A Suzuki GS1000 AMA tribute bike, this is a road machine with working lights. Built as a four-year labour of love with a GIA Engineering aluminium frame, it’s powered by a Suzuki 1200 engine from a 2005 Bandit which has been run for approximately 10,000 miles. The engine is extremely clean, with brand-new Yoshimura Mikuni TMR MJN 36mm carburettors, and has been shown to produce 114bhp at the rear wheel on the dynamometer of Meltedsliders. The specification also includes K&N filters, a bespoke Racefit titanium-carbon exhaust system, GIA oil-cooler with braided lines, Promach billet yokes, a Translogic Microdash and a Dyna 2000 ECU with a bespoke race-quality Towzatronics loom. Further features include a Promach twin-filler conversion on the GS1000 tank, titanium fasteners throughout, Brembo four-pot Moto GP-style rear callipers (costing just under £1000) with a floating 220mm rotor Billet Spiegler rear master cylinder (from an ex-works Ducati), Brembo four-pot front callipers with PFM discs, Brembo RCS 19/20 master cylinder, Brembo RCS clutch slave cylinder, Dymags magnesium wheels with Bridgestone tyres, Ohlins rear shock, Ohlins road and track front forks, Motovalter rear-sets, Rethal fat-bars, Clearwater light (imported from America) with bespoke billet mounting by Mark Tooms Engineering, period Giuliari 2/4 seat with metal base, and HEL braided lines throughout.


Due to ill health a new owner is needed. The vendor says: “This bike cost many thousands in parts alone to build, and the sister machine sold this year for some £26,000.”
