At the heart of the 2009 Suzuki GSF1250S Bandit allround motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 1255 cc (76.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 79.0 x 64.0 mm (3.1 x 2.5 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the GSF1250S Bandit measures 250 kg (551 lbs) wet (curb).
