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[edit | edit source]

The S model was a super sports variation of the standard 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)[edit | edit source]

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.
