Well, I’m not great at writing, so I’m in a bind here.
Anyway!
Since I haven’t test-ridden it yet, I’ll set aside the performance question for now.
I’m planning to place a custom order for a GS1000S next year ★
To sum it up…
The damper adjustment for extension and compression is separate, which is great! (The click feel is amazing too!)
The body is slim, so you can lay it down without worry!
The details are really well thought out. (Mounting spherical bearings, bushings, and so on.)
Since they’re local, you can feel confident even if issues come up!
Aluminum body means it’s lightweight!
The color is kind of like mag, or a works prototype vibe—really classy!
The craftsmanship is raw and visible (tool marks and so on).
I think it’s a bit unfair to compare something that’s handmade one piece at a time with mass-produced products.
You can really feel that each one is carefully crafted and built up individually.
If you want something different from everyone else and want to set it up properly, this is a great suspension for you.
A rear suspension is expensive. But if you just bolt it on and call it done, all those adjustment features go to waste!
So think it over carefully before you buy, okay?
This is one handsome suspension, I tell you =
By the way, the list price is 170,000 yen plus tax.
