GSX 750EF same as GS 750E ?

[bccap]

I am painting my 1983 gs75e and have located some gsx750ef decals. Seems to me I heard somewhere that this is the same model sold somewhere else but Canada. Does anybody know ?

[saffa]

check here ....

just find the model on the left of the screen http://www.suzukicycles.org/All-Suzu...ki_models.html

Isn't GSX750EF a later Katana? It would not be the early 80's Kat but the later, full body covered Kat. Or maybe I'm full of it.

That would be a gsx750f. 1988 to 2006. Known as a teapot to Saffa...

Yes, but not in the U.S. We had no 750's here in '84, and it was a 700 here in '85 only.

Well see, you learn something every day. A teapot, huh? I thought that was a GT750. But I guess that would be a kettle. I had one of them and loved it....

Some pics from the site linked to

83 GSX750ES

84 GSX750ES

85 GSX750EF
Same as mine
Little side thing,seen an original paint one yesterday

86 GS750ES
Available in Canada that year thus a GS
GSX seems to be a plain bearing designation everywhere but North America.

[saffa]

The GS was the designation for the old 8 valvers whilst the GSX was the 16 valver everywhere except in the US for some unknown reason

Dunno why......

Near as can figure from that site is that the F means fairing. But then they don't list my bike either.

[sparki]

thought "E" was naked, while an "EF" was a half faired thing.....

Looks like I am still looking for decals. The ones I found were at Anderson Vintage Cycles, which I just found on the deadbeat thread. Oh well maybe I'll just go without the 750E on the side covers.

Check this place out,linked to me on my local bike forum http://www.kz900.com/decals/suz/decals-suz-gs750.html Sadly they only have the red ones

In New Zealand the "E" was naked, the "ES" was half faired and the "EF" was fully faired

That's as I understand it works every where...E= naked, S= Sport (half fairing), F=full fairing.

But these letters shouldn't be confused with the letter used to designate the model year. i.e 83=D, 84=E, 85=F, 86=G, 87=H (goes off the rails after 87).

Also other letters used to designate other differences. i.e shaft drive=G, Apehangers & bent banana seats =L (for LOL) etc
