SUZUKI GS 400 E (1991-1992) Specs, Performance & Photos

For 11 years, from 1976 until 1987, Suzuki manufactured the GS line of motorcycles, all of which were powered by four-stroke air-cooled engines with displacements between 250cc and 1100cc.

In 1976, Suzuki offered the GS 400, GS 550, and GS 750, which were similar in design, with two-valve per cylinder, double overhead camshafts, telescopic fork, and packed an electric starter.

In 1991, Suzuki launched the GS 400 E, an authentic V-twin engine motorcycle packed with a European flavor.

The model was powered by a 400cc engine that generated high torque at low rpm, packed in a durable angular pipe cradle frame, with a large-capacity 17-liter fuel tank, a specially shaped seat for tandem touring, and grab bars, which overall generated a natural and comfortable riding position with fun-to-ride experience for touring and city streets.

In the power department, the 399cc four-stroke two-cylinder air-cooled engine with a power output of 39 hp at 9,500 rpm and 31 Nm (23 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 169 kg (373 lbs), the 1991 Suzuki GS 400 E registered a top speed of 165 kph (102 mph).

The model featured disc brakes and wide tires both front and rear, for better cornering and riding performance.
