1979 Suzuki GS 550 L
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
Owner: Stefan Wolf,
Bad Bentheim,
Lower Saxony, Germany
Comments: “To help you keep your great site living i decided to show up some pictures of my Suzi.
It's a Suzuki GS550 L 1979 — one of those rare first ones, build on a chopped E frame. It has a 543cc inline-four with maximum power of 35 kW at 9,200 rpm, six gears and theoretic maximum speed of 180 km/h.
I found this sleeping beauty after it has been forgotten in a garage for six years. I bought it for a nickel and a dime and rebuild it about 12 months.
It says GS550T on the side covers but it is a L model. I have just placed GS550L badges on the side covers because at that time I did not have the original L logos.
The engine hasn't been touched at all, it is still in very good shape! The bike is almost in original condition. So I hope, you'll like it - anyway I do!”

2000 Suzuki GSX 1200 Inazuma

Owner: Tony Åström, Sweden
Comments: “Hallo! I have a '00 Suzuki GSX 1200. It was tested in the German bike magazine Motorrad in July '98 and I got interested in this model; so i decided to buy one.
I did not find it in Sweden so in went to Germany and bought this one. It's a really nice bike; strong and good handling. In my opinion it's much nicer then the naked Bandit.”

Comments: “I just found your website – congratulations! It is very informative and interesting. I found some of the bikes I worked on when I started my apprenticeship at the German importer Suzuki Deutschland in 1979 as well as some of the bikes I've owned myself.
My bikes at present are: GSX-R750 K5, DR-Z400SM K5 and a '75 GT250 (still under restoration).”

1985 Suzuki GSX 750 EF (rebuilt)
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
Owner: Arto Lampinen,
Ylihärmä, Finland
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
Comments: “In the beginning my bike was a '85 Suzuki GSX 750 EF but I rebuilt it completely during the last winter. I bought it in October '05 and started rebuilding it almost right away.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
The frame is completely rebuilt. The entire lower frame is new, I made the front fork steering angle steeper and the whole front end is from a Kawasaki ZZR1100, as is the rear wheel.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
I made the rear fork wider so it could take the 180 x 17 wheel. I also had to move the drive chain line to fit the new rear wheel. It took me a few night to figure out how to do it. I welded another front sprocket onto the old one, from which I took of all its teeth. I had to cut of a piece of the frame and make a tunnel into it to create room for the chain.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
The fuel tank is partly original and the front mask is Puig Fighter, with DE lights.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
I made the exhaust system of stainless steel.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
The air filters have been replaced with washable Pipercross foam filters. I manufactured the seat myself, except for the leather, that was sewed on by a local workshop. All the electric parts were replaced by new ones and I mounted on modern head- and rear lights.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
The rebuilt bike was approved by the Finnish authority in May, I had no problems with that. After that I've ridden it thousands of kilometers with no problems.

I thank you for the enormous work you have done with your site; it's a real treasure for all Suzuki fans!”

1997 Suzuki GSF 750 Bandit
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
Owner: William R Carton,
Ballymoney, Northern Ireland
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
Comments: “My Bandit 750 has 8,000 miles on it. It's black and absolutely immaculate.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
My brother purchased the bike approximately three years ago. It caught his eye as soon as he saw it. I am unsure of the history of the bike before this.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
He was selling it as he needed a car to travel to his employment so I jumped at the chance to own such a rare model.
![](../gifs/3x3_transparent.gif)
I believe this model was exported out of Japan and very few of them reached Britain, even the main Suzuki web site doesn't recognize them; as if they never existed!”
Here's more Suzuki Bandit info.
I believe this was one of the so-called grey import models that were not officially imported by Suzuki into UK.
