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.

2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Specs Released

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Suzuki continued its nearly year-long tease for its new V-Strom 1000, releasing new pictures and full technical specifications for the highly-anticipated adventure tourer. We first saw the 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 at the 2012 Intermot Show in Cologne last October. For a concept, the V-Strom appeared close to being ready for production, and the new photos of the production model show very few visual changes from the past year.

And speaking of Japanese motorcycles with looooong shelf lives, how about the DR-Z400S? Suzuki sold the first one in 2000 as a serious enduro machine you could ride around on the street, too. And they’ll sell you one today, complete with 36mm Mikuni carburetor, for just $7,099 – which is $1750 more than 22 years ago.
