Additional details

 

Today we brought to talk about the motorcycle bandit 250 manufactured by Suzuki company. This motorcycle was a motorcycle that was competitive with most of the motorcycles at that time. The motorcycles that competed side by side with this motorcycle are Yamaha Zeal 250, Kawasaki Bailus 250 from Kawasaki, Honda Hornet 250 from Honda. Many types of this motorcycle were produced and by the year 2005, the production of this motorcycle was completely stopped.With the maximum power that can be obtained by the 248cc engine, this bike can reach a speed of 200kmph. Maximum power can be obtained at 20000rpm.

 

In addition to this bandit motorcycle, Suzuki has released many bikes under the bandit category. including the GSF250, 248 cc liquid-cooled (1989–2000)

GSF400, 398 cc liquid-cooled (1989–1997)

GSF600, 599 cc SACS (1995–2004)

GSF650, 656 cc SACS (2005–2006), 656 cc liquid-cooled (2007–2016)

GSF750, 748 cc SACS (1996–1999)

GSF1200, 1,157 cc SACS (1996–2007)

Includes GSF1250, 1,255 cc liquid-cooled (2007–2016) motorcycles.

Talking about the shape of the motorcycle, the reed cage as the frame of the motorcycle adds extra beauty to the bike. The slightly larger rear tires also enhance the looks of the motorcycle. Parts of the bike are still available even though they were manufactured in the past.
