The Suzuki Bandit series of sport-standard motorcycles include the following models:
All models have DOHC inline four cylinder engines with 4 valves per cylinder. The GSF600 engine is based on the GSX-F 600 engine, re-tuned for more mid-range torque. The GSF1200 engine is a bored out version of the GSXR1100 engine, also re-tuned for more mid-range torque. The GXF650 and GXF1250 models use new fuel-injected, liquid-cooled engines, the GSF1250 having an auxiliary balance shaft to reduce vibrations.
'S' versions have a half-fairing, and starting from model year 2000, they also have dual headlights. 'N' versions are unfaired naked bike with a single headlight. The availability of the 'S' and 'N' versions varies with country and model year.
The Bandit series earned a reputation as "hooligan bikes". With more recent revisions, however, the bike has taken on a more streamlined and modern feel, taking it more towards sports tourer territory. The GSF1200 remains popular with stunt riders, and is used by a wheelie school in the UK.
Launched in 1989, the GSF250 and GSF400 are naked street motorcycles, with liquid-cooled, inline four cylinder engines derived from the GSX-R250 and GSX-R400 motorcycles, mounted as a stressed member in a steel trellis frame with single rear shock absorber. Apart from the engines and transmission, the "baby Bandits" share many of their parts. Limited editions have a retro-styled top fairing. 'N' designated models have clip-on handlebars. "GSF" and "Bandit" nomenclature are both used across the series' chronology and market geography.
The first generation GSF250 (GJ74A) produces 45 bhp (34 kW), while the GSF400 (GK75A) produces 59 bhp (44 kW). The GSF400 manages the extra power with a 525 chain and double disk front brakes (single disk in North America), compared to a 520 chain and single front disk on the GSF250.
