The '''[[Suzuki]] GS1000S''' was made in 1979-1980.  Then in 1981 it wasn't produced, only to come back in 1982 as the '''Suzuki GS1000S Katana'''.

==History==
The S model was a [[super sport]]s variation of the standard [[Suzuki GS1000|GS1000]], with a distinctive paint scheme and fairing.  These Suzuki's were noted for their all round performance, a blend of good chassis and suspension and a powerful yet flexible [[motor]].
==History (Katana Version)==
[[Image:1982 Suzuki GS1000S Katana.jpg|right|thumb|1982 Suzuki GS1000S Katana]]
Suzuki has always had a reputation of building well-engineered, solid [[motorcycles]], but in the early 1980s, they were a little bland in the styling department.  They had a plan to build a motorcycle that stood out and drew attention like no other.  The styling was contracted out to German designer [[Hans Muth]], and the result was the Katana, and it created a sensation when it was first displayed.  It was radical and attention getting, and set new standards in styling.  A Katana is a Japanese Samurai sword.

The GS1000S was a replica machine of the [[Yoshimura]]-[[Suzuki GS1000 AMA Superbike|tuned GS1000]] ridden by [[Wes Cooley]], which won the 1978 [[AMA Superbike Championship]]. Although it shared the basic specifications of the GS1000E, the coloring and bikini cowl were identical to the victorious machine. The GS1000S was applauded for its comfortable riding position, and won popular acclaim as a [[supersport]] machine.
