The '''[[Suzuki]] GS1000''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Classic [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1978 and 1981. It could reach a top speed of 134 mph (216 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 61.22 ft/lbs (83.0 Nm) @ 6500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 88.11 HP (65.7 KW) @ 9000 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 70.0mm [[bore]] x 64.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 997.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 3.50-19 front [[tire]] and a 4.25/85-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telehydraulic Forks while the rear was equipped with a Swinging Arm Forks With Adjustable Shock Absorbers. The GS1000S was fitted with a 5.28 Gallon (20.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 562.18 pounds (255.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 59.09 inches (1501 mm) long.

Suzuki introduced another shaftie in 1980 fitting a shaft drive the GS 1000L, GS 1000GL used the same mechanics as the GS1000G but borrowed the style of the GS 1000L with smaller fuel tank, high handlebars and stepped seat. Notice the different front fork. The beefy air-cooled engine was a real hammer and offered as a short stroke with a stroke-bore ratio of 64.8 x 70 mm a respectable capacity of 997 cc. Although only two valves per cylinder in the DOHC head Celt, 90 hp (68 Kw) at the crankshaft roller bearings were solid given and much more important for a chopper 81 Nm at 7,000 rpm
