VEHICLE REVIEW

2011 Suzuki Bandit 1250S

It stole the imagination of open road riders everywhere. Now the Bandit is even better with its unmatched balance of superior performance, eye-catching style and advanced technology. The compact 1,255cc liquid-cooled engine delivers arm-stretching power and torque, civilised by the smooth acceleration of the new SDTV fuel injection system. A secondary balancer shaft reduces vibration while the new slick-shifting six-speed transmission improves acceleration, at the same time reducing top gear rpm at highway speeds. A hydraulic clutch and liquid-cooled oil cooler complete the big-bore power plant. The distinctive styling of the chassis isn't just about looks either, the frame featuring larger diameter down tubes for better balance and handling. Meanwhile the wide seat is height adjustable by up to 20mm for improved comfort on those long rides and you'll enjoy fewer interruptions thanks to the large-capacity fuel tank. In developing the Bandit 1250S, the dedicated team of Suzuki engineers have produced a cruiser of unmatched performance, style and value. A machine that truly owns the highway and gets you away.
