Looks as if they should have given it the model designation GSX 1250FA, as it looks exactly like the GSX 650F and I think it's no longer a Bandit. Here are the specs:

A nice big tourer - at a good price probably too.

I read somewhere in the past couple of days the 650 Bandit has had a revamp for 2010 so it looks a bit more 'hoony'.

That's right, it was called the SAT last year.

The SAT was added by the dealer to a standard Bandit, so maybe the 2010 FA comes as is?

Note that the 2010 bandis 1250FA model has the same verticle headlight and fairing of the current GSX650F. I guess they're finally gonna do away with the Bandit. Don't be surprised to find the same bike badged as the 2011 GSX1250ST. The current GSX650F is the Bandit 650S dressed up with the seat of the old GS500F.
