| 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 4.50-16 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.
