1976 | GS400

Suzuki’s first 4-stroke 400 cm³ model

GS400

Because Suzuki was the last manufacturer to enter the 4-stroke 400 cm³ market there was no room for failure. Under these circumstances, the GS400 was developed featuring a DOHC engine and was the only model with this type of engine in its class. This is a 400 cm³ 2-cylinder DOHC engine featuring a 180-degree crankshaft with a vibration-cancelling balancer that generates maximum horsepower of 36 PS and maximum torque of 31.3 kg-m. The engine was paired with a 6-speed transmission for enhanced riding performance, and orthodox styling was adopted. The GS400E, which was updated with star-shaped cast wheels, debuted in 1978.
