I would go with the gsx1250fa. The other bike is a 2005 with 13K, and who knows who was beating on this bike? For 6K more you get a new bike with 0 miles that you will break in and know everything about. Safety is everything on a bike, and reliability is next. You can´t beat Suzuki´s 0%, it´s free money. I bought an ´11 gsx1250fa and it was the best decision I made. Plenty of power right where you want it and handling that makes anyone look like a pro...I was also looking at an ´11 Triumph Sprint GT but their interest rate was so high that I was getting nosebleeds! But the gsx is a comparable bike and a superior value. Also, check insurance rates before you buy. Safety, reliability and value is what I got with my gsx1250fa. I use it every day, I work multiple jobs to stay alive and the bike is my primary transportation. I´d rather drive a new bike than an old piece of crap car!
