Wes Cooley 1979 Suzuki GS 1000s Burnout 

One of the most beautiful bikes ever.

Don't know about the rest of the world, but these gs 1000s with the fairing, and colour sceem where known in the UK as ice cream vans.

These were available for 2 years, 1979 and 1980 I picked up mine May 8 1979 from Cole Brothers Suzuki in North Hollywood,Ca. with dealer installed Yoshimura 4 into 1 exhaust just as they began selling their racing products over here in the U S A.. The First GS1000s Katana came out 2 years later in 1981 + These Bikes are the OG's of today's "SuperBike" World

Rare bike. Not the most gentle way to wake her up but it looked like fun.

Mad max burnout. In the 1 movie.

These bikes always looked great in either colour with the matching bikini fairing

Toe Cutter whould be proud,dont let Bronze take your freedom.

Old video but great bike. Bought mine in the summer and been rebuilding carbs. Tank clean out next. Cant wait to get it going for summer :-)

I subscribed just from that burn out

I’m building a Faux Cooley using a 1978 model. Great bikes

Always had Kawsakis in the 70s 2 x Z1 & a Z100. Then got. GS1000 2 years ago in bits then found out it's an S model loving doing the renovation of it

Yeah, my bike has the original exhaust. (no holes, good chrome) Good luck finding another.

Hello again and thanks for your fast reply towards my question. I hope to pick the bike next week and it is with the original exhaust mounted and he has also a 4/2 Marving exhaust which is brand new. But my intention with the bike is to customize it a bit, not like rat bike, or bopper or cafe style. I would call it my style. And for this project I would need a 4/1 exhaust, Marving, Kerker or some similar. I will uploade vid of my hopefully soon to be bike and also my progress.

the old bikes get a lot of looks. take care of it. my gs still looks great.

look forward to seeing it!

Did the bike survive the loss of control at the end of the video ( just before the film cuts off )🤭

Easily the best looking bike of the late 70's..

The nicest of the seventies...

That exit looks like it got very messy....

Thats badass

What I do just before my new tire install.

Nice trainers- nice Gs thou

Takes 21 seconds to figure out how to start it😩

The original owner had that exhaust installed back in 1980, at its 1000 mile checkup! Its an odd ball name that I forgot as soon as the second owner ( his friend) told me. I know its not a Kerker or Yoshimura! I would of tryied to find an original exhaust but, the exhaust is considered to some as a "time piece" anyway, upload a video when you get your GS! There getting to be Dinosaurs!

in making into my own style. I know that it is a classic but I have dreamt for years to make some into my style and this bike is going to be the one :o)

its still in great shape! lol

vance and hines maybe

nice bike please don't wreck it doing dumb shit like that

GOT LUCKY!

Wes has porked up a bit

What is the name of this exhaust thats mounted on the GS ? I am about to buy a GS and I would like to have same or similar exhaust like on this one. Hope to hear form you .

Nice bike, but what was the point of this video?

What a wast of good tyers.

Are you ready to sell it ? Im ready to buy it !!! let me know thax chuck

That pipe was just itching to burn the living bejesus out've his leg. Maybe next time.

this classic historical bike needs get shiny every sunday and pure walk around,if you like do like rossi get an R1 or something(i suggest get a suzukie landie because you have no idea about driving short guy)

the silver gs of yours has an aftermarket exhaust! and s models came with a fairing. where's your fairing? that color scheme is not stock either! still nice bike though!

So are these replicas or did suzuki build them this way?

Wearing sandals!

One careful owner 🙄

go for it! I want to get another GS that's not in great condition and put a wide tire kit on it!

well... your a minnow...you meanie!

You've never been to Florida! Godbless

Why even bother putting the helmet on😂😂😂😂😂😂

almost lost it! lol

milk wagons

CRASHH!!!

you've done better

The bike has been run over several times by a ice cream truck since the burnout and lit on fire! I roasted marsh mellows on it! ha ha

ha ha

Then fell off......🤣🙈
