All Tests - GSX1250FA Test: The Bandit's New Heist! - The pure good deal!

Suzuki’s iconic roadster, the Bandit 1250 transforms into a long-haul traveler with the addition of a flattering full fairing. Renamed GSX1250FA, the new Bandit is ready to overshadow many roads for a tempting price… Test.

The pure good deal !

The character of the GSX1250FA, which is abused with relish, easily propels the crew to over 200 km / h with suitcases and top case on the motorway! A speed at which the motorcycle retains predictable and therefore reassuring behavior, although the front axle obviously loses in precision past 160 km / h: a characteristic common to many road vehicles equipped with suitcases and a top case..

However, even at these highly prohibited speeds, the GSX1250FA has never started to tack and keeps its course imperturbably: only the too fair protection of the wind shift (even with the deflector in the high position) encourages you to give up your hand to save The vertebrates.

Properly protecting the bust and head up to the middle of the helmet, the front appendage would gain in efficiency with a few additional centimeters: a remark also valid for the lower part of the fairing, which does not completely insulate the legs from the elements..

Designed from a roadster, the GSX1250FA is nevertheless a pleasant and efficient road: well helped by its lively engine and sufficient performance to absorb the excess weight generated by its mutation, the Suzuki may not have all the technological attributes of a top-of-the-range road, but the "novelty" fulfills its contract with its head held high because it can take advantage of a massive argument: its price !

Sold for 9,499 euros in its version Genuine and 9,999 euros for the "fully equipped" version Grand Touring (bubble deflector, 35 l side bags and 33 l top case where an integral fits easily), the GSX1250FA offers a multitude of practical aspects (central stand, warning, adjustable saddle, complete dashboard with fuel gauge, time, gear indicator engaged and even a shift light!) at an unbeatable price.

The most demanding will regret the chain transmission, the absence of storage pockets on the fork crown and the few perfectible finishing details such as the contactor, the turn signal wires running along the rear light on the GT version or the surrounding collars. cables and electrical sheathing. But for the price of a Honda Deauville or a Yamaha TDM GT, the GSX1250FA claims a considerable load capacity and a much more demonstrative engine..

At a time when purchasing power is more than ever at the center of concerns, acquiring a large truck while keeping enough budget to consider taking it to the end of the world is a real feat that should facilitate the objective of 1,100 sales – 70% of Grand Touring – fixed by Suzuki France for this versatile GSX1250FA.
