1982 Suzuki GSX / Katana

JS1GN73A4C2102501

I am a collector of the 1982 & 1983 Suzuki Katana’s , over the last 15 years I have been purchasing the nicest and lowest mileage examples of these bikes I could find. I have accumulated a lot of these motorcycles and now my final collection is complete. This Katana is one of the extras, of which I have 5, and now it’s time to let someone else enjoy them. This 1982 GS550MZ Katana is a two owner bike. The original owner purchased the bike new in 3/24/82 in Oklahoma and was sold to me upon his death in 2005. This gentleman had quite a few Katana’s and other Suzuki’s. This bike has not been rode since 1985. After it was taken off the road with 786 miles, it was stored in a shed until I purchased it. Having been stored in a shed, it accumulated some small surface rust on the frame in various spots. I partially disassembled the bike and wet sanded the rust spots, primed them and dusted in the paint to match the existing paint. It came out near perfect. While apart every part was detailed other than the body. Specifics: 786 Miles Original tires in good condition Tank is original, has a few scratches but no dents. There is surface rust in the tank that will need to be addressed. The seat has a small spot where it has rubbed through (see pics) The aluminum on the engine cases have some typical tarnish. The Exhaust is mint. Factory mirrors are missing. The bike has not been started since 1985, the engine turns over easily and is not seized. Included with the bike is the original invoice, owners manual, Suzuki service card, 2 factory keys. In short the bike is very nice, original and very presentable. It would only need to be painted to be perfect.
