1981 Suzuki GS550E, 549cc. Registration number NET 262X. Frame number GS550E-145607. Engine number GS550-201459.
The GS550 was launched in Japan in June 1977 as a new member of the four-stroke engine GS family. In 1978 the GS500E was launched, replacing the GS550. The model had light alloy wheels and a disc brake at the rear, apart from the wheels and the brakes, the models were quite similar. The engine was an air-cooled 549cc inline 4, DOHC, 8 valves, producing 49 hp @ 9 000 rpm. Little changed apart from colours and in 1982 the GS550L was introduced.
NET has MOT history back to 1989 when it was 4,806 miles, Robert Smith of Hull bought it in 1992 when the mileage was 11,552. Our vendor bought it in 1993 when the mileage had increased to 13,077. Over the years it has been used occasionally as other bikes came and went so by 2021 the mileage had increased to 23,752, today it is 23,763. In 2012 he had the bike restored with new paint work and 2019 a Boyer ignition system was fitted.
It is now being sold due to lack of use.
Sold with the V5C, V5, old MOT's back to 1992, and various receipts, there are no keys. It will require recommissioning before road use.
The bike has compression, at present the key is missing but we hope to have it by the auction day
