I thought the '82 GS 1100 E Z was the one that edged out the GPZ 1100 for WFSB? My first bike was the EZ and I went down. I knew I should have started smaller, but the seca 750, etc, costs more.
I think you forgot about the 1982 Suzuki GS1100E. It was much sportier than the G model. If i remember correctly the G model is a DOHC 2 valve head but the 1100E was a DOHC with 4 valve head with TSCC which is twin swirl combustion chamber. I owned one brand new.
@@KaplanCycles i dont have to quote magazines. I owned a 79 GS750L. I sold that and bought my Dads 79 GS1000L and I sold that for an 82 GS1100e. I remember those bikes and specs vividly.
In most countries except the U.S. the four valve head, chain driven version, released in 1980 was known as the GSX1100ET . I don't know why the 'X' was omitted because there were many factory upgrades for this model which deserved a new anacronym, bridging the gap between the old 2 valvers and the oil cooled race rep. GSXRs.
1982 Suzuki GS 1100g kan my dad have one one of the first bikes I ever rode I did the same thing as you I did a burnout it does look like a old school Road Glide I would never ever think that Ken number one motorcycle man on it it was awesome now I would call that the grandfather bike Kaplan Cycles God Bless America❤
I had a 79 kawasaki z650sr with the fairing. I topped out at 125mph. I got it in 1995 for $650 with 11.000 miles from the original owner. I miss that bike. It's a good one.
Just from memory which is piss poor. A couple dudes I know bought 2 new. One guy sent the engine out to a speed shop I think in california. Super fast back then.
Makes me think of Terry Vance and Byron Hines. Terry was one serious Badass. My Dad and I loved watching him dragrace on tv, back in the day. Gorgeous Bike. Just too big and bulky for my taste. Not sure if I read the odometer incorrectly or not, when your camera showed it, but I could have sworn that I saw it reading that the bike only had a little over 1k, regarding miles on it??
Had an 1980 GS1100E loved it!Great video!
Man I had that same year of bike back in the day!
I kicked some azz with it & loved it. It was my first big boy metric bike!!

Suzuki were touted as having the best smoothest shaft drive of the era

Just quoting the magazines of the time and that's what they said it's all online
You are correct!had the 1980GS1100E different head 4 valve TSCC fast !
Fact checking is good we all learn plus there is a lot of Japanese euro models that never made it here unless imported and it's a long list

@94SexyStang people that know bikes care but you drive a Mustang so it proves you already know nothing.

I owned an 83 and it was the fastest factory bike ive owned for almost 20 years
I'm looking into getting a gs 1100 soon. What's the best exhaust for this bike?
Keep up the you tube videos. Awesome 😎

The speedometer was replaced so we don't really know the actual mileage
134 miles......its not even broke in 😮
Lightweight bullet!
Do you still have this bike and how much do you want for it.
Classic motorcycle Suzuki ❤
Guess katana 1100 wasn't out yet.
Only way it could pull more at my heart strings is if it were a GS1100G
It is.
Wannit!!! 😍
Yeah great bike but I preferred riding the Kawasaki GPZ 1100
Sweet ass bike.
👍
