Not to me... the spokes in the front wheel arent correct and the engine cover profile if off...too rounded. Also, it has drilled rotors...
Must be one of the more inferrior brands.

agree
kawi looks like possibility but looks like drilled rotors were angled - kawi didnt seem to have that till '86...too late for square headlight look, but spokes seem right...
i feel better.

A couple pics to prove my case...
first one with fairing...
Then one with out that you can see a little better detail on...
And if you look closely at the picture of the dumped bike you can see the front fender looks identical to the second picture as well...the squareness on the front as well as the gold pin striping...

Look at how the front wheel mounts to the forks...Not the same as that Suzuki. Upside down bike has bottom mount wheel. Drilled rotors is not the best determinng factor as many of the XSsives have drilled their rotors to look just like that.
The front wheel certainly seems to be a close match the Zuk, but on the Zuk the wheel braces are criss crossed lines, but appear to be one line. On the upside down bike those angles do not match, not a straight diagonal line, and they do not seem to overlap in the middle like that.
I have no idea what it is, but it does not apear to be either an XS11 or the Zuk.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

I agree, u are right that it is not an '81 on the side that the mounts are not correct for the tires...However it is a Suzuki and contrary to your drilled rotors idea, those are not drilled rotors, if you look at them, they are not really "holes" like they were drilled, they are more oval slats...three of them about one inch long...so the rotors are important...Def, a Suzi...
Correctomundo, it is a suzi, and it is not the one i pictured...
Again Correctomundo...latexeses has it right...I def. stand corrected it is the GS1100 GK the GS1100 G had the round light on it...that is what threw me off...i paid more attention to the light and didn't look at the front axle mount...the GS1100 GK has the square light as well as the mounts, the rim is correct, and the rotors match...check it out heres a CORRECT PIC...
As always Natemoen Thanx for the Humbling...I am still too young to have ever seen one brand new so you must forgive me...
latexeses you win the prize! idk what that is, but u get it!... :PDaily Driver - '04 Suzuki Marauder 1600
