- In this 8th Blasts from the Past, video, I'm looking at Suzuki's mighty GS1150ES. Posting a 10.47 second 1/4 mile time in testing, the GS1150ES was the quickest production motorcycle in 1984! The GS1150 ES was the end of the line for Suzuki's big-bore, air-cooled, GS line of motorcycles. What was it like to ride and drive? Let's find out together!
Feb 24th having owned 54 motorcycles in my life these big bore Suzuki's bring back alot of Great times! Back in the 1980s I had just returned from the Army, my older brother and his partner had a bike shop, Called Red line Motorcycles. I could not find a decent Job a lot of manual labor type of work, so my brother said to come by and he'll put me to work! And that's all it took I was hooked I started with a 1981 gs1100 black and Red pin striped it had a bad crank low miles and really good looking bike so they told me it's yours and my brother would help me after hrs working on it long story short i kept it for a long time, I blew the webs off of it took to the street drag races and Dusted everyone in the street class! A older gentleman rode up to our trailer asked if I would consider a straight trade and when I seen what he had I handed him my keys lol! Very beautiful all original 1985 GS1150ES and it was an easy 9 out of 10 score! I just recently sold it. One of my favorite bikes of all I owned. Sorry for the long story, but your review was Great! Cheers Be Safe
So cool 😎! Thanks for sharing the memories! I recently picked up my first 1981 GS1100E and am enjoying it. You may like the ride review of the 1981: ua-cam.com/video/ITbYSAfhpyA/v-deo.htmlsi=PyyR9NSzhDGacetU
i owned a GS1150ES loved the bike, so dang fast. I was a 18 year old kid. Rode till i was 27 and sold it for a car. To many close calls. I finally realized my luck was going to run out riding a motorcycle.
It's a heck of a machine for an 18 year old to be riding!
This bike launched a lot of tuning shops, wonderful, tough motor. With some work they were kings at the drag strip and for a good few years 👍😎
Right on!
I owned a 1984 GS1150EF. It was a great bike power wise. Due to its weight however, it wasn't very friendly around town. Once on the highway though, with its long wheelbase, that motorcycle was nice and smooth. Not much buffeting when passing large transports. She felt planted and secure.
Right on!
I love to find one today im in detroit Michigan
Thanks for posting this video. I had a 1984 Suzuki GS1150ES - Blue and white.
What a great bike. I can't tell you how much fun I had on that machine. Numerous trips to the Smoky mountains that included Deals Gap long before people started calling it the Tail of the Dragon.
Even took it as far as Montreal on one trip. Didn't realize until we got there that all the signs and directions were in French. Somehow managed to find the interesting places.
Just bought a 2023 Suzuki GSXS 1000GT back in March. It's one hell of a machine but it's going to be hard to beat the great times I had on the GS1150ES.
Thanks for sharing the memories, Chuck! I had some fun times with my father dicing it up in the mountains on a ZRX1100 and the GS1150ES. Maybe a little too much fun, but we're still here! The new bikes are awesome and almost effortless to go fast on.
I own the 2006 kawasaki zrx 1200. And I've owned the 1985 susuki Gs 1150 e. My 1150e was completely reworked by Racers supply in van nuys ,California. From, rebored to undercut gears. Used as a Laguna secca race bike track bike. It was an absolute thrill! With its suspension upgrades it road like a dream. The 1150e coast about $4,300 new back then. Upgrades cost approximately another 5k to it. I love my Zrx 1200. But, with the upgrades to the1150e, it was hands down the best bike I owned. Shipped it to a buyer in Japan. Lucky guy! 😢
Sounds like your GS1150E was a monster!
Nice bike, I never had one but i do have a 1986 gsxr-750 and a 1988 gs 1100 katana. I owned the 750 since 1987. I would add this one to the barn.
Right on, Joel!
These are awesome bikes, I have 1985 1150 E in original stock condition. It's very quick even by today's standards. It's been a long time since I've seen one except on UA-cam.
Very true! I don't remember the last time I saw a nice one in person.
Just put my 85 blue and white ES in the garage from a spin around the countryside. Agree with everything said about this machine and own more user friendly bikes but the look, sound and vibe of this one keeps me rolling it out! It's just a fun bike to ride.
