About this model
About the Suzuki GS 850
The Suzuki GS 850 is an air-cooled 843 cc inline-four classic motorcycle produced from 1979 to 1988. The GS series introduced Suzuki's double-overhead-camshaft four-cylinder and earned a strong reputation for reliability and handling. The GS 850 was offered in the G variant (shaft drive) and L (chain), and was a direct contemporary of the Honda CB 750 and Kawasaki Z900. With 60-72 hp and a willing character, the GS 850 was a popular sport tourer of its era.
The GS 850 appeals to classic enthusiasts looking for a robust, reliable Japanese tourer from the 1980s. The upright riding position and balanced weight distribution make it accessible for average-height riders. On longer runs the inline-four delivers enough power and torque for comfortable motorway speeds. Maintenance is straightforward: parts are readily available and the engine is known for its longevity. Comparable alternatives include the Honda CB 750 F and Kawasaki Z 750.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the shaft drive final drive (G variant) for oil leaks; the seal wears after high mileage.
- Inspect the carburettors for synchronisation and wear; all four Mikuni carbs must be balanced evenly.
- Check wheel and frame chrome for rust; bikes from damp climates are prone to corrosion.
- Ask about exhaust silencer condition; original mufflers are hard and expensive to replace.
- Inspect electrical connectors for oxidation; the system is susceptible to moisture ingress.
