1983 Suzuki reviews

I've owned my 850 for almost 20 years. I now have 88000 miles, and no major problems. I've only had to replace the starter and rectifier, and of course, tires, brakes, and a few batteries. If you maintain it, it will probably outlive you. Probably the most reliable bike on the planet. Show less

This is my first bike, and I love it. It has only given me one problem, and that's because I forgot to make sure the bolts were all tight. Mine shakes a little at 5500 rpm, this shaking loosened the turn signal bolts and I lost one. Other than that no problems at all. It's a great bike and I love to ride it. Show less

I love this motorcycle; yet "4 stars" may lead you to believe otherwise. The 1983-ish lack of performance is the only the only thing preventing my granting of a "5 star" rating. Not one bit of trouble, though, has manifested itself within the domain of my Suzuki. Not a bit of trouble! Wait! I take that back... I DO give the bike "5 stars". I almost forgot about the (only) time I rode intoxicated and fell off - the 650G had the decency to stay on top of me; thus, resisting the (any) chunk of metal's ability to leave behind an enormous and heart-breaking amount of paint and other various expensive mechanical parts. What a pal... Yes! No doubt about it: 5 stars! Show less

I have had nothing but fun riding this bike. It has enough power to ride the highways and the finesse to handle the twisties!! Plenty of room for a passenger to ride comfortably. Low maintenance is a big plus. You will not be left behind on this bike!!!! Show less
