Notice the kick starter upgrade. They only offered that for 1 year in 1979 on the 850g.

It’s most likely a hodgepodge engine. 79 bottom end and 80+ head to keep the CVs

A friend of mine had one, and rode on the back of his up to Orange County races on a Saturday night, it was around 1986. We were wearing T shirts on the way up and back to north jersey at 1am, failing to realize how cool it gets up there at night. We were freezing lol

I know that feeling only I had the front slapping and when I backed off the rear joined in. Thought it was going to throw me off at well over 90mph in the Isle of Man. But us Brits had the much lower handlebars for a much better riding position.

Had very similar 800 back in the 90’s ( I’m pretty sure it was 800 not a 850, maybe 1980 or ‘82 memory ain’t what it use to be ) I had put quite a bit of $$ into it to get it on road and beat the snot out of it for a couple years till I got run over by a Dodge Ram heavy duty in front of my apt…lol sold it cheap because of that and it turned out , come to find out later from guy who bought it it wasn’t hurt at all lol 🤷🏼♂️

I’m looking for a mint condition rideable ZX1300 preferably 1979 but I’ll take any of the four years it was made. Let me know when you have one.

Suzuki should've made an 850 Katana like they did with the 650G. (god bless america??!)