Right on Roger! I love the GS bikes. They have character and still really hustle when you want them to (especially with a few brake and suspension tweaks).
Bought a blue ese 84, brand new it was my DD at the time, put around 35,000 miles on it, loved it and should NEVER have sold it, just a nice to ride quick bike
Right on!
I had a 1983 750es Suzuki! Amazing bike!,
Right on! You might be interested in a recent restoratoin project I did on a 1982 GS750E. You can check out the playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PL0gjN9hf6pSrLeHyJVz42govmzF_2PfSM.html&si=SCrUcA440Xy8wLF0
Im about to get an 85 1150 gs next week and I cant wait!!! Ive wanted one since I was 7 !!! Thank GOD im being allowed to get one!!
Awesome! I'm truly happy for you. Cheers!
Another excellent video as always... I really liked the look of these bikes back in the day and still do now... I never owned one of these but a guy I knew had a GS-1150E which always impressed me
Very cool! The GS1150E is essentially the same bike as the ES.
Great looking bike. I really missed out on that time period of bikes . Enjoyed the video Jon and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
Thanks Henry!
I have the EF full faired model, bought it 35 years ago from new, but as you mention - at highway speed etc. it could use a 6th gear, so I decided prior to some of my extensive trips to the former Soviet Union, Turkey and other countries, to experiment with the gearing. Stock is 15/42, so I went to 40 rear initially - the engine behaved as if it really didn't care (not surprisingly).... so I went to a 16 front as well, and the engine still doesn't care. 😀However, that lowered the rpm to around 20 mph per 1,000 rpm, much more comfortable I think, and it still has plenty of torque to handle it, even through mountains with luggage and so on.
This is a muscle bike that will probably never die, unlike the rest of us...
Right on - great solution! I may consider gearing my GS1100E a bit taller as well. Stock, it is geared much shorter than my GS1100G and feels buzzier as a result. Do you have any turbulence issues with the fairing? The stock windshield on my (former) GS1150ES caused lots of wind buffeting on my helmet at speed. Cheers!
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 I'm glad if that could be an option for you as well, I really enjoy the result from that ratio change. Of course it does accelerate a bit slower because of that, but it's still more than fast enough for most people, I think. haha I did leave a 1250 Bandit behind a few years ago, so it's not too old for such show-offs. ;-)
Well, frankly I barely recall how it's like riding with the stock windshield; I bought a touring windshield from MRA some years ago which has a bend at the top to direct the air flow higher, and I think it's quite nice with that one. I do have quite some noise from the wind though, but that's mainly because of my helmet I think, as well as the fact that I usually keep the visor open, at least partially.
I think the wind noise and the vibrations from the engine at certain rpm's, especially if it's not very precisely adjusted and balanced, are the most annoying issues with this bike. Except for that, it's extremely powerful, comfortable and robust, I think.
A few years ago I installed some stiffer springs from Sonic Springs in the U.S. (0.90 kg), and used a thinner oil - that's made the front end much better and more responsive. This spring I finally got a couple of emulators from YSS installed as well, although they haven't yet been properly tuned; a little too stiff for me as it is, I think. But then again, for touring a softer suspension is usually a better choice, of course. Anyway, I'll see how it turns out with different settings, oil viscosity etc.
I'm planning on rebuilding it completely in the original colors, original parts etc. for it's 40 year birthday. 😀
@@brufnus So cool! I often spend time and money on the suspension and brakes of my vintage machines before the traditional go-fast parts. Better control and better brakes equals faster anyways. I low-sided my 1150 when I hit truck ripples while slowing for a stop. The stock front end and brakes both left room for improvement. Cheers!
In Australia it was called GSX1100EFE & the following year EFF . Mine also had a full fairing which looked great but made for a very hot motor in our summers.The handlebars were a strange angle, your wrists suffered cramps after awhile riding it .Powerhouse bike though....loved it!
Very cool Joe! I can imagine the lowers would trap the heat. We could get aftermarket lower fairings here, but I don't think it was a factory option.
Had one as well mate, an 84 in silver…. Wish i still had it
@@glennr2358 Nice Glenn, I never saw one in silver. We had the red and the blue here in the US.
