Re: Anyone know this bike?
With out seeing the reg , little chance of knowing.... However the dealer listed it as an EZ to start with , but when I sent him a message to say that the EZ was a different. Engine etc , he changed the listing and thanked me... I mention it because as a Suzuki dealer you'd expect him to know , But more importantly ....he thanked us. And acted straight away.
So maybe the dealer is a chap who can be dealt with.

Was a decent shop about 25 years ago when they had proper Suzuki trained personnel working for them. Was a regular haunt of mine back then....boy did I get a shock when I went back about 3 years ago.

Re: Anyone know this bike?
A perusal of the pictures available reveals a few interesting things. Uncut rear mudguard, original style emblems, modern tyres.
The seat is from an import and the seat cowl is black from an SD Model.
Without seeing the clocks more cant be gleaned.
As for price,against the highly over priced tat alongside it on eBay , it is seems good.........but I struggle to justify anything over 3 grand for a vehicle over 30 years old ....personally. But to me a vehicle is a vehicle for transportation. The katana is just such but one that give me some kudos!

Re: Anyone know this bike?
also to be noted, rectangular mirrors indicate its an import as britains bizarre c+u regs meant that uk models had to have to have the round chrome mirrors off the gs1000 cos theyre longer.
and are you sure that mudguard isnt cut down a bit? i cant remember now!
