Suzuki GS description
The Suzuki GS1000E is the sought after chain final drive version of Suzuki's GS1000.
"During the 1970s Japan motorcycle builders all had copied the Norton "featherbed" frame, putting powerful inline 4-cylinder motors in them. From these similarities the term Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM) was coined. While Honda had good handling and Kawasaki the biggest power, it was Suzuki that managed to find the balance and really combine the two." The GS1000 is the last model to feature a full tubular steel frame and classic tank and seat (without having the 2 shaped to fit into each other). Even with the extra CCs the GS1000 still managed to be about the same weight as its smaller brothers, the GS750 and GS850, making it the ideal platform for a cafe racer. It runs and rides excellently. Tank is pretty much dent free, but paint could be redone. No cracks on the rear cowl, and an extra seat pan is included as well as a few other parts (extra forks, larger 1981 GS1000 brakes, new retro natural gum grips, rear seat cowl, rear fender cover). All registration fees are up to date as I ride it to work at least once a week. All electrical works great and compression is excellent. Starts up and runs from cold without issues. Has what I believe to be a Hines 4-into-1 chrome megaphone exhaust, individual air pods, and rejected to match. Battery has been relocated to the rear cowl. Stock HP is 90. 4-to-1 is typically estimated to add about 10-15HP. Only selling because I already have 2 too many bikes. |

GSX-R600 long-termer update
Mon, 18 Oct 2010When MF asks me if I fancy riding the Visordown test GSX-R 600 for a bit, I hesitate for about a millisecond before accepting. Why? ‘Cos my own courier’s favourite Diversion 900 may be heavy and utterly unexciting, but it is also a comfortable and trusty commuter ride that suits the Smoke very nicely, thanks.

Suzuki GSX-R day at Snetterton
Wed, 21 Jul 2010I have to hold my hands up and make a confession. I have completely changed my mind about Suzuki’s GSX-R1000 K9. Back in the depths of winter I rode our long termer and found myself (without trying) doing jail-sentence speeds by doing nothing other than short shifting through the gear on half throttle.
