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.

Goodbye RM85 Suzuki

Tue, 10 May 2011

An old friend dropped in this weekend, on his way back from an arse-killing 4,500 mile ride to Estoril and back to watch the MotoGP race. He has only ever ridden Harley chops and old stuff with the exception of his vague nod at practicality and modernity - an ancient, very, very high mileage R1100GS BMW. I made him a brew and some pasta arrabiatta then made him ride my 2011 Fireblade.

In loving memory of the Suzuki Katana

Wed, 23 Mar 2016

The Japanese are celebrating the 35th anniversary of the legendary Suzuki Katana motorcycle, whose appearance on the road still stuns the layman. Back in the day, the Japanese manufacturer relied on the European design studio Target Design to get an innovative motorcycle. Hans Muth, the ex-BMW designer at the time, presented two concepts: a 650cc prototype and a 1100cc version that ended up on the assembly line.
