Bought this as my first bike in 96 for $650. Had 22,000 miles. Sold it for $650 with 56,000 miles in 99. Went everywhere on the thing. Never broke down. Of course replaced the stator and alternator once, but overall did not spend much on the bike maintainance wise. Highly recommend!... read more

I have put over 3000 miles on it since then and I am pleased with this bike all except for the ride on long hauls.The seat could have a little more padding.For anyone looking for a good bike I would recomend this bike.... read more

I just bought a 1982 GS650GLZ in late September so I haven't ridden it much, only 350 miles before storing it for winter. Bought it from a guy just before he was to put an ad in the paper. It only had 5,478 miles with only two owners, he owned it since 1986. He basically rode it around his large farm more than the street hence the low miles. The bike was carbon up but other wise in good shape and stock everything, no mods. It wasn't ridden for two years and needed a rear tire, taillight and air cleaner. The carbs were not gummed up and it doesn't leak oil. Not bad for $700.00. I give it 4 stars, for now, until I ride it more in the spring.

I purchased a 1982 GS 650GZ model so my Grandson and I could do some short day and weekend tours. The bike had 11,300 miles on it and was basically clean as a pin. It ran well and had no electrical problems. I changed oil to Mobile One, change fork oil and changed final drive oil to a synthetic brand. I added a short, clear shield also. It goes like stink and is a smooth as can be. It has no 'jacking' tendencies like you hear about on BMW's. We (my Grandson and I) are more than pleased with it. For $900 plus T-T&L how can you go wrong! My Grandson asked me 'Grandpa, do you think we could have got a better bike for $900?' Nope, don't think so.

The GS650G is a fast classic with a bulletproof Suzuki 4-cylinder motor. Although there are lots of charging problems, after-market suppliers can now fix them for a reasonable price. I highly recommend this bike to anyone who wants to ride a reliable and inexpensive bike.... read more
