At the end of the last century, it was nothing strange that preparers around the world dedicated themselves to life to special series about some models of the moment, in order to improve their benefits in general, but above all to provide them with a plus of personality and truly unique exclusivity.
This is undoubtedly the case of the iconic Suzuki/Dunstall GS1000 Csa motorcycle that was announced at the time under the commercial slogan “The definitive combination of incomparable performance and excellent management.“
And what if it was, among other things, because the architect of this seventies Superbike, Paul Dunstall, managed to increase the serial power by almost 20 hp, also lowering the final weight in 36 kilos! So imagine what the result was, but above all that meant putting themselves at the controls of such a mount after having gotten off of the original model. A real nonsense considering that we talk about almost half a century ago.
Suzuki/Dunstall GS1000 CS: “Competition Special … Vary Special”
Paul Dunstall is a very well -known character in the world of classical competition, but also among the most select preparators in the world. While in the beginning he dedicated himself to playing different careers as a pilot, he soon alternated this passion with professional mechanics, riding his own workshop. There he specialized in Norton and Honda preparations, although later he would do the same with Kawasaki and Suzuki.
The GS1000 CS is one of those models that were born from the ingenuity and passion that Dunstall put in each and every one of its projects, even being marketed in the Suzuki dealership network itself at the time. His presentation letter was the sticker that we could find in his side cover with the inscription “150 mph”. We also had the option of acquiring a specific kit with which to transform our standard GS1000.
Apparently, only a few Suzuki/Dunstall GS1000 CS already built were sold. To this we must add about 200 transformation kits that included a seat, fairing, brake/gear lever or front fender. As detailed from Bike Urius, the units transformed by the dnastall itself included chassis modifications, larger raised cams, more rigid valve springs, 29 mm mm mikuni carburetors, dnutall silencers and more.
The unit that is currently on sale in Oakland, Michigan is associated with VIN GS1000527444 and currently its odometer counts a little less than 24,000 miles. According to the owner, “It is in good condition and it works perfectly. It has been done a recent maintenance this year with all liquids, filters, brakes, carburetor, spark plugs …”.
As a negative point is the fact that “Original deposit was replaced by the correct 1979 and was painted to coincide with the exterior color of the fairing. Unfortunately, the original deposit has oxide damage at the bottom that do not seem repairable. The original deposit is included in this sale”as detailed in the description of the announcement itself.
