The SUZUKI GS650G SHAFT DRIVE Motorcycle

The 1982 Suzuki GS650G came with shaft drive, adjustable suspension (Rebound and preload in the back, and air valves on the front), double disk brakes on the front, a single disk on the back, a really cool lighted gear indicator on the dashboard, and electronic ignition, and it was quicker through the quarter mile than the BMW and Moto-Guzzi shaft-drive bikes of the era. It weighs 499 pounds with a full tank of gas. Suzuki claims it produces 72 horsepower.

 

One source clocked the 1982 Suzuki GS650G at 12.91 seconds in the quarter mile and stated the top speed was 125MPH. Period road tests say the engine burns oil. One source states on a broke in bike it burned a quart every 1,800 miles.
