This technical reference row for the GS 1000 combines the available catalogue data: 997 cc, 66 kW, 90 hp, 238 kg. It describes the model reference, but does not necessarily distinguish every production or equipment change. Always verify model year, trim and technical values against the individual motorcycle.
The Suzuki GS1000 is an air-cooled 997 cc four-cylinder superbike from the late 1970s. It developed the GS750 concept with greater capacity, twin overhead camshafts and a strong tubular frame. Standard GS1000, sporting S with bikini or full fairing and touring G with shaft drive differ clearly in mass and equipment. Around 90 hp made the GS one of the fastest and best-handling large Japanese motorcycles of its period.
Today the GS1000 is a valuable classic UJM for experienced riders. Verify displacement from engine code: a recorded 749 cc does not belong to a genuine GS1000 and indicates misclassification or mixed parts. Inspect cam chain, valve clearances, carburettors and charging system. Original exhaust, airbox, wheels and bodywork determine value. Look for frame and subframe repairs after track or crash use. Brakes and suspension may be upgraded, but irreversible changes reduce authenticity.
