Suzuki has taken the wraps off the all-new GSX1250FA, a fully
faired all-rounder that adds a versatile sports bike option to the
class leading Suzuki street bike line up in Australia.
A fuel-injected 1,255cc powerplant is matched to a distinctive
full fairing and ABS braking to deliver proven Suzuki street bike
performance and all-day touring comfort.
"The GSX1250FA bolsters an already comprehensive and
value-packed street bike range," said Perry Morison, General
Manager Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia.
"With a stylish full fairing, comfortable ergos, and
demonstrated Suzuki street bike pedigree, the GSX1250FA will
strengthen Suzuki's already dominant position in the big street
bike category."
Developed from the powerplant of the popular Bandit 1250S, the
GSX1250FA features a sporty and reliable, 1,255cc, fuel-injected,
DOHC, 4-cylinder engine and six-speed transmission, delivering
extra smooth acceleration and a wide spread of power for relaxed
highway cruising.
Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Materials (SCEM) coating of the
aluminium-alloy cylinder bores reduces friction and improves heat
transfer and durability.
Each 36mm throttle body contains dual throttle valves for
improved combustion efficiency, increased low RPM torque and more
linear throttle response.
Automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) improves cold starting,
reduces emissions and stabilises engine idle under varying
conditions.
The six-speed transmission utilises ratios developed for
impressive acceleration and smooth high-speed cruising.
ABS equipped dual, fully floating 4-piston calliper 310mm front
disc brakes and single piston calliper 240mm rear disc brake supply
the GSX1250FA with ample stopping power.
The GSX1250FA is a motorcycle designed to meet the needs of
highway adventurers, with long distance comfort a priority.
The functional full fairing houses a vertically stacked,
multi-reflector halogen headlight, while the tail section and fuel
tank seamlessly integrate within the overall package.
An all-new instrument cluster has been designed with
functionality in mind. In addition to an analogue tachometer and
LCD speedometer, instrumentation includes gear-position indicator
and shift light.
Beneath the bodywork, the GSX1250FA is designed for maximum
comfort and practicality - delivering well-balanced and sporty
handling.
The GSX1250FA's rider-friendly chassis is built around a classic
tube-frame, featuring a large-diameter downtube, 25.2 degree rake
and 104mm trail for an excellent balance of sporty handling and
rider comfort at highway cruising speeds.
The GSX1250FA's seat height can be adjusted up or down 20mm
(805mm / 825mm) and a convenient centre stand comes standard.
Providing a smooth and comfortable ride with predictable
handling, 43mm-stanchion-tube front forks and a single rear shock
are both spring-preload-adjustable.
The 19.0 litre fuel tank offers an extended touring range making
even the most exotic destination within reach.
A range of functional accessories are also available including a
hard top case and panniers.
The Suzuki GSX1250FA is available in Blue or Grey colour schemes
and is backed by Suzuki's two-year, unlimited kilometre
warranty.
