gs suzuki's are well known to be running tight with up to 100k on the odometer before problems. They cost much less than old honda cb's. E models are pretty sporty. The 550 is at about bonnie as far as engine performance. Suspension is a little behind on L models e models a little better. Gs1000 have a cult following and have the 1 liter sport bike engine nice upright seating just a nice standart bike. I trying to decide on a new bike for myself a v-strom or to restore a yosh replica gs1000