I owned a 1985 1150 E model, and I remember it had a wicked death wobble when the throttle was quickly shut down
@@LindaDrabek-m4z It sounds like loose steering head bearings. They aren't particularly known for that problem, but it can happen on any bike. Wheelies and hard braking just make happen sooner. Cheers!
I had an 85 back in the day. I now have a red and black 1985 1150 E. I wanted to keep it stock, but i couldn't help myself. It has a 1229 kit, filter pods, and a Vance & Hines pipe. I also have an 84 GS 1150 ES. I obviously love these bikes.
Nice! Did you upgrade the brakes or suspension to cope with the extra power?
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Hello, what aftermarket shock would you recommend ?
I just bought a "barn find" example of this bike, stored away for nearly ten years and the rear shock looks unusable, and I believe they are not serviceable either.
@@manuelmontiel5418 Great question. I'm not sure what will work with that bike. You might want to check on some Suzuki GS1150 forums. Good luck!
Stock suspension for now. I do plan to upgrade the 85. That bike has 36mm rs flatslides. Insane mod for power.
You can get a Ducati monster shock. It’s a direct fit. That is my plan.
Had a Seca 550 just like the one you've pictured. Now in my twilight years, I settled on an 83 GS750ED.
You settled on a nice one!
Awsome 80s baby love it
Right on!
I bought a 85' Red and White "barn find".
It sat at least ten years when I found it and both the front and rear suspension were collapsed.
I hope to get it on the road soon.
Right on Manuel! They are beastly fast when running right. Good luck with it!
My father had a 1984 gs1150es back when he was in the navy that he bought used back in 86 and his navy buddy had purchased a brand new 86 Yamaha VMAX 1200. My dads buddy thought his Vmax was faster in the 1/4 little did he know that my dad had installed a bigger rear sprocket and a smaller front sprocket for better acceleration along with a header and beat his buddy's brand new Vmax by a few 10ths of a second. My first bike at 19 years old and currently still own is a 1985 Yamaha Vmax which my father trained me to ride as my first street bike without killing myself on it. He used to pop wheelies in his 1150 back in the day. When I saw him pop a wheelie on my 85 Vmax I shit my pants. He's almost 65 years old and pulled that front end off the ground easy like it was nothing. I asked him if he'd show me how to do wheelie's and he said hell no. To this day he still never wears a helmet and he rides a 2002 Honda 1800 which yeah it's not as fast as my bike but I was more scared to get on that Goldwing when he had me test ride it cause I was intimidated by that 800lbs pounds plus he needed a new front tire. Young guys my age look at the Goldwing like an old mans bike but have no idea what it's capable of.
You bring up so many good points, Brian. Owning the quickest bike doesn't make you the quickest. Rider skill is so often the determining factor on the road, and I've seen Goldwing riders outpace sportbikes on back roads. It's so cool that you still have your V-Max! Cheers
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 my dad was the better rider too.
@@briankrasne3518 Right on, I have great memories of riding with my dad as well. Cheers!
One of my favourite bikes.
Right on Glenn!
I own a 1986 GS1150E and the brakes on mine are some of the best out of the 25 other bikes I have. I totally agree with the buzz and am trying to figure out where it is coming from - it only does it at certain RPM (3 to 4 thousand RPM). It is a comfortable bike and I still enjoy riding it and get allot of compliments at gas stations / ect!
They are great looking bikes! My complaint with the brakes on mine was that the anti-dive didn't keep the front end from diving, but caused chatter while on the brakes over sharp bumps.
I took that fairing setup with the lower section and put it on my 83 GS110ES, I believe they designed it on that bike but used it on the more squared off looks of the 1150. Great looking bike. "But that is another story"
Very cool! I would like to see that.
I just get one with 1500 km age and in full original condition, video follows soon. Stunning looking bike!
Awesome! It sounds like you found a great example - and they're not common these days.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 yes it is. An museum condition/example
I rode in 1985 GS 1150 ES for 10 years I wish I still had it sellers remorse went to a 1994 RF 900 not the same thing
Yep, it's tough when you sell a bike, you really like! There are still a few GS1150s out there...
