1982 Suzuki GS850 review from United States of America
"The best bike I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing.
I have been restoring minor wear and tear items, but nothing significant.
It was well cared for since 1982 and is now pampered.
General comments?
Very loyal machine. Big, heavy and fast enough for excitement. Makes long trips a joy.
All the reviews were accurate, it's a long running, low cost cruiser.
At this point, it's old enough to tinker with occasionally, but no heavy repairs are on the horizon.
Other bikes may come and go, but this one will be in my garage forever.
