I'm getting my mates bike in a few weeks. Bandit 1250 S. 2011 model in silver. So looking forward to it. I already have a V Strom 1000 which I love so this will complete my garage but I do want a Busa too. Always a Suzuki owner. ❤️💯👏👏👏
Fantastic bikes, my friend has one and its done 100, 000 KM's . Incredible bikes. I have the GSX S 1000, it is a great bike. Greetings from South Australia.
A hit and run driver took me out on my GSX-S1000A, totaled my bike and put me in the hospital for 32 days. Six months of rehab and I have bought myself a GSX1250FA! Can't wait to start riding again.
Владею таким. 2013 года выпуска. Этот мото, самое лучше сделанное руками человека. Не перестаю восхищаться. Даже не представляю, на что его можно было поменять. Таких больше не делают...
Great review, I have the 2008 1250S Bandit ABS and its the same bike basicly. I smile every time i get on it and have the same experience you just had, still smiling when i get off it for some time.
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.
I bought Just the same Bike last October from (Used Bike Personal Trading) with 280,000JPY ( 66,000KM , Equiv. approx USD2,100 at Chiba = nearTokyo area) Seller said this is the same price, 2nd hand Bike shop showed him. I am happy to gat it with no margin for shops. As large engine were not enforced to use high RPM, engine conditions are much better than 250CC or 650CC. So I recommend Bigger engine when you choose 2nd hand bikes.
@@jayflash2035 I would know because I own one. Dip shit. The differences are in the fairings, light location and the presence of a mounting bracket and cargo containers. That's like saying you wouldn't know the difference between a supra and a z4 just because they use the same engine and transmission. 🤡

Have owned a 2013 GSX1250FA for 3 years years now. Great bike, great machine. Really love it. It does what it says on the tin.
Just bought one. Glad I did 😃

@@allan1062 sorry to hear about your mishap, I hope you recover fully mate.

мож FZ 1 1000 или Z 1000 SX
Triumph Sprint ST 1050 был близок к этому, но пропустил с очень небольшим отрывом.
Great looking bike and fun to ride

Ditto. Identical year and model and I love it!
I have always wanted to ride one of these. I like the look and sound of it.

I have GSF650s 2007. Had though about shifting to GSX1250FA. Now I am pretty sure I will. Thanks for the video
Yeah you'll love it man, thanks for watching
good review no other bike of this size can touch it for value for money
yeah the low end torwq is a winner. not the noisy high rpm. just some sneaky hardpull low rev.
I've just picked up a 2016, all black, black frame and wheels 😍
Hi nice review have the same one in white I have a question for you can you maybe tell me which windshield is mounted on the bike ? Thanks in advance
It's actually not a bandit although it's very easily mistaken for one. It's a GSX. They are distinct from each other.
Correct, it is a GSX not a GSF but they are very similar.
Other than the full fairing there is no other difference
@@axelfiraxa the tail lights are mounted slightly different and it comes with travel bins on either side. They've just been removed in this instance.
It’s a bandit, you would know if you worked on one

Transverse 4 cylinder, yeah?
I believe it is yes
looking for buy one of these, question.. how does it ride with the tall guy on it?😋👍🍻 i am 6'1
It suits taller riders very well, riding position is upwards not like a sports bike
I'm same height,no issues comfort wise. She's a big girl though
@@rodneyhull9764Yes I have the same one and she is a big girl but pulls like a train and handles very well 👌
Hot as balls 😂😂
96 hp? 😂
More than you can probably handle pal 😂
