    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

For those curious on how many bikes of your specific model rolled off the Suzuki production lines, it's listed on bikebandit.com!!!

Just go to the OEM parts section, choose your bike, and then click on "preface". Scroll to the bottom of this page, and low and behold......... it will list the first frame number from that specific model, and it will list the first frame number of the next model that came out.

AWESOME!!!!

I find it very interesting only 15,994 1978 GS550E's were made!!!!!

Very cool. I have one of them sitting in my barn, lol.

Actually I took a look at this...it's far less if they went sequentially.

The breaks in the code are by year. Pull the 'preface' for any 77-79 GS550 and you get the same data.

B - 1977
C - 1978
N - 1979

I believe these are correct...so if all the bikes fit into those numbers there, they made only 15994 GS550 in TOTAL from 77-79...unless the last code there was the 'first' serial number to go off, not the last.

I think all of these are the first that rolled off. I say that because the GS550EC is listed as GS550E-100001.

The EC was the first 550 "E" model

I agree, those numbers are the starting point for production.
I highly doubt that Suzuki made 2 million 1000G's in the three years that model was made.
 
I'm sure the numbers for your 77 750 are there my man!

The sheet listed above is for the 77-79 550's only.

By the way......... I believe the 77 750 is regarded as the "quintessential" GS to have if you are into collecting. It's kind of like having a 69 CB750. So hold on to it!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be interesting to see the numbers made on this classic GS.
