Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 1984 Suzuki GS550E.
The GS550 was one of Suzuki’s earliest 4-stroke bikes, and while it wasn’t as popular as its bigger brother GS750, it was still a competent standard. The 550 put out 49 horsepower and weighed 431 pounds wet, good for a top speed of 111 miles per hour.
The GS550ES model was designed to be a direct competitor to Kawasaki’s GPz. The 550ES incorporated a half fairing setup to give it a more sporting appearance and differentiate it from the standard GS550 models.
This example is VIN: JS1GN74A3F2102203. The seller purchased the bike five months ago and states, “I bought the bike with plans to keep it in Los Angeles to ride when I am in town, but I have too many bikes and, in light of the recent tragic events in LA, think that selling it with funds going to help Lalo (who has worked on many of my bikes) and his family would be a better purpose.”
The odometer shows 3,136 miles.
