Impressive. What is Suzuki's response? -
Suzuki has a history of replica bikes including the 1980 GS1000S Cooley replica.1982 GS1100G-

I'm really tempted by the 2022 GSX-S 1000 in matte blue. At 12k, its alot of bang for the buck.Comment

Over 200hp at 14,000 rpm..wow..I'll bet that bike is a blast to ride. Wonder how many will actually be ridden..compared to being stashed away as investments.1979 GS1000S,

An interesting video, recent. The Real 89 RGV500cc thing and a RG replica.

[QUOTE=Cipher;n1708505]
wasnt that a run of the mill bike whored up to look like a race bike? Marketing nonsense to make boy racers dream?[/Q
Boy, that's a pretty harsh and quite frankly, insulting assessment of the S model. Considering how few were made and how cherished they are by their owners, me included. There's nothing run of the mill about them.1979 GS1000S,

The GS1000S was a replica of what Wes Cooley rode to the 1979 and 1980 World Superbike championships.
500 were sold in the U.S. in 1979. 700 more in 1980, supposed to be 1 for every Suzuki dealership in the U.S.
I just missed out on a new one at the Pasadena, Ca. dealership. I "settled" for a new 1979 GS1000E in black. I still own it. Possibly the most reliable engine in history.And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
