Just took delivery of my 1983 Suzuki gs450L last week. Had planned to sell it as I´d gotten a new 2013 Star 650 Custom unexpected. but after riding the 450 I was impressed with it´s overall performance and especially that 6th speed really adds to its cruising ability. Overall, Id´ give it a good 8 out of 10 for a bike this size. Plan to keep it and cherry it out.
