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'''. | |||

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. | 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.
