1979 suzuki gs1000 gt

to create the gs1000gt, suzuki engineers cross-bred out of two distinct, if not separate, engineering bloodlines, the gs1000 and the gs850. categorical thinkers who believe that a successful motorcycle must be shaped from the ground up according to a singular idea scorn the notion that an artful rearrangement of parts can function effectively. for suzuki engineers, less concerned with grandiose theory than functional results, the problem and solution must have seemed simple enough. problem: buyers liked the traditional-pattern big-bore japanese motorcycle but with shaft drive. honda, kawasaki and yamaha all had something to suit. solution: suzuki had the wherewithal for a one-liter creation.

gs1000s was based on the gs1000e but didn't have its pneumatic rear suspension. the fairing gained the bike's weight with 5 kg (11 lbs) and included a clock and oil temperature gauge on the instrument panel. the rear wheel diameter was increased from 17 to 18 inches on the s model.
