The '''[[Suzuki]] GS550L''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Classic [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1977 and 1986. It could reach a top speed of 110 mph (177 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 36.88 ft/lbs (50.0 Nm) @ 8000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 66.51 HP (49.6 KW) @ 10000 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a oil & [[air cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 60.0mm [[bore]] x 50.6mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 572.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-plate type. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 100/90-1654h front [[tire]] and a 130/90-1667h rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The front suspension was a  telescopic, pneumatic/ coil spring, oil dampened while the rear was equipped with a full- floating suspension system. The GS550L was fitted with a 2.4 Gallon (9.08 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 410.06 pounds (186.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 56.89 inches (1445 mm) long.

The Suzuki GS 550 L is a typical representative of the so-called soft- chopper generation (construction period from 1979 to 1984). Originated from the successful and more sporty 550 E , the 550 L has an extended fork, a chopper steering wheel, a reduced tank and a bench seat.The L models of the GS series enjoyed great popularity, particularly in their "large" variants 750 L, 850 L and 850 GL, 1000 L and 1000 GL as well as 1100 L and 1100 GL, particularly on the US market , Which also explains their long construction period. The end of the GS series represents the futuristic styled GSX 1100 Katana.
