1979 Suzuki GS 1000 E

Owner: Neil Harding,
Middlesbrough, England
Comments: “I have attached two pictures of a GS1000EN I used to own.
This is my second GS1000. You can see a picture of my first GS1000 on page 99, it is the blue one.
I bought this black GS1000 second hand in 1985 with just over 21,000 miles on the clock. It was immaculate with polished casings etc. The seat is a two/four and the pipe is a Yoshi. The pipe fitted to this bike was
a different design than the Yoshi fitted to my earlier blue bike. It was very quite like a standard exhaust.
Me and the girlfriend/wife found the seat very comfy.
I sold the bike in 1987 with 32,000 miles on the clock. Three weeks after I sold it the new owner accelerated away from a set of traffic lights very hard and hit a Mini Estate which had turned right across his path. The GS hit the Mini hard enough to tip the car on its side. The GS buried itself in the side of the Mini and was left sticking up in the air.”

1975 Suzuki TS 250

Owner: Noel McAuley,
Southport area of Merseyside, UK
Comments: “Here are a few pictures of my '75 TS250M. This bike has covered 3,000 miles in 31 years.
I had this model in this spec and color back in 1976 also, bought with 3,000 miles on the clock.
I was searching for a yellow Yamaha DT250 when I saw this on Ebay. I could not believe my eyes! Had to have it and so I bid until I got it (£1,600) which I was pleased at as I had planned to go to £2,000.
The bike has been in storage and is unrestored and runs and sounds as my original one did back in the day.

| “The photograph was taken in the summer of 1976 outside my home. You may notice that the fuel tank has no pin strips as it was resprayed following an accident in the Autumn of 1975,” Stephen writes. |

1976 Suzuki GT 185

Owner: Stephen Corcoran,
Leeds, West Yorkshire, England
Comments: “I have attached a photograph of the GT185A that I bought from new in September 1975 for £446.00.
I had the bike for two years and after passing my bike test traded it for a Reliant 3-wheeler van, to keep dry in the poor English weather.
I remember that the bike never gave me any problems and with six gears had a top speed of about 90mph. The front brake was hydraulic unlike some others at the time which were cable operated. Another feature was the push button electric starter on the right hand handle bars. The A model had drop handle bars which gave a sporty riding position.”

1983 Suzuki GS 850 G

Owner: Vito Minneci, USA
Comments: “Here's some photos of my '83 GS850G the day I completed the restoration as an FYI.
I purchased it last year from the original owner. I have an original 1983 GS850G/GL sales brochure that came with the motorcycle.
I've repainted the bike (as it has already been repainted once) but it is all original and I run it every chance I get. It is a great bike with only 21K miles on it!”

Vito scanned his 1983 GS850G/GL sales brochure so we all can see it here.

| Here's Doug's mint condition '68 T200, the original coated fenders and all. “Later, my dealer talked me into putting on chrome fenders from the new 1969 models,” he writes. |

1968 Suzuki T 200

Owner: Doug Strange,
Kutztown, Pennsylvania USA
Comments: “Attached is a photo of my old 1968 Suzuki T200. I bought the motorcycle new in 1968 near my then home of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (USA). It is in the Candy Apple Blue paint option.
Later, my dealer talked me into putting on chrome fenders from the new 1969 models.
I traded the bike in during the summer of 1969 for a new Suzuki T500 which I still own and ride.
The T200 fate was less than good. The fellow who bought it dropped it three times within two weeks (the bike didn't have a scratch on it), then stripped it down for dirt track racing. It is most likely long gone at this date.”

1980 Suzuki GS 850 G

Owner: Terry Raven,
Montrose, Colorado, USA
Comments: “Just bought this from original owner. Pristine condition.
I was inspired to buy this because of my friend Jens from Denmark, he is currently (July 2007) touring the USA on a vintage 1979 GS1000. He said they are bulletproof.
Well, I love my GS850G already. It is smooth and quiet and very peppy even up here at 5,700 feet. Mountains are no problem and tours up to 12,000 feet are no problem either.”

| Will needed help to identify his bike. It was an easy tast, Suzuki didn't make many models with a 90cc engine. This is a '71 TS-90 Honcho. |

1971 Suzuki TS 90 Honcho

Owner: Will Kutcher, USA
Comments: “Attached is a picture of me taken in the summer of 1980.

I just came across a picture of me on my first motorcycle at the age
of 12, taken in the summer of 1980.
It was an on/off road type, 90cc, blue with a white stripe along the bottom of the tank. I cannot remember the exact year of the motorcycle.
I can only assume it's early 70's. It was old when my father bought it and he rebuilt the motor.”