I was so glad when this bike came out because all the Yamaha fans kept bragging about how fast the V-MAX was so when this monster came out finally it was beat because I was a KZ fan but they were only fast if you did major modifications by that era!
@mcdaddydrewpounders Right on! Though, the V-Max went on to have a very long and successful production run and was also a great bike. Cheers!
I had the es, I live in LA, when I bought it they tried to keep me from buying it. I paid cash, back in the 80's a black man with cash was a suspected drug dealer. Super trap header, carb re-jet and clutch. My mechanic was John from "fours and more" Reseda Ca.
I bet it ran awesome! It was a beast of a bike.
About four years ago I headed to western Massachusetts to help my friend who bought a used motorcycle trailer. While at the guys house he had a pretty mint low mile gs1150e (no fairing) (always stored indoors). It was the first time I’d ever seen one that close. It was blue. He told me he bought it new and would probably sell it in the future but he wasn’t sure. I had no idea what the bike should sell for but if I had made him an offer on the spot I’m sure it would have gone home with us in the trailer.
The GS1150E is the ultimate expression of the air-cooled, big-bore 4-cyl UJM. There was a nice-looking red and black GS1150E for sale locally a few years back. Asking price was $3500. I debated about it but didn't buy it. Seems we both missed out.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Yeah but they’ll be others.
A couple of years ago I was looking for a winter project when a pretty clean Kawasaki ZR7S popped up on Craigslist. The bike is an anachronism. Kawasaki decided to put their 1980's air/oil cooled 750cc engine (prox 65rwhp) into a modern bike amidst a horsepower war. I had always liked the bike for its simplicity. It was there in the showroom next to the 2002 ZRX1200 that I bought.
I figured I’d refurbish it then give it to my nephew if he wanted it. I paid $1450 then sunk another $1300 into it, including a fork upgrade.
What I didn’t expect, as I’ve always owned powerful bikes, is how much I really like this bike. It goes just fine and now handles wonderfully and is super comfortable on long trips. It’s a great bike that few appreciate. Any of my friends that I let ride it really like it. I catch them admiring it.
I offered it to my nephew and he declined. He likes his old BMW cafe bike that they made, I think in the eighties.
So, I’m keeping it.
@@blipco5 Very cool! I owned the "R" version with the de-bored Z1000 motor. Loved most aspects save the very limited leg room.
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 I find plenty of legroom, my inseam is 33". They made an unfaired zr7 in 1999 and 2000. The zr7S has a quarter fairing from 2001 to 2005. The engine is from the 1982 GPZ 750.
@blipco5 I would love to ride one of the air-cooled models if I get the chance.
I used to own one of these I had a GS1150ESF I believe it was an 85. I miss it to this day… it was stolen in early 1990’s.
Right on! They were fast bikes. Cheers!
where was it stolen from?
@@paezjroger my home in the drive way
@@craigcaggiano431 Dang sorry, was a beautiful bike
I had one and completely agree about the vibes. I tried balancing the carbs many times, adding bar weights etc but it was always vibey. .Such a shame as I loved the looks and power
Yep. A 6-speed may have helped. But there were other 4 cyl bikes that were much smoother. 🤔
Cheers!
Cool bike, I think I'm going to like this channel.
Thanks! There are around 200 videos already posted. I hope you enjoy!
Hi Jon,from the picture the bike seems very long , I don't know if this appears so because of the smalish 16 inch wheels. By the way I'm not fan of those small 16inch wheels, doesn't this make the bike more twitchy at the corners?
I had the 1980 or 1981 Honda CBX (with black inverted com-star wheels) with 19 inch front wheels and that bike was very confidence inspiring at slow corners even with somewhat old tires. I also used to have a earlier Yamaha SRX-6 with 19 inch front tire; and I remember these two bikes were more stable and confidence inspiring at the corners than my TL1000S and SRX600 with 17 inch front tires. When the rubbers are new 17 inchers are ok ,but as the rubber gets old ,I feel like the smaller diameter of the front wheels brings the nervousness that a larger front wheel doesn't. So, I imagine 16 inch wheels could be worse?
The fact that we don't see 16 inch front wheels on bikes any more perhaps is because they were not good, right?
