WITH SUPER LOW MILES OF 6,394 MAKES THIS AN EVEN GREATER FIND. THESE WERE ONLY MADE FOR A FEW YEARS IN THE USA AND THE ONLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BIKE SUZUKI EVER MADE. IM SURE ALOT OF YOU HAVE HEARD OF HONDAS HONDAMATICS. I HAVE BEEN INTO BIKES MY WHOLE LIFE AND RESTORED ALL KINDS OF MODELS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE. THEY ARE THE SAME ENGINE AS THE STANDARD POPULAR GS450 LINE ON THE TOP END. ALSO A PLUS IS THEY ARE SHAFT DRIVE. VERY LIGHT AND LOW SEAT HT. VERY SNAPPY FOR A AUTO ALSO . THEY ONLY WEIGH IN AT ABOUT 430 LBS AND HAVE 44 HP. ALL WHILE GETTING ABOUT 60 MPG !!! SEAT HEIGHT IS A SUPER LOW 30 INCHES ! GREAT FOR BEGINNERS ,WOMEN AND OR OLDER PEOPLE THAT WANNA RIDE AGAIN TOO WITHOUT ALL THE SHIFTING AND HEAVY BIKES.. OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. I RIDE A VMAX AND I TOOK THIS BIKE OUT FOR ABOUT A 20 MILE RIDE AND IT WAS A REAL GREAT BIKE TO RIDE. SMOOTH AS SILK AND NIMBLE. RIDES BEAUTIFUL.. THEY HAVE 2 SELECTIONS LOW AND HIGH, NO HAND CLUTCH , AND A SPECIAL TORQUE CONVERTER THAT YOU CAN PUT IN EITHER GEAR TO START OUT. FRONT DISC BRAKE AND REALLY NICE STYLE OVERALL, I MEAN LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY.... NOW ON TO SHAPE. YOU CAN SEE I PUT UP ALOT OF PICS AND IN GENERAL THIS BIKE IS ACTUALLY IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH SOME FLAWS FROM JUST SITTING IN SHED WHERE I FOUND HER, WITH A TON OF DUST. WAS SITTING SINCE 2003 WHEN THE WOMAN I GOT IT FROM HUSBAND PASSED AWAY FROM ILLNESS. SHE JUST GOT UP NERVE TO SELL IT NOW YEARS LATER. IT DID HAVE STABIL PUT IN TANK AND BATTERY REMOVED. BASICALLY IT WAS JUST REALLY DIRTY LIKE I SAID AND HAS A FEW SCUFFS AND BLEMISHES FROM SITTING ALL THAT TIME... SO I GOT BIKE, REBUILT CARBURETORS, NEW BATTERY, NEW PLUGS AND RINSED TANK OUT. THE BIKE STARTS RIGHT UP AND PURRS LIKE A KITTEN. ENGINE SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL. THE GUY THAT HAD IT HAD A BAD BACK SO HE MADE A "SISSY" BAR FOR HIS SPOT ON SEAT, SO I TOOK OF AND THE SEAT HAD A FEW HOLES IN COVER FROM THAT, I JUST PUT BLACK SILICONE IN THE HOLES AS THE REST OF SEAT IS PERFECT AND TO KEEP COSTS DOWN. ALSO HE HAD A TRUNK HE MADE ON IT AND HE CUT A SQUARE OUT OF REAR SEAT COWL, REALLY NOT THAT NOTICABLE THAT ITS WRONG. AND THE TOPS OF MUFFLERS LOOK LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO CLEAN SOMETIME WITH A WRONG REAL ROUGH PAD AND THEY ARE SCRATCHED THERE. THE EXHAUST IS VERY NICE OTHER THAN THAT AND RUST FREE. ITS ONE OF THOSE THINGS ACTUALLY FROM LIKE 15 FEET AWAY IT LOOKS GREAT EVEN THE SCRATCHED AREA. COULD BE RE-CHROMED WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO CAUSE THEY ARE GRAT OTHER THAN THAT, NO DENTS OR DEEP SCRATCHES AT ALL. TRIED TO SHOW ALL THIS IN PICS. THIS IS THE ONLY REAL BAD POINTS AND THE CASES ON THE ENGINE AND SOME ON FORKS HAS SPOTS WHERE CLEAR COAT IS TARNISHED FROM SITTING ON THE ALUMINUM, TYPICAL OF ANY BIKE THIS AGE. . USUALLY I REMOVE THIS AND POLISH TO LOOK LIKE NEW BUT I WANTED TO LEAVE THIS BIKE ALL ORIGINAL FOR THE NEW PROUD OWNER AND TO KEEP COSTS DOWN. THESE ARE ITS ONLY FLAWS THAT YOU CAN FIX AND THEN BIKE REALLY WOULD LIKE NEW OVERALL !! THE REST OF CHROME ON BIKE AS FAR AS FENDERS, ORNAMENT PIECES AND SUCH LOOK GREAT. THE WHEELS ARE WHAT REALLY MAKE VINTAGE BIKES LIKE THIS WITH CHROME SPOKED WHEELS AND THESE ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION !! THE FACTORY PAINT ON TANK AND SIDE COVERS SHINES LIKE NEW WITH A FEW STONE CHIPS AND MINOR SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE. ONE SPOT RIGHT BY CAP LOOKS IT HAD FUEL SPILLED ON IT AND HAZED IT A LITTLE BUT YOU ONLY SEE IN CERTAIN LIGHT AND IT MAY BUFF OUT. THE FACTORY DECALS AND EMBLEMS LOOK AWESOME. THE TIRES ARE BOTH ABOUT 90 % TREAD. ALL CONTROLS LOOK LIKE NEW. ALL LIGHTS, HORN SHIFTER LIGHTS , GAUGES ETC ALL LOOK AND WORK LIKE NEW !! STARTS RIGHT UP, IDLES AND PURRS LIKE A KITTEN. INSIDE OF GAS TANK LIKE NEW. NO LEAKS AND TRANSMISSION IS VERY SMOOTH. SUPER SMOOTH SHAFT DRIVE AND BRAKES WORK GREAT. SUPER CLEAN BIKE IN GENERAL..ALSO HAS A LIKE NEW NATIONAL CYCE WINDSCREEN AS YOU CAN SEE, HAS A FEW SCUFFS IN IT DOWN LOW. SO THATS ABOUT IT. IF YOU WANT A VERY RARE SUPER NICE BIKE THIS IS IT AND WITH THESE MILES THE BIKE IS BARELY BROKE IN !! LOOK AT PICS, I TRIED TO SHOW THE FLAWS MENTIONED AS WELL AS THE BEAUTY IF THIS BIKE. DO NOT MISS THIS !! VERY LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!! SEE MY OTHER AUCTION FOR A 1979 GS425 TOO THAT HAS SUPER LOW MILES, RUNS GREAT BUT NEEDS ALOT OF COSMETIC TLC... THANKS ALOT AND GOOD LUCK.... On Aug-04-10 at 07:21:58 PDT, seller added the following information: ALSO FORGOT TO AD... THE CHROME CAPS THAT GO SWINGARM BOLT LOCATION WERE MISSING ON THIS BIKE IN PICS.
