The '''[[Suzuki]] GS850G''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Naked [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1979 and 1988. It could reach a top speed of 126 mph (203 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 47.94 ft/lbs (65.0 Nm) @ 7500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 78.32 HP (58.4 KW) @ 8500 RPM. | |||
==Overview== | |||
The bike was designed to be a bullet proofed "sports tourer" - in the thinking of the last 1970s - and [[Suzuki|Suzuki]] pooled the best of all the features, taking the engine from the [[Suzuki GS750|Suzuki GS750]], boring it to 850 providing more torque, the shaft drive from the 1100 and various other workings. The result was a solid, smooth and effortless tourer. It could run to 60mph in 4.2 seconds, but most riders snick it into high gear and let the torque cruise you up the speedo. | The bike was designed to be a bullet proofed "sports tourer" - in the thinking of the last 1970s - and [[Suzuki|Suzuki]] pooled the best of all the features, taking the engine from the [[Suzuki GS750|Suzuki GS750]], boring it to 850 providing more torque, the shaft drive from the 1100 and various other workings.

It is quite heavy, as tourers with shaft drives are, but it feels deceptively light owing to relatively low center of gravity and steering geometry which makes it a pleasure to move in and out of traffic and obstacles. Economical, this example returns around 48 overall. | It is quite heavy, as tourers with shaft drives are, but it feels deceptively light owing to relatively low center of gravity and steering geometry which makes it a pleasure to move in and out of traffic and obstacles.

==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[air cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 69.0mm [[bore]] x 56.4mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 843.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 3.50-19 front [[tire]] and a 4.50-11 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a Telescopic Forks With 3-way Spring Preload while the rear was equipped with a Dual Shocks With 2-way Preload And 4-way Damping. The GS850G was fitted with a 6.08 Gallon (23.00 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 58.7 inches (1491 mm) long. | |||
