Suzuki has announced pricing and availability of the Bandit 1250S, which returns to the Japanese manufacturer’s lineup for 2015.

Priced at £7,299, the Bandit 1250S comes with an updated fairing for 2015, designed for improved wind and weather protection over the previous model, and is available in dealerships nationwide from 16 March.

The Bandit, which uses Suzuki’s proven 1255cc inline four cylinder engine famed for its low down torque and smooth power delivery through the rev range, is highly regarded for its usability and versatility. Now an iconic name in motorcycling, the Bandit has found fame with those looking for a capable tourer, comfortable commuter, and weekend toy; the Bandit ticks all the boxes.

Suzuki GB Marketing Manager, Rob Cooper, commented, "Since the original 600 arrived in the UK, the Bandit name is one of the most recognisable in motorcycling, rivalling even our own GSX-R range for popularity. We’re delighted to be bringing it back for 2015 and to be doing so at an incredibly competitive price. We know what Bandit means to our customers, and are very confident owners will enjoy the updated one as much as they have the previous versions."

The 2015 Bandit 1250S comes with an RRP of £7,299 and is available in dealers from 16 March. For more information visit www.suzuki-gb.co.uk.
