NO RESERVE!!! I had it listed with a reserve price, but have decided to just let the market decide its value. Low Mileage - No Accidents - Very Fast 11.8 second 1/4 mile - Custom Cafe Racer - Always GaragedRuns Great & Looks Great Up for Auction is a beautiful, very fast and well built custom Cafe Racer built on an incredible platform. This was the very first 1000cc Suzuki model ever made, called the GS1000, which first went on sale in February 1978. The bike offered for sale is one of the earliest production models as you can see from the VIN number. Some Unique features:Has a gorgeous, high quality, custom made rear cowl, production #001, with a 50's style chrome tail light. Includes custom seat cover. I was going to install shorty pipes to clean up the look, but am leaving the exhaust stock in case the new owner chooses a different route. I will include the exhaust pipe I was going to use for it. Custom Paint beautifully doneCustom powder coated side coversHandle Bar mirrorsBrand New High End AutoCraft DryCell BatteryNice Chrome AccentsExhaust wrapped in heat reducing fabricIncludes several sets of keys for ignition and fuel tank gap Always Garaged, Adult Driven, Never downed and no accidents, #001 Production of Rear CowlMileage: 10881 milesTitle: In hand, Clear and CleanEarly Suzuki Production Number, I'm confident it is the original engine, it is common for them to be mismatched from the factory. Frame Vin # GS1000-000733Engine Vin # GS1000-000689 The truly difficult modifications have been made already, custom cowl and paint, so offers someone a great opportunity to add their own creative vision combined with the performance to smash all those small honda cafe racers. I had a Honda CB650 and it can't even be compared to the speed of this GS1000. Many more pictures and video of it running available upon request.
