1979 Suzuki GS 1000. White / Blue. The G and S in GS stands for Grand Sporting, and in the late 1970s Suzuki produced a number of machines bearing the GS moniker, varying in size from 400-1000cc. However, at that time, Suzuki was world-renowned for its production of two-stroke engines, and was busy winning world championships both on and off-road. So, while Barry Sheene was racing his RG500 to glory and Roger De Coster was winning the World Motocross Championship, Suzuki obtained a four-cylinder, two-valve, four-stroke engine from MV Agusta, and got to work. In fact, rumour has it a number of parts could fit to an MV engine. 1978 rolled around and the GS1000 was born, boasting a 997cc, inline four-cylinder engine, with DOHC and two valves per cylinder, putting out 88bhp at 8,500rpm and 60lbft of torque at 6,750rpm. On the street there became a number of variants that all used the same basic platform, including faired and unfaired, as well as custom version and shaft-driven models, too. But, like a lot of Suzuki’s in history, it was in racing that it really carved a reputation for itself. In 1978 the GS1000 was born and in just 50 days the legendary Pops Yoshimura tuned a GS1000 to victory in the 1978 Daytona Superbike race ridden by Steve McLaughlin, followed by victory at the prestigious Suzuka 8-Hour with the legendary Wes Cooley. Cooley would go on to win the 1979 and 1980 AMA titles, too. This stunning GS has come to us directly from a private collection and has been lovingly restored keeping the bike as totally original as possible. Running and riding very well this will fit straight in to any motorcycle collection. With 70’s Japanese bikes now rising rapidly in price added to the rarity of these wonderful machines we see this as a smart investment as well as a joy to own. Absolutely any inspection welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Part exchange considered. Free U.K mainland delivery. Please contact us for any further information. Lots more pictures and a video on our website and Facebook page.
