Does anyone have any info on how many GS bikes Suzuki sold over the years? Preferably broken down by models and years. It's not important, I'm just curious. For instance, how many GS1100E's did they build and sell in 1981?

I've been trying to discover that information for 6 1/2 years, ever since I bought my 11E. Should you have more success than I, please share your findings.Originally posted by zuluwiz View Post1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -
a possible clue from the first page of Part fiches. The engine serial number defines which bike the fiche applies to...
frame serials might work too, but Suzuki could use the same frame for different engines. The GSX400 and the GS450 would be examples of this.
1980 GSX400 (ET and ST) Engine serial: GS40X-500001 and up
1981 GSX400 (EX and SX) Engine serial GS40X-502240 and up
so assumption has to be there's 2240 of the 1980 GSX400 ET and ST. The ST is the same bike with a small headlamp fairing.
Discovering how many 81s would want a newer fiche -1982 for these, so there's the rub.
The GSX400TX with the exact same engine has different engine serial numbers noted in the fiche.
Perhaps the real clue is that production runs are not so great. So many models! 2240 worldwide of these ones isn't unlikely. It's not a volkswagon factory after allLast edited by Gorminrider; 04-11-2020, 09:48 AM.Comment
