I was 19 when I switched from a 50cc scooter to this baby. It went allright for almot two years and I was very lucky not to suffer some permanent damage. I remember the first time I opend the throttle, my arms grew longer and longer, haha. It was unbelievable..

I had one the same as that one that I bought new in 78. Great bike, fast and very reliable.

great bike brings back my younger days i had a gs 850 loved that bike !!!!!

Owned this bike for 24 years. Replaced by a 2002 Honda 919. Still ride the 919. If Honda sells the CB750 twin in the U.S., I'll replace the 919.

Very nice...sounds beautiful ❤❤❤

Fantastic bikes!!! Even by today's standards.

My dad has a GS850G with a sidecar on the side. I must have done 30k miles in that chair listening to the GS engine as a kid. I can't wait to get myself a 1000 solo, and one day he might even let me have his 850 :D

I had one of these for a demo when I was the sales manager of a Suzuki dealership back then. Gawd those were good times.

Fabuous machine. Nice to see someone giving it some stick rather than jut pootling along.

I absolutely love the sound of that engine spooled up, sounds like F1 to me. One thing though, they are heavy! So dont be surprised if you cant stop on a dime from 185 mph😂😂😂 ask me how I know

My roommate had one with Russ Collins drag racing header. Straighter bars. Other roommate. Had 80 ltd 1000 kerker header pods superbike bars. And KZ 1000 tank of a police bike.He let me take the Suzuki out followed my friend down the 101 heading to San Fran. Had good time no endorsement.

That's a lovely bike. 😊

Que maravilla era esta moto junto con las Hondas y Kawasakys, Yamaha sacón una 750 de tres cilindros con motor negro muy bellas. Las conoci cuando vivi en Caracas en los 70 s

i have a burgundy 78 with a RC Turbo. fast machine

I had an american import GS 1,000 it had spoked wheels with a single front disk.

I owned one of those as well. However it was the base model with wire wheels and single front disc brake which I hated. Although handling was better than its peers of that era, it sucked and plagued with tank slapping high speed wobble north of 100mph. Air suspension forks were very hard to tune. Ignition timing were points which I changed for electronic ignition. On the plus side, the engine and the intact velocity sound was awesome. Notwithstanding, I don't miss it as I ride a Ducati Monster 1200R.

Amazing🤞

I had an 81 GS 1000 ET sadly it got stolen. THE only thing wrong with the earlier ones was the solid disc brakes they were terrible in the wet , the later ones were drilled and slotted they were much better

Tighten that brake reservoir cap or you’ll loose it ;))

OLD MEMORIES. MY FIRST BIKE IN 1985

It's also missing the kick start that wasn't taken off from the factory until 1980

I just finished a restoration of my gs1000. Unfortunately, it is no longer all original parts as Suzuki no longer makes most of the parts on this bike.

Nice ride, but camera was to low lol. I kept tilting my phone to see the road.

I've got this exact bike, it's not quite as nice as this one but it's decent, I do have the original exhaust, but I am missing the grab bar on the seat. I would definitely like to find one. It's nice to see a video about my bike, thanks. I saw somewhere, somebody called it The Skunk, black tank with the white stripe.

My favorite bike wish I didn’t sell it

Would you be able to tell me the front and rear tire sizes, brand, and where you sourced them? Thank you!

I thought the first model had spoke wheels and a single front disc?

I own a 82 gs 850 did some carb work to it and repainted tank and side covers black

Are the bikes on this channel for sale? Where located?

had one of those here in Australia i raped the guts out of the bike redline most gears thrashed so bad it started leaking oil between head and barrels but kept running they where a reliable bike power was easy to master on the gs 1000 mine had the four into 1 exhaust as well ...owned it for about a 10 months then sold it on

Unless the tank and tailfin were changed, it looks like a 78

Need that in my life how much

Where is this shop ? I'm in the market for a well restored 70s 80s Japanese bike.

Where is your shop location?

78s did not have mag wheels eithier , at least mine didnt, but one thing is true of all of them, they are monsters on the highway

Sell it to me pls

Screaming plum.

Molto bella, peccato non sia completamente originale.

The rims aren't original either
