The Suzuki Bandit 1250S returns

Suzuki has decided to reintroduce the Bandit 1250S to its UK motorcycle range.

Distinguishing the latest 2015 model is a redesigned half-fairing that now features radiator shrouds. As well as being more aerodynamic, it’s claimed to offer improved wind protection.

Power is provided by an updated version of the familiar four-cylinder, liquid-cooled 1,255 cc engine, which is combined with a six-speed transmission.

Standard equipment includes anti-lock brakes, a centre stand and a height-adjustable saddle. Buyers will have a choice of Glass Sparkle Black, Candy Daring Red or Pearl Glacier White paintwork.

A price for the 2015 Bandit 1250S hasn’t been announced yet, but expect it to cost slightly less than the very similar £7,895 GSX1250FA.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
