In the early 80s, Suzuki knocked off the CBX as the superbike du jour. The Suzuki GS1100E came into the market and instantly became the bike of choice for the power hungry. American press mags constantly raved about not just the power, but also the surprising handling abilities for such a large bike.
In years prior, the GS series was designed to be an all-around standard. However, in 1982, Suzuki broke up the biggest GS with different models like the E and the G.
The G became a lazy man’s tourer, which freed the E from its constraints. It evolved into king of the dragstrip. The engine got some extra work, and cosmetics were slightly tweaked, leading to a bike more similar to the early Katanas, and an engine that produced over 100 horsepower and nearly 70 foot-pounds of torque.
Manufactured in October of 1982, this example is VIN: JS1GU73A5D2101720, Engine #: GS110X161167. The seller has owned the bike since April 2022.
The odometer shows 20,952 miles. Please note, the seller is currently riding the bike and the miles will increase accordingly.
