Which model is my GS? E or L?

[blowerbike]

Have seen a 750 shaft.
It had the bodywork like a ES.
Was local on C-list a few years back. I first thought it was a 700.
I think it was a 83

prove it

After trying to verify on google seem like a few 750 shafties.
Must be joking and I did not get it

prove it

There was a 750G, but it was for the Japanese home market only.

i was just saying through all my travels i had never seen a US model GS 750 shaft bike.

My eyes are going dizzy from trying to find a google pict of a 83 se or es shaft drive 750.
Will keep searching more but I am thinking I may be wrong on a 16 valve bodywork GS 750 shaft.

I will agree with you on that part.

On the other hand, there are those that have never seen an 850GK, either.
My fairing isn't quite right, but the back end is all official Suzuki.

Still looking to no avail.
I remember the add to some extent.
The price was under 2000.
The bike looked well taken care of..
I remember he said it was extremely rare. (know how that goes though)
Possibly it was a 700 shaft drive that I also cannot find?
Here we go again!


P.S. Still saving and looking into the polaris RR also.

Are you sure you were not looking at a Honda?

Yamaha imported a 900 Seca in 1983 (it was available in Europe, Australia, and South Africa for years though) that was shaft drive and somewhat resembled a 1983 GS750E. It is quite rare in the USA. Perhaps one of these is what you saw in the ad.

1983 Yamaha XJ900R Seca:



1983 Suzuki GS750E:




You can look all you want, but you will never find a 1983 GS750 shaft drive bike in the USA or Canada. Ain't no such critter ever existed. You might as well be looking for a sasquatch.

They were Japanese market. I've never seen one, except for in photos. I think that there are a few of them in the USA. I HAVE seen some 750cc KZ1000s, in the USA, at a Cycle shop in Upland, CA in the 80's.

this is a GS site based in the USA..hehe
other makes/models/countries don't count

My mom's neighbor has a 900 Seca that just sits on his driveway covered, all year long. I need to go save that beauty!
