GS1000S Rendering

[limeex2]

After seeing the new Katana I was rather disappointed. Rear end high in the air, 3.5 gallon tank, kind of a pooch in the midrange. Kawasaki nailed it with their Z900. Here's a rendering of a new GS1000S. Sign me up. I got a deposit written already

ditto... this would make a great stable mate to the Z900 in the shed!

It's sure been making the rounds on facebook. Yep...I have a cheque waiting too.

Phwoar...... have some of that!

I like most of it. That trumpet exhaust looks really silly. Suzuki hasn't designed a good looking sport exhaust in a decade.
A stainless dual exhaust would sell me. Is it impossible to sell a dual exhaust nowadays?

[rphillips]

What is that part that looks like a rifle scabbard, angled down the side? Nope exhaust is too modern looking. I still can't like the empty space between the rear tire & the seat. For me a dummy shock would make it look a lot better.

It might be. There's probably a catalytic converter under there that can't be routed around easily. Anyhow, Suzuki isn't likely to make a component that expensive for relatively low volume. Hopefully they would prove me wrong for a thing like this though. That looks good. Anyhow, I don't mind the exhaust on it. And it's only a render. How many of the original S were converted to 4->1?

Anyhow, the engine should be sliver, and what exhaust there is shouldn't be black.

So yeah, I like it. I wonder if I can hang some GK luggage on it. Color matched, like Simon did.

That's a big chunk of frame.

A retro looking Yosh slip-on would get rid of the muffler. I'm assuming thats a euro-spec muffler? All brands seem to have that hideous style.

[Spyder]

I REALLY like that. Let's be real here, the U.S. model will have a MUCH more hideous muffler than that on it, LOL. Slip-on replacement for sure. If they really do this, they should bring back the skunk too. In all of the vintage color schemes too...

[Grimly]

That space is easily filled by a couple of boards just waiting for a bogus race number on them.
Alternatively, they could be used to keep throw-overs from tangling the wheel.

I like it, too. I would paint the front fender more like the original scheme was..blue with the the white center stripe...but the rest of the body work looks good. I also like the blacked out wheels and engine. Hmm..wonder why..

[oldGSfan]

I've never been a fan of nostalgia - it's not what it used to be.... but the top half of this is a better effort than any other remake I can think of. It looks clean and purposeful. I can understand the challenges on the bottom half, it's a damn sight better looking than most any new Japanese bike I can think of.

You trend setting fool you.

Yeah. Could you point out the radiator on that bike you're rebuilding?
