In 2015, Suzuki released the GSX-1250FA, a sport-touring machine sold in Canada and the UK, based on the new generation of big Bandit machines that were transformed into members of the GSX family, which resulted in a successful transformation because the bike retained the best features of both worlds.
The GSX motorcycles delivered punchy throttle response and featured aggressive design and top-drawer maneuverability while the all-rounder practicality shined through thanks to excellent long-range seating comfort, predictable power delivery in the mid-range, and a non-intimidating feel.
The bike featured an optional sport-touring accessory pack that included a three-piece high-quality luggage system with 33-liter side panniers and a 37-liter top box. The contoured seat was 20 mm vertically adjustable by switching the mounting spacers between the seat and the frame seat rails, which offered enhanced long-distance comfort.
The classic tube-frame chassis was designed for an excellent balance between sporty handling and highway cruising comfort and dressed in a full fairing with vertically stacked headlights that increased the open road comfort.
As for power, the 2015 GSX-1250FA took its thrust from a 1,254cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 97 hp at 7,500 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm.
In addition, the bike featured standard equipment such as a large-capacity fuel tank, a center stand, and an instrument cluster that offered a variety of gauges.
