Introduced in 1977, Suzuki’s GS550 was one of their earliest 4-stroke bikes. The 549cc engine put out 49 horsepower and the whole package weighed 431 pounds wet, good for a top speed of 111 miles per hour and a quarter-mile time under 14 seconds. It was smooth, fast, and a great all-around machine. Cycle World called it “a machine with any number of solid virtues, but they’re subtle virtues, the kind that take some familiarity to appreciate.” But you might need to throw all of that out of the window with this bike, as it’s been heavily customized by Ezikiel Dacanay into a hybrid between a board tracker and a bobber.

Modifications:
Suicide/jockey shift with integrated starter button and neutral light. It also has a kickstarter.

AMF fuel tank.

The frame was powdercoated Tiffany Blue.

Shaved forks with brass caps and Joker Machine fork boot collars. Billet triple tree and Joker Machine clip-on adapter. The sale includes clip-on handlebars as well.

Joker Machine foot mid pegs.

Joker Machine rear brake strap, Joker Machine rear brake rod assembly.

New coils and plugs.

21″ rims with new Avon Speedmaster Mk II tires.

4 into 1 open exhaust.

Currently located at our facility in Santa Monica, California, this custom GS (VIN: GS550101046) is offered on a salvaged California title with non-op registration.

This machine was featured at the 2017 OG Moto Show as well as the 2019 Quail Motorcycle Gathering, and it got mentions in a Motorcyclist story about the former and a Motorcycle Cruiser story about the latter. It’s often the center of attention, and now it can be yours!
