The Suzuki GSX650F is a sport touring motorcycle made by Suzuki. It is essentially an updated Bandit, filling the void of the retired Katana.[opinion] The 656 cc liquid-cooled engine has 85 bhp (63 kW)[1] and a 12,500 rpm redline. The transmission is 6-speed with a chain drive. Anti-lock brakes were added as standard equipment in 2009 for Canada.
Since its introduction there have been two recalls for the US 2008 model for electrical issues that cause stalling while riding and improper battery charging [1].
