Suzuki GSX1200 Inazuma
1998—2002
I have tried to tell GSX 1200 Inazuma model history on this page as I know it. This page is still under construction. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

The Suzuki Inazuma 1200 (GSX1200/GSX1200FS) released in April 1998 was a naked motorcycle model, big brother to the Inazuma 400 released the previous year. Its oil-cooled 4-stroke inline-four DOHC 4-valve engine had a displacement of 1,156 cc. It was based on the engine installed in the GSF1200 Bandit but reconfigured to increase torque at low revs. Instead of the Mikuni BST36 and Mikuni BSR36 carburetors used on the Bandit, the Keihin CVK32 carbutetors were used on the 1200 Inazuma.

The 1200 Inazuma motorcycle had a steel tubular frame, aluminum swingarm, 5-speed gearbox, classic Showa double shock absorbers at the rear and telescopic fork at the front and a 310 mm disc at the front brake combined with a Brembo 4-pot caliper with different diameters.

A smaller version of the big Inazuma, GSX750 Inazuma, was produced for the European market. At glance, the models were very much alike, but the models are quite easy to tell from apart if you know where to look; the engine side of the GSX750 is all black while the GSX1200 has polished engine sides.

The 1200 Inazuma was produced in 1998 and 1999 for the Japanese market, but two more years for the European market. In some European countries, 2002 year's models were offered.

Owns a GSX1400 now.
Comments: ”GSX1200 is not as nice as the GSX1400, not so strong, but lighter and much better in handling! I have made a trip to the Dolomiten at 2700 meters above the sea twice with the GSX1200 - it was super! In May 2002 i will make a trip there for the first time with my GSX1400.”
