The Suzuki GS650G was a shaft drive model produced both as a sports model, the GS650G Katana and a custom model the GS650GL. Both had the same air/oil cooled 8-valve four-cylinder 73 hp engine. The custom styled GS650GL, aimed from the American and European market, was manufactured between 1981 and 1983. As far as I know it was never sold in Japan.