When the 1981 GS1100EX came with low 11second quarte rmile time, I thought the motorcycles would be at their peak of performance and would gradually decline in their performance levels due to emission regulations and so forth.I was wrong. The manufacturers kept upping the performance level even with the ever increasing emission regulations. My applause and admiration goes to the engineers and manufacturers that had made this possible.
Thanks always for the nice videos.
That's a great question about the 16" wheels. They make the bikes flickable (especially with new rubber) but can get twitchy as the tires wear. Bias ply tires vs radial tires impact the handling as well as wheel diameter, tire width, tire compound, and tire profile. As you mentioned, the 17" wheels are the current industry standard for sporty bikes. I don't mind them, but I still like the 19" vintage wheels as well. Cheers!
The bike is as long as they come, total length of 1535mm as i remember. In test at that time the 16" could be sensitive to steering input. Regardless of size it is about enertia. Is the rim heavy, is the tires 110 vs 120 and so on. I have 2 different 16" rim sizes 2.5" and 2.75" and have used both 110 and 120 tyres. My 2.75" 16" with 120 tire are just as stable as it comes. I is not prone to any direction change. 16" 2.5" 110 is another case.
As you saw in road racing they settled at 17". They really wanted 16.5" to work. Your comment about sensitivity in the front i would think is your steering bearing or rim bearings, maybe tire age/choice.
I have had 1100e with 19". 19" have a lower rotation speed compared with a 17", why the stability proberbly is worse. Its a combination of size weight and speed. At different speeds there can be advantages between those.
I have 3 bike, all chassis and rim bearings changed, using Metzler sport M5 on my 17" rims and the metzler me on my 1150 16" front 17" rear. I have no complains. The tire age are equal important, i belivs 4 year max du to the hardening of the compound and the imbalances.
Regarding the bearings.. just change them uf your bike is above 10 years or more. You will feel it and never regret it. Your bike will return to a new standard. I do only say that cause my own experience.
The same reason old bike will be like the Fenix. Poor maintenance is waisted time.
One I wish owned. My friend had an E & that thing will get 6 feet of rubber on full power shift to second gear. And would wheelie as well as my 900 Ninja!
Right on!
What a beauty 😍
I agree!
Put a pipe on it and some new tires and a steering damper cuz they get a front wheel wobble a lot when hit it hard
I have an 85 GS1150ES red and white, along with a 90 GSXR750 and an 82 KZ1000LTD. I bought all the parts to convert it to an E model. The higher bars, headlight/ brackets and instrument cluster bracket. The bike seems a little tall for me so i may lower it an inch or so? Not sure how to lower the rear? It has a Foxx shock. The forks can be raised. At 60 yrs old, im not sure how much longer i want to push these heavy bikes around? The 750 isnt too bad but its really a track bike with lights. I may end up going back to a 1200 Sportster? My friend had an 81 GS1100E and i loved it. Very good all around bike.
Right on, it sounds like you've got some good ones there! I have quite a few videos on the 1981 KZ1000 CSR (an LTD with spoked wheels). I swapped out the bars and exhaust and upgraded to steel-braided brake lines. It transformed the whole attitude of the bike. The lower, wider bars made the most difference in handling - making it feel much lighter and more flickable. I have a video of me doing some sport riding on it that will air in a few weeks so stay tuned!
I think you got the hp number wrong. I think its closer to 125hp. My 750 puts out 119hp and the 1000 puts out close to 100hp. I have read a couple places it is rated at 119hp and a couple that rates it 124hp. I think Cycle World rated it 124hp. Hyabusa is rated at 170hp.

@journeyquest1 I have to rely on old magazine tests (that differ from one another) when listing specs. Any time I list an hp spec, someone tells me it's wrong. Regardless, it's a very quick bike and performance-wise the pinnacle of the air-cooled inline fours. Enjoy yours!

I had a 1985 GS1150
Nice Frank!
is the 1983 GS1100 E more enjoyable than the 84' ?
Great question! I enjoy the earlier bikes for several reasons. They were smoother, the anti-dive wasn't as intrusive on the earlier machines, the 1150s had clutch basket issues, etc. Overall, I felt the quality on the earlier bikes was a bit better. Just my experience. Cheers!
I have had the 82/83 1100 111hp version and i have the 1150 124hp version.
