Based on the Suzuki GS1200SS, which has a retro look reminiscent of an endurance racer, the exterior, engine, and suspension have been thoroughly tuned without leaving anything out.
It was created based on the appearance of Yoshimura Japan’s Suzuki GS1000R (number 12), which won the 1980 Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Race.
At first glance it looks like an endurance racer, but it is also equipped with safety parts such as headlights and turn signals, making it a racer that can be driven on public roads.
This custom bike, painted in Yoshimura’s red and black colors, utilizes the classic form of the GS1200SS (2002 model) while incorporating modern parts. The front and rear 17-inch wheels are OZ Racing GASS-RSA.

The base vehicle, the GS1200SS, is a 2002 model, and because it was a rare model with a short lifespan, parts are difficult to obtain. For this reason, one-off parts are used in various places.
Each part has been tuned to ensure high-level running, cornering and stopping, as well as a beautiful and stylish exterior.
It has been customized as a racer that can also be driven on public roads. Miniature turn signals and a small tail lamp are installed deep inside the cowl, and other features are incorporated throughout to maintain the racer style.

The front and rear tires are Bridgestone’s ultra-high-grip Battlax RS11. The rear tire is an ultra-wide 190mm wide tire with a 55% aspect ratio (190/55-17 size), while the front tire is a 120/70-17 size.
