Suzuki GS1000S Yoshimura Tribute

lliam Kenefick, of , who’s built the modern-day equivalent of a GS1000. Based on a 2008 GSX-R1000, the bike has, according to the RetroSBK website, been built in tribute to Hideo ‘Pops’ Yoshimura’s contribution to production-based roadracing in the United States. The GSX-R1000-based GS-tribute took over 400 man-hours to make! The tail unit, fuel tank and chassis are stock GSX-R items, a full Yoshimura exhaust system has been installed, various carbonfibre bits have been bolted on, and then of course there’s that custom-built 1970s-style fairing.

There’s also a new Öhlins shock at the back, the front fork’s internals have been reworked by RetroSBK, the Brembo brakes have been uprated to race-spec components and power output is a claimed 178bhp at the rear wheel. Source and
