Suzuki GS1000S Yoshimura Tribute

William Kenefick, of
RetroSBK,
who’s built the modern-day equivalent of a GS1000. Based on a 2008 GSX-R1000,
the bike has, according to the RetroSBK website, been built in tribute to Hideo
‘Pops’ Yoshimura’s contribution to production-based roadracing in the United
States.
the GSX-R1000-based GS-tribute took over 400 man-hours to make! The tail unit,
fuel tank and chassis are stock GSX-R items, a full Yoshimura exhaust system has
been installed, various carbonfibre bits have been bolted on, and then of course
there’s that custom-built 1970s-style fairing.
There’s also a new Öhlins shock at the back, the front fork’s internals have
been reworked by RetroSBK, the Brembo brakes have been uprated to race-spec
components and power output is a claimed 178bhp at the rear wheel.
