Vehicle Information
Suzuki GS550 Motorcycle - Street (1972-1986)
The Suzuki GS550, produced from 1977 to 1986, was a prominent middleweight four-cylinder motorcycle. Initially launched in 1977, it featured an air-cooled, 549cc inline-four DOHC engine, typically delivering 49 horsepower. This model was designed to compete in a growing market segment. Throughout its production, the GS550 saw several key developments. In 1978/1979, Suzuki introduced the sportier GS550E, distinguished by alloy wheels and a rear disc brake, alongside the cruiser-styled GS550L. Minor adjustments were made to the GS550L in 1982, including brake system revisions. A significant update occurred in 1986, exclusively for the GS550L, where the engine displacement increased to 572cc, boosting power output to 68 horsepower. Other trims like the GS550M Katana and GS550T were also offered during its run. Frequently Asked Questions:
