Suzuki presented a whole new lineup
in 1981 with Katana styled bikes where
fuel tank, seat, side covers and tail
were blended together, in some cases with
a cockpit fairing. Initially there were
three of them, GSX1100S, GS550M and GS650G.
Later came the GSX1000S Katana and the
GSX400F, a model with a four-cylinder,
16-valve engine.
The GSX400F (internal code GS400XF)
was available for two years. In 1983 the
model was replaced with the liquid-cooled
GSX400FW. |

The liquid-cooled GSX400FW was launched
in Japan in March 1983. Yoshimura tuned
up the engine and built up the special frame
to entry Japanese domestic TT-F3 race. 184
bikes found their way to Sweden in 1983,
where it was sold under the model name GSX400FWS
and had 52 hp in 1983. The Japanese version
had 50 ps (49,5 hp).
The GSX400FW caused a small sensation
when it was launched in 1983. 52 bhp from
a 400cc four-stroke, combined with a sporty,
almost racer-like chassis was a great
new model from Suzuki. The liquid-cooled
engine was slightly heavier than its predecessor
but could be revved up to 11,500 rpm and
deliver more power. The handling of the
bike was considered a s very good, the
disc brakes excellent (the rear brake
was almost too good). It was a full-size
bike and could be ridden with a passenger,
but the huddled-up riding position and
the need to use very high revs to get
the most out of the engine could be annoying
in a long run. The fuel economy was slightly
worse than with other 400cc bikes but
still quite good.
