Tourque monster, owned one from 2012 to 2019, loved it, super reliable, did long distance touring two up, commuted with it, great bike in the twisties, it does everything well and was a joy to ride.
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...
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'.
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.
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.
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.
@@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. 🤡
I don't know if your brother still has the GSX 1250 f A but I have one and I want to put sport bike handlebars on it. Have you ever seen anybody online do this sort of thing for this bike?
@LUellenmoss I can't really say I have but it's not something I would do, you'll be taking away my favourite thing about it which is its comfort but I suppose it would look better
@@dezmotos Oh, is this your review? Actually, I'll just cry to your mum...she's right here in my bed...😄 Anyway, I didn't really watch the whole thing when I realized how little content there was. Thanks for the weather report! 'Holy Shit, she flies' 'I love Saturday mornings!' How informative. Blather on, Dude.
@bladerunner750 whatever man you wanna be a whiny little child go ahead and make your jokes, it's very simple you don't like the video, it's not even a review it's an impression video, if you don't like it don't watch
@@dezmotos An 'impression video'! Ah, why didn't you say so?! I think you have invented a new category! That makes a lot more sense... In fact, I think you should make another one without any narration, just riding around with the sound of the bike, maybe some shots of the tachometer and speedo..., maybe have a friend help by taking shots of you riding by... Seriously.

Same bikes here, Mate! Plus '09 Gixxer 1K...
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.

мож FZ 1 1000 или Z 1000 SX
Triumph Sprint ST 1050 был близок к этому, но пропустил с очень небольшим отрывом.

Just bought one. Glad I did 😃

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.
Great looking bike and fun to ride

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
I own the 650Sa. Have also the Tracer 9, but I was always tempted by this machine. Drop by to check my content, you may like it. Cheers.
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 😍

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

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

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 😂
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.
