    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Thanks for clearing up the year Leon. I figured you were right after the paint scheme comment but then was confused by the data plate.
 
Occasionally, the year it gets registered doesn't align with the model year. So it's legally an '82 if the title says so, but for all purposes Suzuki, it's an '83. Well, not really an '83, it's a D.

That theory doesn't hold water, because my 82 was still new, in the shipping crate in 1985, prior to me buying it from the dealer.
So that would have been it's first year of being registered, making my 82, an 85?
I don't think so. It has always been registered as an 82, in all 3 states I have lived in.

Yeah, I should have said the year the title was issued, not the year it was registered.
 
Welcome to the forum. i was born in Owensboro and grew up on the Indiana side (Evansville). I will second what others have said. You have a very nice looking bike that is going to turn heads as is. A 30+ year old bike that looks showroom new is much more rare and gets more attention than just another old motorcycle that someone has chopped and/or painted up. Shine it up and take it to a couple of "bike nights"; you'll see what I'm talking about.

Given your location you do not have much excuse for not making the Tina Wasserot ride in Bedford in June.

In fact I ride through your county and cross the bridge at Hawesville on my way up from Florida most years.

To confirm what others have said:
GLD
THe D indicates an 83 model (Z would be 82).
G is shaft drive. L is the cruiser-SteppedSeat-MoreChrome-SmallerTank-LeadingAxleFork model.

Really nice fairly stock bike.
Hack it up and help raise the value of the few remaining survivors.
