More about this bike
Listing details from the bike's own eBay listing: Year: 1981; Make: Suzuki; Model: GS550L; Mileage: 8,330 miles; Engine: 550 cc; Type: Standard/Naked; Color: Black. Up for sale is a lightly restored 1981 Suzuki GS550L with 8300 miles on it. Everything works as it should. New tires! Ready to ride. Great first bike or reliable commuter or cruiser. Has a few tank blemishes, and small dings, bright work cleaned up well. Engine cases have usual corrosion. Ride as is, or do a full aesthetic restoration. Pretty firm on price. Previous buyer backed out because a sluggish tachometer issue popped up. I will attempt to rectify this. - Fresh Oil and Filter - New tire with new tube - New Ignition Coil - New battery - New Rear Tire - New Murray's Twin Carb Kit - Rear brake light switch - New Hand Grips with Bar Ends - New Front Fork Oil - Rebuilt Front Caliper with New Brake Line - New Rear Brake Pads - Fresh Brake Fluid Front and Rear
What the photos show
- Suzuki GS550L cruiser in black with gold pinstriping, small flyscreen and a chrome rear grab rail.
- Black paint and chrome present clean and glossy, with light tarnish on the engine cases in close-ups.
- Inline-four engine is shown with a non-standard-looking single carb and intake setup — worth asking the seller about.
- Cast wheels wear near-new-looking tires, with moulding pips still visible on the sidewalls.
- Stepped black seat looks intact with no visible tear, and both mirrors and all indicators are present.
- Gauges read 08330, fuel gauge shows near empty, and a Wisconsin title photo is included with odometer marked exempt.
- Can't judge cold start, running, charging or carb tuning from photos alone.
Money: $2,250 buys a tidy GS550L showing 8,330 miles with fresh-looking tires — verify the carb conversion runs cleanly, hear a cold start, and check the title transfer before bidding.
