The GS1000 is one of those early-day superbikes from an era that all manufacturers were building fast and high-powered 4-stroke bikes with big displacements. Suzuki was the last brand of the Japanese “big four” to join the club of 1-liter-machines. Honda had its GL1000 Goldwing, Yamaha a powerful XS11 and Kawasaki had the KZ1000. With a machine that was slightly lighter than the GS750 (!) and 90hp, the GS1000 was a very serious weapon.

Tom from Purpose Built Moto, riding a GS550 himself, was thrilled when his customer rode in his ’78 GS1000 for some tweaks. A smaller and simpler job in terms of the check list of modifications we completed but as you’ll see these small changes yielded some big results.
