. ABS is optional and specially designed hard luggage is available from the factory.

To be honest, we don’t like this bike very much. It looks like a dated, hodge-podge, parts-bin special. The new Bandit looks so much better. Anyway, the Suzuki GSX125FA is expected to cost a bit less than 10,000 euro (US$14,600) and will be launched early next year.

We're sure it's a competent machine, but did they have to make it look so dull?

Suzuki GSF1250 Bandits


Suzuki have released first pics of the 2010 GSF1250 Bandit, which is fitted with a revised, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, 1255cc inline-four. Styling changes include a new headlamp and taillamp, new exhaust and minor changes to the bodywork. The suspension is adjustable for preload and seat height can be lowered by 20mm, via adjustable shims. ABS is optional.

Sure, it isn’t exactly the most high-tech motorcycle in the world but the naked GSF Bandit is probably just right for those who want a big, standard-style bike with comfortable ergonomics and daily-use reliability. The bike is priced at 8,249 euros (US$12,000) and will be available in Suzuki showrooms early next year.
