Anyone have pics of the race bikes like the one I posted?Comment

No not a Kat.. That is Motorcycle Hall of Fame Member Wes Cooley on his GS1000..
Suzuki released a WCR..
Here is the early race bike..
here is the replica Suzi sold..
Here is some more info..
Check out the "knee pucks" third pic down on the right..
Just noticed the photo is captioned!
GS750 I guess.Comment

I noticed the caption right after I posted it too. But I thought that the model name of the Katana was GSX
and the GS
And after looking around for a little while, it appears to me that the frames are almost identical between the GS the early Katanas... is that true?Comment

I wouldn't doubt the frames are the same, after all the seventies gave us the UJM.
In 84 (when that photo was taken) Cooley was on "special" contract with Yoshi.
So that might be a GS 750 with some GSX bodywork.Comment

Judging by centre based fuel cap, snub nose fairing, seat/tail piece & floater suspension, i'd say it looks more like a GSx750esdOriginally posted by SHARKBOY521 View Post
