Description
Please note: The seller states that this GSX-R1100 will require a carb clean. He notes that he “rode it for less than 100 miles. Then, like most collectors, just can’t get to riding all the bikes in our collection so carbs gummed up.”

A year after Suzuki changed the sportbike game with the GSX-R750 in 1985, they rolled out the big brother GSX-R1100. The press and the public ate it up, but that didn’t stop Suzuki from making changes every single year.
Basic specifications of the ’90 model were 145 horsepower and 485 pounds – heavy nowadays but a featherweight when it was released. A Modern Classic review on Bennetts describes the 1100 Gixxer by saying, “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 January 1990, this example is VIN: JS1GV73A3L2102621. The seller acquired the bike approximately eight years ago from Kaplan Cycles.
The odometer shows 3,993 miles.
