Overview[edit | edit source]
Suzuki GSX 400F
Although the model name GSX400F ceased to exist after 1982,
whereafter the GSX400FW was released with a liquid cooling system,
the model suddenly reappeared in 1988 (with internal GK74A code).
With the engine of GSX-R400R, as well as the frame and fairing from
GSX600F, Suzuki introduced this as a low-cost medium-sized touring
motorcycle in the Japanese market.
The bike was quite large and comfortable, as the 600-cc motorcycle,
but the engine was too weak, and as a result the model never became
popular.
It was available during the 1988-1989 model years.
