1979 Suzuki GS1000E Registration no. VJV 585V Frame no. 513571 Engine no. 119979 The success of Honda's four-cylinder CB750 made it inevitable that the other major Japanese manufacturers would follow suit, Suzuki's offering - the GS750 - arriving in 1976. Soon there was also a 1,000cc version: the GS1000. The latter arrived in the UK for the 1978 season, vying with Kawasaki's Z1000 for 'top sportsbike' status. Endowed with 'devastating performance', according to Bike magazine, the GS1000 had a sub-12s standing quarter-mile time and a top speed of over 135mph, beating the Kwacker in a straight line. Historically significant as Suzuki's first one-litre multi, the GS1000 is today one of the most collectible of early Suzuki four-strokes. Acquired by the vendor in July 2014, this GS1000E last ran in 2018 and is described as in generally good condition. Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C Registration Certificate, technical information and other paperwork, a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired July 2015), and DVLA ownership history. Fußnoten As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
