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 pads
New front master cylinder
New rear master cylinder
New engine oil & filter
New air filter
New Secondary & final drive oil
Tank cleaned
Carbs cleaned & balanced (re-done last year)
Plugs cleaned & set (new iridium plugs last year)
All calipers serviced with new fluids
New AVON ROADRIDER tyres
A 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"!
