1978 Suzuki GS-550 now comes two ways: Fast and Sassy

Suzuki's sassy new GS-550E is a GS-550 of another color. Namely black. Besides a racy paint job, the "E" also Sports mag-style wheels, plush step-style custom seat and hefty disc brakes front and rear. Other than those items, both GS-550 models are equipped alike. Which is to say, they're well-equipped. Both get their kick from a 4-cylinder Dual Overhead Cam engine. Which delivers continuous power from 1st-gear crawling to 6th gear flying. Four 22mm Mikuni carbs provide perfect feeding habits for the beast. As you might expect, the 4-stroke powerhouse is quick (its quarter times are in the 13-second bracket). Which is good to know when you're passing, say, a fat truck on a skinny road...
