1984 Suzuki year code: E, GSX400EE, GSX400E-6
1984 was the last year for the GSX400E in many countries. The GSX400S (GS400S in North America) lived on for a couple of more years. The GSX-R400, the liquid-cooled GSX400FWS and the GSX400X Impulse were other 400 cc four-stroke motorcycles Suzuki had to offer in the mid-eighties.

In 1983 the GSX400E got new type of cast wheels and a black-coated engine. Probably even the instrument panel got a new design. The paint scheme was new but mechanically the model remained unchanged.

As earlier, a model version called GSX400S with a small fairing was offered for those who wanted some protection against the wind.
