Built around Suzuki's allround motorcycle platform, the 2017 Suzuki GSX1250FA features a 1255 cc (76.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 97 HP (70.8 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 108 Nm (79.7 lb-ft) at 3,700 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 3,800 rpm working window between peak torque (3,700 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 (2.65 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 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
