Suzuki GSX 1250 FA - On board HD Camera

Recorded with GOPRO HD Motorsports HERO camera, with suction cup mount on gas tank.

[@aim6660]

Got my Bandit FA on Nov.2012 n all i can say it's got super-torque n so,so,so excellence with it smooth engine! I personnally recommend this bike for everydays ride n also for touring 100% the best bike money can buy. Suzuki Bandit 1250 FA the best of it kind i really enjoy riding this Iron Horse!!! Very comfortable n the power delivered.

[@whitesand8]

Great video...I've got a 2008 Bandit 1250 and your video reminds me what I like about this bike...Nice and quiet, sounds like what you would think a nuclear powered bike would be or perhaps a quiet jet turbine....Lots of folks may miff at the hp numbers but this bike makes huge bottom end power which equals massive instant thrust in any gear any rpm.

[@TheMarahthon96]

Dang, it goes fast- I love it. The sound is pretty too.

[@60beesknees]

Great video as it gives you a real feel of how the GSX1250FA performs riding it the way most people would. Also a very magical piece of road for a motorcycle. I also agree with other comments on the nice sound.

[@Afonso2001br]

Thanks for not posting music in your video. The motor sound is real music.

[@MrLucagsr]

in one year i drove 25000 km .i think the nicest i ever made,it is really a wonderfull bike

[@ziondanny7081]

Dude, stop changing down all the damn time!

[@neexx]

When this video was recorded the bike was a brand new one so that is the reason.

[@kevinh4910]

Anil Löeb these make peak torque at 3400rpms. 4 k is hardly bogging the engine

[@Gimpzomg]

Fuck Horse Power - Torque is what counts. 108nm from 3.700 up to about 7.500. The GSX-R 1000 has ~180Hp and what...? 112nm? Yeah. He might top you on top speed...but where can you drive faster than 230km/h?

[@9eujejfcn]

i bought one May 2012, commute to and from work. Only my second bike since I learned on a 250cc Kwski in 2011. I recommend the bike for comfort, very smooth inline 4 engine. Hardbags good except strap buckle broke easily inside is all. I think it was the best overall buy because of the engine, I was looking for something which wouldn't shake me to bits on my 70 mile round trip every day. Bike delivered.

[@shamalanon-time4209]

hi Folks, I am new to this bike...about a month, done 4k KMS and max speed ridden is 220kmh. The bike as we know it doesnt have the greatest of engine braking nor does is have a brake system close to performance of a hayabusa + it has soggy front suspension known to dive even with pre-load adjusted up. I have had issues keeping 120kmh on very similar curves. May i ask what is wrong in dropping gears so that we will not have to depend on braking where the front dive can cause you to loose control or panic ??

[@60beesknees]

Great video as it gives you a real feel of how the GSX1250FA performs riding it the way most people would. Also a very magical piece of road for a motorcycle. I also agree with other comments on the nice sound.

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

Rubbish riding, not blipping the throttle when changing down. Should just keep it in 3rd or 4th on that road.

[@neexx]

@cynic150 My bike is one year old so 2010 ;-) This video was filmed in Catalonia. You are welcome !

[@Brethyl19]

I don't have a camera yet, but I have had the bike since April and it has been an absolute dream. I picked it up with zero miles on it, and have close to 7000 miles on it since it's too hot to really ride in the summer months in Arkansas, USA. There are definitely some great roads here. Look up the Arkansas Dragontail.

[@Frejborg]

Wow, that's a really nice road!

[@Corbystarlet3381]

Nice cornering lines and good to see you are having fun on YOUR side of the road. Well done. My 1250FA should be arriving in a week or so! Can't wait as I'm giving up on the M50 - too hard on the back.

[@informedcarpet]

Picked mine up yesterday..great ride, love it.

[@mywgate]

Incredible sound!

[@neexx]

@MrLucagsr Yes ! I love it too ;-)

[@Moshishak1]

Educational

[@JamesCurl_aka_RedonKiLaus]

Great machines. I red lined my engine the other day racing a car - to my surprise, a rev limiter seemed to have kicked in around 9,5K ... I was going about 100 in second gear.

[@rdchapman3037]

hey that's fast!

[@vinnieribeiro]

the bike is great, but the pilot did not know even exchange your gear properly ...

[@neexx]

Vicente Ribeiro when this video was recorded the bike was a brand new bike. That is the reason.

[@vinnieribeiro]

neexx Thank´s my friend!

[@peterpage625]

Is that in mph or kmph?

