'81 GS 850 GL

Three different looks, the same bike. See Bob's comments for details.

Here's more Suzuki GS info.

1981 Suzuki GS 850 GL
.
Owner: Bob Powell, Ramsey, NJ USA

Comments: ”Here's two pictures of my 1981 GS850GLX. The first one shows what it looked like in August 2003 when I bought it. The second is what it looks like today.
.
The bike is Black with Gold pinstripes and Red accents. It has just over 53,000 miles and still runs great getting about 42 mpg in town and 50 mpg on the highway.
.
I have replaced the soft saddle bags and sissy bar bag with black Vetter hard bags and trunk. The Plexiglas front fairing has also been replaced with a matching Black and Gold Vetter Windjammer IV. The highway pegs were replaced and repositioned to the engine case guard. The stock seat was replaced with a Travelcade Saddlemen Easy Chair. The tail lights on the trunk are connected using a "Back Off" brake light flasher that pulses the trunk lights while the brakes are applied. The stock horns have been replaced with Wolo air horns (not visible).
.
I have put about 11,000 miles on the bike in the last year riding back and forth to work and on vacation from MA to VA. The great thing about the GS850GLX is that it's small enough to be nimble on the back roads and yet big enough to handle the highway at 70 mph.
.
The third picture shows also the lowers to the fairing I've added and that I have moved the horns. Since this picture was taken, I have also added a CycleSound Radio mount w/240w amp. I have also removed the backrests and installed an adjustable backrest that sides forward when I ride alone and slides back when my wife rides with me. The mounts for this were already on the trunk mount.”

'81 GN 400 X

1981 Suzuki GN400 from the beginning of the eighties. It says clearly GN400X on the side cover. The Canadian modle with wire wheels (the GSX400E had cast wheels) was called GN400 without the X. Unfortunately I don't know if there are any differencies between the models.

Here's more Suzuki GN400 info.

1981 Suzuki GN 400 X

Owner: Ron Manherz, San Diego, California USA

Comments: ”This bike was purchased for $135 (not running) in January of 2004.

Since I'm a fairly technical guy, I can help others with questions on this model.

I love this little bike. My only complaints are difficulty finding neutral
(perhaps due to a weak spring) and engine vibration around 2,700 rpm. I
suppose this vibration is to be expected.

The electrical system is interesting:

The headlight is powered directly from the alternator with a bipolar 7
volt power zener diode to limit the voltage.

The ignition system is completely independent of the battery (no battery
needed).

The carburetor is a Mikuni constant velocity type with a strange little
diaphram on the right side. This little diaphram seems to lean out the idle
mixture under heavy acceleration or power, but why? I've never been able to
understand why this device is used. For consistency, I've fixed it in one
position.”

'95 GSF 400 bandit

Shopping for his first real bike, Miguel found a nice deal '94 Bandit 400. The seller had told him that it was a Japanese version of the Bandit 400 with different carbs, ECU and that revs up to 18K and puts out around 80hp... Later Miguel found out that that the bike had a GSX-R400 engine in it. He ended up buying a '95 Bandit 400 with 15,000 km on it (the picture).

Here's more Suzuki Bandit info.

1995 Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit

Owner: Miguel Shine, Portugal

Purchased: August 2004

Comments: ”I bought my bike yesterday and got really scared today when I took it to my mechanic. He found out that two of the cylinders were dead!

Checked the sparks and it wasn't it. I took it to the Suzuki dealer for an overall.

It turned out that the carbs of those cylinders were clogged, the bike had been sitting in a corner for the past three months and got residue in the carbs.

Anyway, they cleared it up and wow.... What a difference!

I haven't yet taken it up to the 13,500 rpm where it cuts off but at 10K it Rocks...

And for a bike that weighs 170 kg it sure turns really nicely...”

'03 GSX 1400 K3
.
2003 Suzuki GSX 1400

Owner: Michel Clouet, Docelles, Vosges, Lorraine, France

Comments: ”I bought this motor bike in April 2004. The model name is GSX1400K3. I simply added casters of protection and a wind change.

It is a motor bike very pleasant to control and I do not have any problem. Cheap enough for a motor bike of this gauge but a tire should be counted postpones every 5000 km!”

Here's another pic of Michel's bike.

Marco sent some beautiful studio pictures of his DR600S Dakar — and a shot from Africa!

1988 Suzuki DR 600 S

Owner: Marco Rihs, Bern, Switzerland

Purchased: May 1988

Modifications: All original except: indictors are shortened, front fender hole to cool motor better, front porter, middle stand, new saddle coating.

Comments: ”It is a very light bike for a 600.

1989 I crossed the Sahara desert from Tunisie/Tozeur over Algerie/EL-Galoa to Maroc/Beni-Ounif/Meknes. The Bike had no problems at all! Well it was almost new at that time.

Brilliant to ride! Easy to fix. Over the years most owners must fix or adjust the valve seat. The kickstart is sometimes tricky and inside-parts of the kicker tend to go unfirm.

Best Bike ever.”

Marco attached a photo of the poster for the 1989 Sahara desert race. See also the black and white picture on the left.
