Bored up version of the successful GS400, the 40hp @8500rpm was worthwhile, especially as it remained the same weight as the GS400. The good looks and growing reputation for durability ensured these sold well, even when pitted up against four cylinder models, which with their extra weight were no quicker, and were less agile.
The slick-shifting six speed box ensured that this rev happy twin could be kept on the boil when required, and was both durable and reliable.
