What do THESE letters stand for?
Kawasaki KH and KZ
Honda CB, CL, CM and GL
Yamaha XS, RD
The were all just model designations.

Lord SUZUKI built a bike and saw that is good. “G” he said, “Now I will build more Gs!”.

As on old drag racer I thought it meant Go Straight.
Yeah, if you can turn, you're going too slow.

My guess, based on Suzuki?s premier bike at the time the series was introduced:
T-series are twin cylinder two strokes: 1960 TA (Twin Ace), T10, T20, T500
GT-series are two strokes focused more toward touring then competitors (Grand Turismo?): GT750 was a touring bike
RE5: rotary
GS-series with a product shift back toward sport/performance (Grand Sport?): GS750 was pretty hot for the time

What is GS in Japanese? Or were they named for the English speaking market?

I've never been able to find anything official from Suzuki defining the GS. I know the "L" model moniker stands for "Low Slinger", thats from Suzuki advertisements of the time. Not sure if T, E or G was ever officially addressed or referenced. A mystery that may never be solved...

I'd call this one a winner !
One of the ways to make them faster is to add some Rs to the name. The Honda CBR900RR had three Rs in the name, and it is faster than a GS. I may get some R stickers for mine. Maybe just stick one on at first, until I can get used to the extra speed.
Group Sounds and Japanese Garage Bands!
By 1967, nearly 30 new bands with mod names like the Spiders, the Tempters, the Carnabeats, the Jaguars, and the Tigers made their record debuts. The top GS groups had enormous popularity in Japan with wild scenes of Beatlemania-like hysteria greeting them at concerts and following them wherever they went.
A quintessential GS song can be characterized by its slightly dissonant melodies and a tendency to go from a straight ahead pop or beat number to an over-the-top, fuzzed-out screaming psychedelic rave up?sometimes all within the same song!

Thru watching a members you tube video asking a question, I got sucked into watching some train wreck GS bobber projects.
In one video the narrator shows off his GS whatever cafe bobber project, and with full authority states that the GS refers to the Gear Shaft of his (G) bike. Im convinced.
