The Suzuki GS1000S model was a supersports variation of the standard GS1000, with a distinctive paint scheme and fairing (often referred to as 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.

Hello , Im looking for a nice 1979 or 1980 !! Let me know if you have one for sale . Send a pic and let me know what you want . thanks chuck
I had a '79. Got rid of it for when kids came along. Have an '80 in the garage that I need to get going. Love the look of this way better then the current angular sport bike look. Spoken like a true old codger.
This is a '79 model - it has 26mm Mikuni carbs, and a points ignition. The '80 model had 34mm Mikuni CV carbs and electronic ignition. Install a Kerker pipe and 29mm Mikuni smoothbores and this thing would scream!
