Gsf Series Lineage:
The GSF Bandit series, particularly the 1200 and later 1250, evolved from a focus on muscular, torque-rich performance in a naked or semi-faired package. The 1250 introduced the fuel-injected, larger-displacement engine for improved refinement and emissions.
Production Period:
The GSF1250 Bandit was produced from the mid-2000s through the early 2010s, with the 2007 model year being a key iteration of the first-generation 1250.
