1982 SUZUKI GS650G

I purchased this 1982 GS650G new on Feb. 16, 1985. It is the 1st of 2 red GS650G models that I purchased and is identified elsewhere on this site as "GS650G Red1." It was new and unsold in a dealer's showroom 3 years after its model year and was purchased for a bargain price.

This machine is currently one of my "riders" although it has been stored for varying periods and then returned to service. For details visit my Motorcycle Storage Information Page, refer to the section for "GS650G Red1."

Overshadowed by the larger and faster 1000cc and 1100cc models of its day yet still offering a very comfortable riding position, digital gear indicator, consistent and accurate fuel gauge, smooth ride and fine performance, the GS650G model is one of the great underrated machines of the early 1980's. Even after owning this machine for over 20 years I still look forward to each and every ride on it.

Mileage on the GS650 is around 20800 (33488 km).

Here's a nice image of the 650G from a ride in May, 2006. It's pictured at Echo Lake, Colorado, elevation 10597 ft (3232 meters). Click to enlarge.

This machine is also pictured on the cover of Clymer Service, Repair and Maintenance manual M364 SUZUKI GS650 1981-1983, seventh and subsequent printings starting January, 2004. Visit the Clymer website to see their fine selection of manuals.

As with other machines in the collection, the GS650G is only offered for sale via the terms and conditions detailed on my Q&A Page and associated Selling Page.
