1982 Suzuki GS750E Review - Riding the best 750 motorcycle of 1982!

In this video, I am riding and reviewing Suzuki's1982 GS750E (or GSX750E). How does the best 750cc motorcycle of 1982 measure up today? What set the GS750E apart and why was it rated best in class in 1982? Ride along with me and let's find out together!

I have been working on this project Suzuki for quite some time, getting it back into shape after years of neglect by previous owners. I will be releasing a series of videos on the process of restoring this machine to it's former glory so be sure to subscribe if you're a Suzuki GS750E fan!

I owned 2 of these bikes, a '79 and an '81. Both were great bikes .

Had my 82 gs 750 for over two years now still in love with it.

I`ve been hoarding a 1979 GS 750 for the past 5 years and I pulled it out of mothballs, changing all its fluids and going thru the carbs, oil change, new battery etc. Put some pure gas in it and it kickstarted 2 kick, how neat is that? It has a retro plum color with gold flames custom paint job from back in the day that has held up well. I`ll prolly be selling it after I get my yayas out. Your review gives an excellent and accurate overview of this motorcycle, They have good power and ergonomics for a classic, and are a blast to ride.

That model down-here (NZ) was a GSX750, the GS's all had the round cam-cover-end, I owned both . GS's are rapidly climbing in price, many of the bikes I've owned, you feature on your reviews, are worth crazy-money now, I hope you kept a few ! You definitely love your multi-cyl bikes, my passion was more for the singles and twins . Dave

My first bike ever was the 1982 GS650. Looked identical, except mine had the chrome fenders

[andrewclemetson]

Can't wait for the upgrade videos. I'm about to get one on the road soon. 19, 000 miles.

[joachimlindback]

Thanks. Makes me wonder how many years the metal, plastics and rubber bikes are made of can last.

I love the old GS-X, but the best 750 of 1982 was undoubtedly the GPZ750R1, factory ported head, 34mm carbs and over 80hp, it was the fastest and best handling 750 in 1982 ....

I had one of these a few years back, I think it was an '81 with the lunchbox headlight. (I much prefer the round headlight!) It was a great bike, but it always felt just a tad too big and top-heavy for me. It was also in near-perfect cosmetic condition and I was always paranoid of dropping or scratching it. Ended up selling it. Now I have a 1979 850G with a bunch of upgrades, so it's hard to call it a '79. This one is much more my style, I plan on keeping and riding it forever.

Jon. When this bike came out Cycle Guide featured it in their magazine. They did a top-end teardown of the engine, and compared it with the KZ1000. There were lots of similarities, even up to valve angles. Of course, it was a better handler than the Kawasaki.
Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

[Rongturn]

Superb video “ wish I could find a unmolested gs in England ‘ seems some people chopped then into cafe racers and ruined them 😖

[roberthale]

I have 1981gs750L. I Love mine the way it handles is great. I won't part with mine.

[rickiejacobs]

I had a 1982 GS650L the cruiser style one with shaft drive. My first and only Suzuki which I bought in 2001. Got a lot of parts from EBay. Sold it in 2008 and have not had a motorcycle since. Getting the itch to get another bike. There is a 1982 GS750T for sale one owner with 8000 miles and looks good in the pictures.not sure what the difference from the E to the T.