There is difference on ccm 1074 vs 1135. The newer maybe a little more vibrations.
There is more power in the 84-, it have a better steering. It have a better fork if it works.
I loves my 82 for it's temper. It was nice. It's a 200 kmt bike as to, it reach for that speed with in sensible time. I don't think the 19" front is sutible for high speed.
There is more power to the 84- if you have a power version. It is adequate if you want enough power.
But for both they have bo be in good shape.
The 84- didn't have a clutch problem. There is 2 stories to the clutch. Owned by maniacs.. the bike is strong enough to survive but the plates bind into the aluminum baskets why they release poorly... any power bike will do that to the clutch when used hard. The inner basket is made of 2 metals, the inner part is steel the outer aluminum. Through time there can occur wear which will result in a kind of slapping when it idle.
Any motorcycle enthusiasts must sit down and think.. what items on my bi is wear items... it is actually any moving part including the clutch.
Old 1100/1150 will steer poorly if not maintained, they will be too soft in the suspension, and they will have a poor idling due to poor carburetor maintenance. A groved clutch will make the bike drag a little to more when in gear but clutch activated.
Try them out at follow sence and heart;)
Was the beginig of the sport bike
It was a fun era for motorcycles!
out but other than that the fastest thing
True, bikes like the FJ1100 and Ninja 900 worked better as cohesive packages. But the GS1150 was undeniably quick! Cheers!
I have 2. You are missing out the 124hp European version. 5 vs 6 gear transmission... the 5 gear speed is equal to the 6 gear speed, so you are just telling it can handle a higher gearing. My 1100wp from 93' i also 5 speed going above 270 The front fork issue is often cause to them either missing parts or wrong put together. None of mine were put together the right way. Issue with the bottom parts destroying damping. Can't be fixed with stronger springs. Original springs and a adequate oil. As we know, a 15 weight oil isn't the same in another brand, why it's a kind of investigation determinating what to go for. The 1150 need a thicker oil. The long movement in the front are offcause touring not sport. Use other forks for that.
It has vibrations. Original it comes with 4into2 exhaust. The original ensemble produce less vibes. It's an area of improvement for me at the time.
Due to the large engine, wear in bearings proberbly manifest more loudly.
As we se in the 80', it's proberbly the most exciting decade for motorcycles being powerfull enog to give high speed thrills. The 1150 had a weak point in the front fork. But in its time it was what was, and was adequate. Swedish tests at the time showed it a perfect big bike. The 1100f that came after used the same brakes.. incredible.
The one i ride is from 84. Never opened. 107000 km. Used on track. Is starts every time the button is pushed, and to this day it drag and accelerate with bikes in the same power area, it bottom drag with much more powerfull bikes as the never gsxr 1100' regardless of age.
I had a 1100e from 82'. 111 hp. Compared to a honda fireblade in a bottom drag, the honda fell back very poorly.
But ofcause it has a very heavy 6 gear, and then again much less weight.
Who would know that the cheep bikes from "Suzuki" would deliver such quality so many years later.
When you ride this bike, you ride proud motorcycle history. No never big touring bike can replace this blast from the past regardless of public road or track, in my book. It was my dream machine then, it still is.
Everytime she wakes up, it's a special happening.
I'll take a never bike for the long trip cause to vibration, only reason.
The 1150 came with minimum 2 different size of rims. The first most narrow with standard tire size give a very fast steering cause to the 16" front wheel. Today i have wide rims and 120 front 150 rear tires. It makes it a very steady and stable high speed touring bike.
All bearings in frame and wheels ofcause changed. This bike can be a very good ride, but it has to be upgraded on all items exposed to wear.
When renewed it becomes a very easy handled bike for men around 100kg.
Poor serviced bike are a pain regardless of when they are handled.
Thanks for the uoload.
Hi, Morten! It seems like you have a lot of experience and miles on your GS1150ES! Great points about the bearings and other maintenance items. I service or replace bearings on all my vintage bikes. I love the Suzuki GS series and have several in the garage currently. My favorite is the 1981 GS1100E. You can check out my ride review of the 1100E here: ua-cam.com/video/ITbYSAfhpyA/v-deo.htmlsi=gJpw6hGuEgEDDyiN
