Roger Luff	My GN400 1984 in Spain about 60 km in front of the Portugese border.
Steve in Missouri USA	Been a great bike the SUZUKI GN400. Bought it from the local Honda dealer, used, for $250.00US. Only has about 6500 miles on it. I added drag bars, tuned up, lowered fork tubes, etc. Been a great bike, possibly one of my all time favorites. These are really good bikes, have a lot of character (how many bikes these days have a ritual just to start them ?) and are a blast, overall. I do not ride at night, so the electrics are of little concern. I hear they are not so hot, but the rest of the bike makes up for it.
Jon Kusler, WA, USA (3krauts @ fidalgo.net)	My 1981 GN400L model has 10,000 miles on it total and I get approx 65mpg. Got the tank and sidecovers done over in gloss black. I cheated on the cases and forks with Yamaha engine case paint. I totally enjoy riding the little GN400 on back roads and it gets alot of looks as there isn't hardly any single cylinder road bikes on the road today.
Rob from Melton Mowbray	GN400 with hard tail back end.
Patrick Renaud	Look at my gn 400 33ch 51000km, I live in Paris, France

Shofferis	This is my first bike Suzuki-Gn400 (1983). All my dreams came true with this one! (Vilnius city, Lithuania). Shofferis @ mail.lt
Jan Keevel	After about 20 years without a bike (and drowling all over the place) I bought this bike - wonderful to be back on two wheels again - may be not as imppressive as my former Laverda, but at least as much fun - Born To Be Wild (again) - I try to share my affection for and my knowledge of my bike on my homepage: http://takeoff.to/gn400
Bob	It runs and drives but runs poorly and lacks power. It may just be a dirty carb but I'm not sure. The history of the bike is unknown. Main, USA.
Keith Rogers	My 1982 GN400T bought as a second bike for riding the country lanes of England. With just 20,000 miles on the clock it is almost all original except for the Gold star silencer (the genuine one now no longer available) I also fitted straight bars and replaced a few other parts to bring it up to first class order. My other bike is a Ducati 996 but i still really enjoy riding this machine
Scott Saunders	Binghamton, NY, USA. Only modifications are an 18 tooth countershaft sprocket (instead of 16) and fork proctectors. Will carry my wife and myself 65 mph (105 kph) on the interstate. Fast enough for the east coast in the USA.

Graz, New Zealand	82. Brought this in '92. Very reliable, have done 28,000kms on it. I heard there was only 18 imported to NZ and have never seen another here?
Lewis Cramer	I just posted this for sale on ebay.........its got a couple of days left so if your interested.........please look and bid.....good shape and runs good.........
Roger	Nice GN400 convertion from Germany I found on ebay.
David Mandl	Bought this bike for 700$ from a friend and it only had 2200km on it. It is my first bike and I've driven it for about 4 months now and I love it. Almost 5000km on her now and it runs perfectly. Cheap on gas (250km to reserve) and cheap to insure. I'll never sell this bike. What a steal of a deal...Any questions about it write to me at: superflytnt69@hotmail.com make sure you put a subject line that says GN400 or I might not get it...Cheers
Russell Parker	I see the GN 400 a little differently from most. Insurance rates here favour the 400cc class, and I wanted a single, but not a cruiser-type, so I added a Honda SS tank, a pair of drag bars, a drilled disc and muffler extension and made some stainless sidecovers, and my wife helped me build the seat. Fun. Canada kap@telus.net
Stuart UK England	I just bought this GN400 off eBay last weekend (Jan 05). It's a bit tatty but sounds great! Can't wait for better weather to get it cleaned up, serviced and get back on the road. Stuart England
Pieter Tudts	This is my Gn witch I bought allmost for free. I regred the previous owner did not seem to like the original look that much, but it's still a lott of fun to take a short trip with. I hope to be able to give it his original look back.
Mick Pearce	I Bought the bike in Germany for £170 (equiv)back in 2000. Imported it back to the UK in 2001 and glad I did. Mo longer my first bike but a good ride none-the-less. Cheap to run and always starts from cold, warm starts are a bit more fun!!!. Electrics ok, I've removed the indicators, headlamp ok for the speed (cruise at 60-70 mph easy)but love the red glow of the clocks at night.
Eric	I bought the GN400 three years ago, it has only 7500 miles on it. A great lil' thumper!
Suzi-Susan	go on!!!

