Suzuki GS description

I picked this 850G up last year as a weekend ride.   It had about 12,300 miles on it and I changed all the fluids and installed new rubber.   I also just recently installed a sealed lead acid battery.

Everything on the bike works as it should including the self cancelling turn signals, the fuel gauge, the lights and horn etc. etc.    The seat lock works - there's no tool tray.

Mechanically she's very sound and revs properly up to redline.   She also tracks very well on the highway at speed.    Just a very solid example of this great inline 4 motor.

Seat is in great shape with no rips.

Cosmetically she's above average as well with some areas as shown in the photos:
1) little scratches on the tank - probably from a tank bag
2) typical pitting of the clear coat on the engine case
3) she fell down at some point in her history - as shown by the crack on the left side of the gauge cluster.  No other damage that I can see - all turn signal stalks etc are straight 

All in all a very nice example of the GS850G - it gets lots of compliments.       I've started commuting 60 miles round trip each day so I've bought a new commute bike, that's why I'm letting her go.

Title is clear CA and in my name.   I can work with your shipper as needed.

2020 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT Review – First Ride

Tue, 04 Feb 2020

ADV for Everyman, now with more power and cruise control Credit: Photos by Suzuki and John Burns How can any red-blooded American not love Suzuki, the blue-collar working motorcycle so many of us thrashed as youths, left parked in alleys with no loss of sleep, covered in fur for a brief period there in the (I think) ’90s… In spite of all the abuse we dished out, Suzuki’s loyalty was never in question. 2020 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT Editor Score: 88% Engine 18.0/20 Suspension/Handling 13.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 9.0/10 Brakes 8.5/10 Instruments/Controls 4.0/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 9.5/10 Appearance/Quality 8.5/10 Desirability 8.5/10 Value 9.0/10 Overall Score 88/100 2020 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 First Look Of all the GSX-Rs, GSX-Fs, SVs, RMs and TLs that have graced the editorial garage, I think the big V-Strom has emerged as my favorite, even if it wasn’t clear what role the first DL1000 was supposed to play in 2002? Back then, it was all about the GSX-R.

2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+ Review – First Ride

Fri, 22 Dec 2023

A tech-laden, long-legged addition to the K5 family Photography by: Ula Serra, Amylee Photography Suzuki has produced more than 180,000 of its K5 999 cc Inline Four cylinder engine in the last 18 years, and now we’re seeing that engine tasked with powering a tall sport touring bike that Suzuki calls the “supreme sport crossover," sitting between the sport-touring GSX-S1000GT that the GX is heavily based on, and adventure tourers like that of Suzuki’s V-Strom line. Leggy sport tourers, or crossovers, aren’t exactly a new thing, and since bikes like the Kawasaki Versys, Yamaha Tracer 9 GT, and BMW S 1000 XR exist, there is already some healthy competition for Hamamatsu to contend with. Suzuki tells us this is its most technologically advanced motorcycle yet, making the GSX-S1000GX a sort of flagship product for the brand.

Another Teaser for New “Middle-class” Suzuki Motorcycle

Tue, 07 Jun 2011

Suzuki has released a another teaser for its upcoming “Middle-class New Motorcycle”. We wrote about the previous teaser last week, speculating the new motorcycle is an updated Suzuki V-Strom, possibly a V-Strom 650 with a retuned version of the Gladius’ engine. A commenter named Steven suggested it might be a V-Strom 1000 instead.
