there are the default exhausts? diference sound between the X and T? Thanks!

I think the amazing thing about the GSF 1250 is how long it's been in production, and what a great bike it is. It's not a sport bike, not a Tour bike, not a cruiser, not a flashy bike, just a great all-around reliable bike with a wonderful powerband, which is what most people who ride really want. Definitely a home run for Suzuki, even though it's sadly overlooked here in the States because it doesn't fit any popular category. The SV650 has always sold much better until Suzuki 'fixed' it with 'improvements'.

But how is it stock? I know where I can get 1 with bags. For a great price...im a really big guy both height and weight so I need a powerful bike. I would prolly put an after market pipe on it . But that's really all..oh and take off all the bags... Cheers

Great bike, useless review. 13 minutes I'll never get back. Didn't talk about Suspension, ECU flash, Seat, other mods... I have an '07.

Nice choice of song

haha really enjoyed this man! Been wanting to give this a crack, nice to see it from a more risk averse perspective

I'm 186cm, 90kg and I was just looking for a video like this to decide between GSA and regular GS!

Thanks for that detailed explanation! Ride safe.

Another Perth xsr900 😍

Sounds deep and powerful. A great machine. It would be great if Suzuki would start making a similar model to this one in the future. Got my like. Drop by bro, you may like my content. Cheers.

Being a 1250cc bike the temptation is to ride the torque but open it up and it really pulls like a train. You need to do a video using its full power, I suspect you’ll have an even stronger reaction🤣Yes it’s a heavy bike at almost 260kg but it carries its weight well and handles way better than it should, I really only feel the weight pulling it out the garage. As you mentioned, touring ability is great and the fairing does a pretty good job of keeping you out the elements. Cheap to run and service though it is pretty hungry for tyres! The only issue I have is finding a replacement (preferably lighter), I guess that’s why I’ve kept it 6 years so far.

lol when you mentioned the green shit definitely looked like some liquid burnt

Really great sound 😊

Good shit bro, will check out that area. i'm based south of the river and got a CB650R. Also 1/1 Fifo. Keep it up man

Good Vlog bro, Seeya out there

Does the front wheel lift when just rolling the throttle? Just curious how powerful it is?

Hey man.... Nice video. I'm in for the vlogs if ya keep em coming 👌🏻. I'm from Perth, moved to Kalgoorlie for 3 years and got my license there.... Now back living in Perth. Riding a bike is waaaaay different here. Looking forward to doing that exact road one day when the weather's right.

A mode only! replace the sprockets with racing ones, -2 on the front and +3 on the back.... Amazing. Wakes the bike right up friends. 😈

does it get hot white riding .. uncomfortably so... under the seat or tank area? im trying to narrow down between the ducati Pv4 , BMW1000RR and R1. off looks im ducati, then R1. but comfortability is key

Olá, espero que venha para o Brasil...

How much rpms do u use in second?

96 hp? 😂

Hello Dezikam, is this bike suitable for a complete beginner?

I got one in white. They say it's a slow old man bike !. Mine only has slip on though.

Хороший мотоцикл! У меня такой же!

Beautiful

Just picked up my 250 intruder yesterday my first bike 47,000km still starts cold first crank perfect first bike

Im looking at one currently but i want that f1 sound. Idk if can do this

You ride it like a champion. This is my next bike.

Good to see a fellow Aussie reviewing these amazing bikes! Ive got a 2010 as well, great bike. Only K&N airnfilter and Mussari slipon but sounds and runs great. These big things handle well, are comfortable, decent on fuel and are fast enough for 95% of roads and riders, the true 'do all' of motorcycles. Keep on spreading the good word mate!

thanks for the video man, about to buy a vtr250 myself so was glad you mentioned that bike in particular , love from switzerland

Привет. Какая звезда стоит?

Great video, gave me a laugh, I’m looking at getting one of these for my son whose about to get his license

I love the bandit i got the bandit 400 for my first bike about to upgrade to the bandit1200. Cant wait there really comfortable bikes there like the perfect sleeper bikes. The 1200 gonna be so much fun.

5:56 That potential decimal percentage of Mexican ancestry coming out! 😅

Nice video

looking for buy one of these, question.. how does it ride with the tall guy on it?😋👍🍻 i am 6'1

Have the same bike... 2016 1250fa.... Juat a leovince slip on in terms of mods but i happy with that, im a new rider so dont feel the need for anything more.

8hp more without the db killer akro✊🔥🔥

Hi pal im thinking buying a bandit, had 2 gen1 fazer1000 and hear the torque delivery it better, what mods can be done apart from remap, air box mod and exhaust, what is the Extractor mod you mentioned?

Great review. Glad you’re enjoying yours! I’ve got the new version and it’ll be a long term bike 💯

Hey man, I'm in Perth and currently learning how to ride. I've been looking at a few Suzuki Intruders on the secondary market. How do they go as far as LAMS bikes go? What's their power like on freeway rides?

To everyone skimming CZcams videos on 1250 Bandits, this is it - this is what your Bandit was meant to sound like and the power it was meant to have. How do you get your bike there? Go to Dale Walker's Holeshot site and follow ALL his instructions for Stage 2 Tuning. Do not quit or go cheap or stop at stage 1. You must correct the whole air flow path from air filter to exhaust tip and then add the ecu corrections. Open up air box filter cover, K&N filter, remove secondary butterfly valves (ecu controls these and choke the motor into over lean for emissions), replace factory headers ( don't be fooled by outward look, they are only 1 inch inside), get rid of cat, replace muffler with one you can see through, leave out "dB Reducer Tip" that comes with muffler.

So sad about the XSR man, but awesome to see you back on the vids!

What a gem this road… I start at zig-zag drive, obriens, lunch in Kalamunda and then a coastal ride

I have GSF650s 2007. Had though about shifting to GSX1250FA. Now I am pretty sure I will. Thanks for the video

I'll give you a subscribe 👍 I'm also a motovlogger from Perth, but offroad based. Love the XSR900, such a sweet sounding bike

thinking of geting one thanks for the vidio

Best bike ever made❤

What year model is it?
