Picked up my first GS850G yesterday and got her home! I'm excited about exploring my new '83 Suzuki. I'm certain I'll have many question as I begin learning about this bike.

Leave the "metal stuck to the back". :encouragement:Paint looks nice, everything looks nice. Once you remove that metal stuck to the back, that is.
Did you get the saddlebags that go into the brackets? :-k

Not too shabby at all! Paint looks nice, everything looks nice. Once you remove that metal stuck to the back, that is.
How's she running?
Seems to be running fine. I need to get into everything, get a new tire, do a few minor things before I'm comfortable with her on the HWG.

Hi Steve - yes, it came with perfect condition Krauser detachable bags. I'm currently removing the framework, among other bodywork to determine how far I need to investigate further. These bags are cool, although I'm not a bag guy, not sure if I'll keep them.
Beautiful bike ... I say that cuz it is and I have the same bike! I picked mine up about two years ago and love it. Searched for quite a while for one. Certainly enough power and the color scheme is one of the nicest in the GS line! I am looking for another for my riding mate, an 83 black with red model in good condition.
Congratulations again and enjoy the new ride!

Well if you do sell them, do it here and you should have NO trouble getting them sold.

1983 was a very good year for the 850's

Great looking bike. Those orig bars were too tall for me, 40 yrs. ago. Kind'f wish I had an old orig set now, they would probably fit me better since I've had all these birthdays. The back doesn't bend as much as it us'ta. Congrats, really nice.
Nice! Congratulations and enjoy.
