The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4 wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war, Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 60s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. Better known for their two strokes Suzuki joined the four stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with the Japanese build quality and performance levels. A year later the full 1000cc version was launched setting a new benchmark in the superbike division. The GS650G was launched as a lighter weight tourer featuring Suzukis bulletproof DOHC 4 cylinder engine with shaft drive.
This bike was bought new in 1986 and used by the first owner until 1993 when it was put into storage. Uncovered earlier this year by the vendor who is now on the V5C as the second owner, he gave the bike a good clean and fitted a new battery to get the bike running but it will still need some recommissioning and an MOT before being used. It comes supplied with its original bill of sale, owners manual, service book, warranty paperwork, both keys, original V5 and a current V5C.
