2011 Suzuki GSX1250FA Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2011 Suzuki GSX1250FA features a 1250 cc (76.3 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 96.6 HP (70.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 108 Nm (79.7 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.3 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (3,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the GSX1250FA measures 257 kg (567 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,485 mm (58.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18.5-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
