1990 Suzuki GS450E review from South Africa
"I like this bike, and look forward to the day I am able to undertake an extended journey with it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The fuel tank float ceased to indicate the fuel level. The dealer attempted to repair it, but unfortunately was not able to. This occurred at approximately 82 000km.
General comments?
I find this to be an extremely comfortable bike to ride.
The braking leaves much to be desired.
The engine sounds smooth and the sound from the exhausts is a healthy roar.
