Second only to Honda in the number of two-wheelers manufactured but better known for their two stroke machines, Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750. A year later the full 1000cc version was launched setting a new benchmark in the superbike division. In 1979 the 'S' version arrived sporting a nose cone fairing, 18" rear wheel and race inspired paintwork going on to dominate AMA superbike racing in the USA with riders such as Wes Cooley and Graeme Crosby. The Suzuki GS1000S model was a super sports variation of the standard GS1000, with a distinctive paint scheme and fairing (aka the Wes Cooley replica). The Suzukis were noted for their all-around performance — a blend of a good chassis and suspension and a powerful engine.
Purchased by the current owner from his friend in 1996, the bike had become partly dismantled in order to repaint the frame. The current owner then built it back up retaining much of its original paint and tinware. Retaining its original exhaust system and many other features. This is a very attractive example of an 'S', offered from low ownership.
