Thanks for posting Grog.

GS's and GSX's are part of my motorcycling history as well. After a couple of two stroke trail bikes, my first road bike was a GS400 - basically half a GS750 motor.

From there I progressed to a 1978 GS1000 and then the 1981 GS1000G which I still have on historic registration.

The GSX1400 K5 completed my Suzuki purchases.

Thanks DP1400 and Grog.

I'm now starting to enjoy swapping back and forth between the K5 and the GS1000G.

The GS1000G is at least 25kg heavier than the 1402 and you can't beat a hydraulic clutch and fuel injection.
