2016 Suzuki Bandit 1250s Review Performance - Released in the 1980s, "Bandit" series gained a reputation early as a 'hooligan bike'. More recently, however, the series has taken on a more respectable look and feel that brings it in line with -tourers sports and street. Bike reintroduced for the 2016 Suzuki Bandit GSF1250S of half-fairing has a new sculpture - denoted by "S" in the model number -. that envelopes the radiator shroud in front of the vents under the lights to smooth airflow over and around the rider and passenger less wind buffeting and voice, giving a lift with smooth styling and attention to comfort.

A mix of old and new in the instrument cluster combines analog tach with an LCD panel that displays a digital speedometer and odometer and dual trip meter, clock and fuel gauge. I always appreciate when I see producers recognize the diversity of their customers by offering a height adjustable chair. The Bandit 1250S, you must 0.78 inche to play with, and despite the low altitude too high for us short people, at least the beginning that we have an adjustment at all.

Front suspension design using traditional, non-adjustable, non-inverted hydraulic fork adequate, but lacks some of the features that are expected in this sporty bike. The rear monoshock, however, comes with customized settings for rebound damping and preload, and it is tucked out of sight leaving unimpeded view of the rear wheels and the rear of the net.

Driving chassis rather vanilla is 1,255 cc engine equipped with cool design features. Sports alphabet soup absolute owned Suzuki subsystem, engine certainly the star of this show. The fuel-injected, DOHC mill produces 97 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 80 pound-feet of torque at 3,700 rpm, which according to one unofficial sources was enough to turn the quarter-mile time of 11:04 seconds at 118.98 mph - not too shabby ,

Now for the soup; Suzuki ring coated with chromium nitride compounds through the use of physical vapor deposition (PVD) system to minimize losses due to the ring-to-cylinder friction and blowby. This virtue is enhanced by Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) is used to coat an aluminum cylinder bores, which help in cooling and allows for tighter piston-to-cylinder tolerance. Induction-control tasks fall to 36 mm throttle body and the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system.

Engine Control Module (ECM) processes the input from various sensors, and intervene via the throttle control to maintain engine efficiency and emissions while delivering a smooth throttle response. Automatic Idle Speed ​​Control (ISC) made a smooth engine at idle and the auxiliary cold start. Suzuki Pulsed-Air (PAIR) system injects filtered air into the exhaust stream to burn off excess free hydrocarbons and catalyst in the exhaust system to burn whatever is left, to meet current emission standards.

Liquid cooling systems draw double duty; not only does it pull through the waste heat from the engine jacket water, but also cools the oil through a heat exchanger fluid similar to the type used on the GSX-R750. I personally like the more usual types of systems 'cooling-by-association' style, and finding extra protection for oil entertaining.

The Bandit 1250S price starts at $ 9,899. You have your choice Online Candy Red or Glass Sparkle Black with a 12 month unlimited mileage limited warranty.
