Our Verdict
A recommended choice for those seeking a
Pay close attention to the steering assembly and associated wiring. Because the vehicle failed in 2023 due to steering linkage modifications and insecure wiring (item 2.1.3 (f) (ii)), you should verify that the current setup is standard or professionally installed and secure. Check that the offside brake lever is functioning correctly and is of a suitable length, as this was a noted concern in 2023.
Inspect the tyres for wear and date codes. The rear tyre reached its legal limit in October 2023, so ensure the current set has sufficient tread and hasn't perished. As with any bike of this age, request all available service records to understand the maintenance performed between the recorded MOT intervals.
The 1255cc engine is designed for touring, meaning fuel consumption will be higher than smaller displacement motorcycles. You should budget for the higher fuel costs associated with a 1.2L engine and check the current insurance group for this specific model to estimate annual premiums.
Maintenance costs will typically include regular oil changes, filter replacements, and periodic tyre changes. Given the weight and power of the GSX 1250, consumables like brake pads and tyres may wear faster than on lighter bikes. The estimated annual cost covers fuel, road tax, insurance, and basic servicing.
The primary area for inspection is the steering linkage and the surrounding wiring. Reference the 2023 MOT failure to ensure that whatever modification was present has been corrected and that no wiring remains insecure. Test the steering for smoothness and ensure there is no adverse effect on handling.
Additionally, check the offside brake lever for stability and length, and examine the rear tyre for tread depth. Finally, inspect the white bodywork for any signs of damage or degradation that may have occurred over its 13 years of service.
This white 2013 Suzuki GSX 1250 FAL2 has recorded 30,548 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The vehicle's history shows a failure in October 2023 due to steering linkage modifications and insecure wiring, which were rectified on the same day. Since then, the bike has passed its 2024 and 2025 tests with no defects recorded.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Suzuki GSX 1250 FAL2 to establish a broader reliability pattern.
