2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250SEA ABS

A Sport Touring Package That’s Ready For The Long Haul

The Suzuki Bandit became a favourite for a wide range of riders worldwide by delivering an unmatched package of performance, style and value.

Smoother Power Delivery

The 2008 Bandit 1250 makes more torque from idle to redline and provides better throttle response for a smoother, more comfortable ride.

The liquid-cooled, fuel-injected DOHC engine features a full 1255cc of torque-producing displacement. This engine is built specifically for the Bandit, featuring a symmetrical layout that allows the exhaust head pipes to be routed around the frame downtube on each side, adding to the beautiful naked bike appearance. The transmission shafts are staggered vertically to make the engine shorter front to rear. Tighter spacing between the two pairs of cylinders makes the cylinder head and the throttle bodies 20mm narrower, which means the Bandit can be thinner at the front of the seat and at the rider’s knees— making it easier for the rider to touch the ground at a stop. The hydraulically controlled clutch has a coil spring providing improved lever feel. The 6-speed transmission offers optimal spacing of the gear ratios for improved acceleration while reducing top-gear RPM and highway speeds.

Now Available In A Dressed Touring Model
WOW! That’s the response we received when Suzuki Canada announced the Bandit 1250SEA Touring Edition. A motorcycle as equally comfortable on the Trans Canada Highway as it is on your favourite twisty back road. Understanding the versatility of the Bandit, we decided to make a great bike even better. It started off by adding stylish lower fairings to increase wind protection to the rider. Add to that a set of removeable colour matched hard bags and you have a bike that can do it all.

Advanced Digital Fuel Injection And Emissions Systems

The Bandit 1250 features state-of-the-art Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) digital closed-loop fuel injection, for better throttle response feel, smoother power delivery, improved mileage and reduced emissions.

An Ideal Chassis, Built For Sporting Comfort

– The Bandit 1250’s classic tube-frame chassis features large diameter downtubes, providing maximum torsional rigidity. Seat height can be adjusted up or down 20mm by removing, flipping over and re-installing clever mounting spacers between the seat and the frame rails.

The front forks have 43mm in diameter stanchion tubes with damping designed to deliver smooth response over varying sections of pavement. The Bandit 1250S comes with a sleek half-fairing, with a built-in line-beam headlight, an effective windscreen and fairing-mounted mirrors.

Disc Brakes, With ABS Is Standard*
The Bandit 1250S features fully floating 310mm in diameter dual front brake discs with ABS (Antilock Braking System) assisted 4-piston calipers, along with a 240mm diameter rear disc and single-piston ABS assisted caliper. The digital ABS system monitors wheel speed and matches braking power to available traction.
