The GS450 was a Suzuki motorcycle produced in the early 1980s.

Model variants include the GS450E, GS450L, GS450S, GS450T, and GS450GA Suzukimatic. The GS450 series was a direct competitor to the Honda CM400 / CM450 series. The GS450A Suzukimatic was only produced for 2 years 1982 and 1983 coinciding with the change of the CM400A Hondamatic up to the CM450A, as a direct response to the GS450A Suzukimatic. Both the Suzukimatic and the Hondamatic ceased production after the 1983 model year.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). It is also not ideally suited for two-person riding because of the small seat positioning, although due to its versatility it could easily be modified to be more friendly to multiple riders.[1]