Mike in PA	Finally got myself a bike, and while this 1980 GN looks a bit rough, I am very happy with the overall performance (and for $500, I have no complaints!). My only concern is I've been trying desperately to find a repair manual, but to no avail. If anyone can help me out, drop me a line at AceMRB@yahoo.com - Thanks!

Mike Ryman	This is the culmination of 15 years of searching. My 1981 gn400. I had a 1980 gn400, my first bike. I LOVED it! To make a long story short, my brother took it, sold it, and shot the $ up his arms. After 15 years, I have finally replaced it. After 3 months of work, it's up and running, and once again, I LOVE IT!

noggin the chef in bournemouth	hi there just bought this y reg(1983) GN 400 from my local adtrader for a measly £100 (Aug 07)Although it haas no MoT or tax it runs well and I think with only a few quid throwing at it, it should be fine. All it needs is a new battery tacho cable and air filter (already bought a front wheel for it off ebay complete with decent tyre and disc all in for £30, which is a lot cheaper than a new tyre on its own.) Who says biking has to be expensive!?! You can contact me on nooginthenog1967@yahoo.co.uk Cheers!!

Michael Fuller	This is my 1980 Suzuki GN400. Purchased for $400. I don't know how many miles it has, but after hearing so many good things about this bike - I really don't care. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
kenneth salsbury	my gn is a 1980 it has 15000 miles and is one of my favorite bike's of all time. has not been restored in my neighbor's garage from 1986 to 2008 its a ball to ride I am 62 years old and ride daily.
suzukijo	i had started this project a few years back, and its just been sitting. DR400 swingarm, GR650 front end, GS400 gastank, GS500 seat. I am not sure how it will end up, but i have interest to finally finish it, thanks to all of you for inspiration, with your bikes. i would like to have the long tapered muffler, and rear sets, not sure about tail section, may use GS500 frame panels, or go with the empty naked look thru the middle.
Greg Jameson	Its been 15 years since I last had a GN and so I bought this one last week. Hasnt been running since 1994 so needs a fair bit of work but its only done 6000 miles. The carb is a mess but I did have it 'chuffing' for maybe 10 seconds yesterday and the engine sounded great so I think its a good buy.
Dave Sweet	Picked her up 8/30/2008 in Ohio at a Flea Market for $400.00. Runs and rides GREAT! My plans are to take her back to original. I've ordered fenders, tail light, turn signals, seat, already!! I'll update as I get her closer to original!

