They've always had 6 gears. (Our beloved GS500 any how)

1976

First 4 cycle Suzuki models were the 76 GS400 and GS750 bikes.  The GS400 was a 6 speed.

If you want to know about old GSs, go to gsresources.com.  They don't cover the GS500 though because it's too modern for them.   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
