hi there, does anyone know the name or number of this colour (or closest thing to it in the suzuki colour choice from that period), thanks.

The color code info is in the parts fishe. It's under the "optional" tab. Try Partzilla or some fishe in the UK for the info. Of course finding the color name and/or the code doesn't mean much unless your local paint supplier has a formula for that color...and that's the rub; most paint suppliers don't have formulas for old GS colors. You may be best off taking a part to the paint supply house and have them match the color. That method is more reliable than trying to find a formula most of the time.

I think there is a strong possibility that your blue is not original. All the bodywork there is pre '81, so the CV carbs indicate a 1980 model. Do you know if your bike was imported?

If it is a UK 1980 (ET) model, they were available in black, blue and red, but with quite different graphics to those you have. This is a pretty original blue one: https://picclick.co.uk/1980-Suzuki-G...487645646.html

And one in red: https://picclick.co.uk/1981-Suzuki-G...416511964.html

And a 1981 (EX) in blue:

yeah i know the bike has been through a few colour changes in its lifetime, does anyone have a colour in mind that its close too thats widely available?, a car colour or something, weird thing is despite it not being original i quite like the colour, just not the shabby manor in which the paint has been applied lol, i'd like to respray it in the same if i could figure out what it is, or something really close to it that i can buy
