suzuki gs1000st red 1980 model

[Bushcreature]

Welcome to the site, Bushcreature.
Sounds like a cool find.
How about starting a new thread with some pics of your project S.

G'day Steve, I have no idea how to put up photos and it will be a long long time before anything happens on the S apart from collecting bits.
My son and I are going to do up our GS1000G's together first.
I have just had someone reverse over my daily ride, a pristine 1986 Kawasaki GT550 and has no insurance.
Also continuing the building our new home and all that goes with that, I have no time or money to spend up on the S.

Wow, Postman Pat, that's awesome that you would have the thought to save those and be willing to pass them on to another member in need, got to love GSR.

i agree.....very gracious.
thanks pat....the money is in your account

Looks like that bike may be a US import to Australia, see if it rides on the other side of the road.

The numbers are right in a batch that's from the USA.

Check the carbs to see if they are VM type rather than CV.

Not sure what else would identify a US 1980 ST from an Australian model.

Thanks for the numbers, always good to see members on the lookout for new bikes to add to the register.

Cheers,

David.

The blue ones had a different pin stripe on the duck tail I believe, not sure on the red ones though.

My 1000S details are :- Frame GS1000 534794 and Engine GS1000 152090 Date is November 1980.

Thanks Bushcreature, that's a pretty high number, interesting that they were still producing the "ST" model as late as November, it's also good to get a few numbers from the later batches as I have very few of them.

The highest number I have is 535172 and almost all of the bikes above 532500 are in Australia or NZ except for one in France. (John Kat's)

I'm not sure if all of those numbers were used on the ST's as I have a few blocks of numbers used for the GS1000ET's.
Most of the high 52XXXX's and the low 53XXXX's and about a thousand between 531000 to 532000 appear to be reserved for the "ET" model.

Anywho, thanks met for allowing the hijack of your thread, maybe I'll start a new thread again as the old one is long gone.

I know someone who has a pair of brand new stock mufflers for one of those hanging on his shed wall.
