Design The 1980 GS model has a mix of German, Japanese and Italian sport bike styling which is simply dubbed 'Eurostyle.' Cycleworld notes that 'the 450's suspension is not as efficient as the handling of the bike, yet this bike boasts one of the most soft supple rides of all small engine street bikes that no other bike with the same displacement can match.'