Pusztai Miklós	This is my GN400 from 1982. I bought in april 2008 for 700 eu. It's an very reliable bike. After I put a 32 teeth rear sprocket (originally was 37) the bike ride very leisure in 90 km/h.
Andy VH	This is my ice bike, a 1980 GN400 that has been converted for ice racing. I bought it from a friend. I did fab my own hanger for the SuperTrapp muffler and revised the intake. Did a bit of head work, and I will be re-jetting the carb for more power. All the street parts have been stripped off to save weight so the bike is now under 300 pounds. Right now it will not start (kick only) which I suspect is a timing issue since I do know it ran before. Compression is very good, as is spark and fuel. Looking forward to some winter fun here in Wisconsin!
Laimis	gn400 bobber project. not compleat jet.
mike jones	i bought this bike as a basket case,so this has been fully restored,runs great until it warms up,then starts missing,and a sod to start when its hot,any suggestions welcome.but a fantastic bike
jymtoubab	Moto hyper originale autant à conduire qu'à regarder! jym33110@free.fr
Torleif	28 Years old Bike I just bought. Has a great sound and runs smoothly. Needs a good wash and a bit of polish. Was hard to learn how to start it at first.
Mick	I picked up this running bike for $185 bucks. It leaked gas on me all the way home. The next day i ripped it apart, Cut the swing arm and added in 6". and here's where I'm at with it. I have put $500 bucks in to parts. Ebay is awesome for cheep parts. I wish i could post more than one pic. Mick95117@yahoo.com
Mick	Did more work yesterday. I wanted more of a hard tail look so I made the bottom fork kick stand part of the frame. I think it looks cool. My plan is to sell the bike so I'm going to keep it a two seater. I'll make a little bitch pad on the back fender. I'll add more pics as I go. Mick95117@yahoo.com Oh the pic posted by Laimis I love that back tire where did you get it? You have no e-mail posted
willy from FRANCE (78)	i'm a french boy .i've bought my 400 gn in belgium and i try to repare it ! engine is good but i must do something for the electrical part ! all help is welcomed !!
Mick	Just an update made the seat pan. it looks a little rough.I bent it up using a vice so there are ridges. I will use a little padding and some leather to cover it up with. After mounting the seat, i decided it had to have forward controllers. I've started cutting them out. Hopefully I will have them done this week. Mick
steve Portwood	this is my 1980 gn400 bobber 80% done. just fired it up yesterday. though it keeps backfireing . any thoughts? steve.portwood@yahoo.com
deon potgieter	my gn400 1980 model for sale with spare engine in newzealand exellent condition bike with no problem at all.
Mick	Forward controls work great. Now I have to make the fake oil tank.
Mick	Oh ya, The forward controls coast me about $30.00 usd to make. I used some stander ed plumbing pipe. the same 1" I used on the frame and like 6 inches of the next size up. I used 3/8" for the plate steel.If anyone wants to know more about how to make some. you can e-mail me.I did a lot of looking and there's not much out there on how to make your own. Mine are supper solid and work great. you will need a welder, Chop saw, Grinder, And a drill. mick95117@yahoo.com
Mike	My neighbor just gave me this bike. It's been sitting in his backyard since 1988. He said it still ran when he parked it. My son and I are going to tackle this project...maybe.
Bert from Bergen NH the Netherlands	This is my gn 400 from '81. I bought it from a guy who was unable to fix it. I got al lot of parts with it. My neighbour did my fueltank. A few parts I got from the internet like my buddyseat. If there are owners of gn 400's that want to contact me it would be nice. Its good to exchange experience. My e-mail is: lgdruiven@quicknet.nl
Gamaliel Diaz	My Suzuki gn400 after 100 milles ride. I love this bike! Simple but great!
Mick	Just an up date on the bike. Its not a good pic I know, but the bike is coming along.
Mick	A little bit more work and a better pic.
Putney	I bought this 1981 GN400TX in Fort Kent, Maine for $100. Starts and idles good until the gas in the carb burns up, but the carb will drain if gas is flowing in form the tank. I got a new float, but it's gettin' cold and the garage isn't heated, so I think I'm gonna drain the gas and leave it for the spring. Sorry about the cut-off pic, I couldn't get a good angle in the garage. -Put
Cassandra D. from Fayetteville	1981 Suzuki gn400. modified, and soon to be modified a lot more!! Foot clutch and jockey shift. Bucket seat, sportster tank. Soon to have an old Indian tank, clip ons, and I am going to modify the frame.
Jim from Oakmont, PA	This Suzuki GN-400 is almost like new. It was found stored in a garage during a property sell where it sat since its original purchase. It only has 1750 miles.

All street gear stripped off. Honda CH250 CDI wired it to the stock coil. RM80 front master cylinder and soon a front caliper from a Kawasaki 125 Cruiser.
my 1981 GN	I bought it as a project sat for over 2 years and started on second kick am in process of airbrushing her at moment and will post new pics when I do to see what you all think
Joe Kinsella	First bike! Love it! Removed dented front fender, installed powder coated drag bars, chopped 7-8" off the exaust at a slant painted it black and wrapped the header tube. Sounds loud and mean. Painted front forks black. Next up: seat and rear fender. My lights are pretty dim too, any good solutions? Also, I'd like some shorter cables, throttle, clutch, front brake line. Any smaller bikes cables compatible? Like a dr80?
Lasse DK	This is my GN 400. I bought it in 2010 after 30 Years on 4 Wheels and I enjoy every minute I ride it.
Greg Jameson	Bought this 3 months ago for £250. It had been unused in a garden for 3 years. Hard work and another £150 later and it passed its MOT today. My 2nd GN400 on this site (sold that one - regrettably) !

Andy Van Herwynen, Green Bay WI, USA	My bike is pictured on here as an ice racer. I am in need of a replacement CDI (I do not want a stock replacement). Does anyone in the UK or Europe make a replacement new CDI for the GN400?
Ian Flanders	I built this out of a1980 Gn 400 with 1939 miles.I bought it for $400.and sold all the parts I did not need for $150.The petrol tank is from a Gs1000E.I fashioned the side panels,fairing,inner rear fender and numerous other smalls from sheet aluminum.I cnc machined a double shock mount from3/8 plate steel and welded mounting studs.It was a fun project.Riding here in the NE.has already given it patina.
Ian Flanders	I have pushed this bike close to 7000 rpm on the motorway and estimate the speed to be about 75-80 mph.It was a windy day and it felt more like I was riding a kite.Maybe with a little more weight loss and a down hill slope it could break the 100 mph mark !
