1982 Suzuki GS850GLZ Maroon with just over 500 miles Like new! Where to start? This is a beautiful, unmolestered all original unrestored 1982 Suzuki GS850GLZ in Mint - Showroom condition. It has just over 500 original miles, (Sorry the photo was taken a week ago and it had 482 on the clock then) It has been kept in a climate controlled environment for 99% of its life. The paint is 100% perfect, the bike runs beautifully and has been maintained meticulously for over 32 years. I came across the bike a few years ago, I collect and restore 82's, and as soon as I saw this one I knew it was special. The previous owner bought this new in 1984, rode it for about 100 miles and was scared of it. So it was used sparingly a few times just ride around the block so i heard and kept in a climate controlled garage in Nevada for most of its life. The man unfortunately passed away and his estate was being sold off, and I managed to grab it. It came with the Original title which was signed over by his wife, the bike Manual, the crate checklist from when it was new and a shop Manual. I had it shipped to me, and its been kept in my garage vacuum sealed for most of its time since. The bike is registered to me, so i am the 2nd Owner. It gets started every weekend, and taken out every other. during the Spring and Summer. The oil is changed before it goes into vacuum, and immediately after. The mileage has not been altered, no major work apart from maintenance has been done...it is completely 100% original right down to the last nut and bolt. The carbs do get removed before storage also, and cleaned throughout the winter before they go back on. I have been restoring GS's for a time now, and I've always been afraid to touch this one as its completely factory...I've sold my restoration on here and other Auction sites, so please if you do need a restoration done...you can send me your details and I can send you some examples :) Now, I will point out 2 things...The front and rear Calipers where the bleed valve is does have some minor loose paint as brake fluid eats anything it touches. There must have been a brake fluid change done wrong before it got to me and its eaten some of the paint. The other is there is the smallest touch of rust no bigger than a penny just under the seat. A little moisture must have crept in somewhere along the way, but it can be treated without any compromise to the bike. And lastly...the tires are not the originals, somethings just have to be given up...they were not bad at all, they were the original Dunlop Qualifiers, but they showed some age and made the bike look bad, so i had them replaced with Dunlop Elites with the RWL. So... She is ready to run, it has a new battery which i always put in before I sell any of my bikes2 sets of keysTitle/Registration (Registration is in my name which is required by the DMV to re-register the bike in the buyers name, the Titles in RI don't mean a thing, please check your State requirements before purchase)Shop Manual/Crate Manual/Owners Manual and a cool Suzuki poster given to the original owner when the bike was bought...(its the same image of the bike)Comes with the original rear grab pillion bar, the image has a parcel sissy.New front and rear tires. And I've probably missed something out, maybe a lot so please send me any questions you have I would be more than to help you. When the sale is final, I will also help by giving $150 towards any shipping costs, as i know how much that can be an issue for some folk.
