Please note: The seller states that this GSX-R1100 will require a carb clean. He notes that he “rode it a few times but was unable to keep up with riding activity due to having so many collectable motorcycles.”
While the GSX-R750 debuted in 1985 for most countries, the US first got it and the bigger brother 1100 in 1986. It was an instant classic – an aluminum box frame housed a 128 horsepower oil-cooled engine, and it looked the part thanks to the full bodywork. The dry weight was 433 pounds, an impressively low number for the time.
It also became the first road bike to have a cartridge fork setup and electronically activated suspension. As Bennetts found in its review, “On the open road it was astonishing. Fast and torquey like nothing else I’d ridden, but nimble too, feeling like what I imagined a proper race bike would as it flicked from left to right on the smallest of rider inputs.”
Manufactured October 1987, this example is VIN: JS1GU74A4J2100150. The seller acquired the bike from Roaring Toyz Co. in Florida approximately eight years ago.
The odometer shows 14,670 miles.
