Forget the rest of the crud out there for sale (and there aren't many anyway). This is a properly sorted & nice genuine GS850 & pretty scarce. Offered in excellent condition throughout (The UBER rare original twin exhaust system is about as near to perfect as any I have seen!) this lovely "SHAFTIE" low maintenance Suzuki is ready to ride & enjoy & having ridden it today to take photos & video it is a dream.
Originally from USA (hence no rust) it was imported by DK Motorcycles to UK in 2016 with 21,995 miles, when the 1st owner set about a gentle enthusiasts light restoration to include:New battery (Motobat)New rear shocks & brake padsNew front master cylinderNew rear master cylinderNew engine oil & filterNew air filterNew Secondary & final drive oilTank cleanedCarbs cleaned & balanced (re-done last year)Plugs cleaned & set (new iridium plugs last year)All calipers serviced with new fluidsNew AVON ROADRIDER tyresA myriad of other minor bits (a lot of man hours worth!) then MOT'd to check all good & passed in 2016. The paintwork I believe is all original & fairing very well for being 43 years old, with very very minor patina anywhere.I have 2 keys (1 key fits all locks), Toolkit, invoices for all work/parts done, all correct dating paperwork with a letter from Suzuki confirming correct VIN etc. & is now registered as an historic vehicle with no tax or MOT due.The 2nd owner has ridden & enjoyed the bike since his ownership in October '22 (when restoration works were finished & fresh MOT obtained having covered a mere 140 miles!) & he has covered 1,000 miles of gentle fair weather riding over his 3 years of ownership.I have just finished detailing the bike & I can confirm there is no rust, brightwork is excellent, seat is like new, wheels are lovely (as is the previously mentioned exhaust) gear indicator still works & overall the bike is in extremely original sorted condition running sweetly & quietly with a very slick gearbox & an absolute pleasure & effortless to ride motorcycle that belies its age.This bike represents an awful lot of practical motorbike ownership for, in my humble opinion, extremely good value, & is ready for the next custodian to enjoy on a sunny outing to be admired by all who see her ... "Black Beauty"!