[@opollo]

I am lookin to buy one tomorrow and its a 61 plate and less than 2k milage , £5999 well wont be the price i pay ;)

[@davegaria8529]

Muy bonito el video, da la impresión de que fueras a rozar las maletas jejeje....Ando detrás de una de estas, pero me tira un poco para atrás el consumo y el tema clavada via impuestos, seguro etc con respecto a una 800...¿cuanto os viene gastando en ciudad y carretera? Gracias.

[@neexx]

El consumo es sobre los 6,5 litros. El deposito es de 19 litros y en un test pude hacer 289 km con un deposito.

[@davegaria8529]

gracias, me es de gran ayuda ;)

[@Tigadee00]

With a bike like this and the power it delivers, is it really necessary to change down a gear at every corner?

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

Rubbish riding, not blipping the throttle when changing down. Should just keep it in 3rd or 4th on that road.

[@jameshaywood878]

I was thinking the same, bike as enough torque to just leave it in top gear, it's not like he was in a hurry.

[@fleurjanssens9163]

Marvelous% Hey theve. morning chickens What's your opinion about that,$guys

[@neexx]

@fredb70fr hello Fred. Thanks for your opinion about my video ! It was funny to do it heh. Troubles with the Suzuki GSX 1250 FA ? heh! no way ! More km you do more fun you got from it. I love this bike. Well, maybe its brake power is a little short but nothing to worry about.

[@Brethyl19]

Got the camera. You'll see footage on my profile. Most of it is raw, but I'll be posting edited stuff as soon as I pick a software suite and learn it.

[@julabhon]

I got my 2011 1250 FA this year, new for $8350 plus ttl. for the way I ride and my riding habits it is perfect. I am not a knee scraper and only go to the track to watch. I like the sport bike look but do the Goldwing riding. This is the perfect bike for that. Plus I got hard bags.

[@Abundance4LL]

Is that mph and is that stock exhaust?

[@neexx]

km/h and yes, former stock exhaust

[@neexx]

@1MCfocus1 Big Egg ? haha ! About that clicking sound ... Did you fix it some way ? Thanks of your opinion about this video. It was really funny to record it ;-)

[@cynic150]

Thanks for this. A really nice natural ride video. What year is the bike and where was it filmed? Thanks :-) I wish I had one like this!

[@neexx]

Not really but you get more fun listen its sound when changing gears and noticing its power at higher rpm ;-)

[@SvenTSchixe]

Is the bike in stock condition in this video? Specifically curious about the muffler? Thanks in advance

[@neexx]

@rjbvanwell Thanks ! You know, riding the bike while you are recording it is even better ! heh.

[@cynic150]

@neexx Thanks :-) Sorry, where is Catalonia? Spain? Which part?

[@neexx]

I recommend it at 100%. What's it like ? please read the comments ;-)

[@neexx]

@MrLucagsr 25000 km ? whoah ! I "only" drove 8500 km in one year ;-)

[@DblOSmith]

I would give my clutch hand for one of these bikes! Nice!

[@neexx]

@Brethyl19 You say an absolute dream. Nice definition of this bike hehe.

[@neexx]

Hey there. It's raw but nice ! Congrats on your new shinny GoPro camera.

[@neexx]

Thanks ! heh, I like your description about its sound. Very graphic description.

[@neexx]

@elgin700 Yes. It's a good HD camera and indeed a great bike ;-)

[@neexx]

Thank you ! I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with yours. Enjoy !

[@neexx]

It was one of many nice mountain roads in Catalonia.

[@Tigadee00]

Ahhhh, I get ya! In that case, carry on... :-D

[@masterofmachines67]

best relaxing video...awesome...

[@noostNL]

NEAT

[@neexx]

Enjoy ! ( I love mine too, obviously ;-)

[@neexx]

Yet ! It is. I like it so much.

[@neexx]

haha ! funny comment !

[@aim6660]

👍 I'm gonna get it for sure!

[@albertc5080]

Ostres, no hagués dit mai que es Catalunya! On era exactament? Merci ;)

[@boboundselma]

where was this?

[@neexx]

Yes. It is.

[@neexx]

Thanks !

[@geoffreygreenhalgh6744]

Very clumsy on the gears, it's not an old two stroke. I have one of these 1250s, just keep it in 3rd or 4th!!!!

[@neexx]

Geoffrey Greenhalgh Yes. Right.

[@TheBrowndog1969]

Nice vid mate but you need to learn about pre-loading those gear brother..
