Because...
A) I couldn't find any info on it - and I've been looking, but keep coming up with sites for old shows
B) Didn't know it was going on now,
C) I have to go to Paris in the morning to pick up my wife - and I know she'll be suffering from the long flight and the 9 hour time difference, so the last thing she'll want to do is get dragged around for hours at a bike show.

You would have to tell me it's going on right now, wouldn't you.

Look like a new engine to me, not like a GSXR or GSX1400 or Busa - or anything else Suzi do in big bore at the moment.

Interesting; we got the Bandit 650 in Canada this year so hopefully we'll get the Bandit 1250 next year.

Motorcycle Daily doesn't think the US will get it because the US didn't get the Bandit 650.

They report the motor is new.

They also report a New Kawasaki Concours based on the ZX1400.

Hmm; maybe I'll have to attend the winter's motorcycle shows this year.

Here's scans of the French article on the '07 B1250:

USD forks would look nice. Seems they'd cost about the same, or since they're hot, do they go for a premium?

The 130 horsepower off the showroom floor sounds nice.
Only 6.6 lbs heaver than the 1200 - and I'm sure you could counter most of that if you got rid of the dual catalyzer exhaust with a lightweight aftermarket affair...

In the background of some Hayabusa pics taken at the recent Las Vegas dealer show , both the 1250S and " N " models were on display .

where'd you get the HP numbers? The chart in the French article showed the same HP as the oil cooled bike but at lower RPM..........no, it doesnt sound right. My Bandit is rated at 470lb

thanks Keith. I'm relly lookng forward to checking it out the Cycle World show. 130 hp & right now tork, makes me feel good I didn't hock the old one for the FZ-1. I wonder what the non ABS version will cost? Of couse someone will have ot go the exhaust & power commaner route. I noticed tht rear shock is a step up, I wonder about the front end.

You're crackin' me up, Baz!
Scroll up... that's the exact same picture I posted above.
PaulVS even used my scan/url of the magazine article for the MS post.
(Which is OK with me.)

Where did you find that link? I'm not seeing it anywhere when I go to Suzuki USA.

Nice job.
