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. 1991 brought mechanical upgrades in the form of larger carbs, but the most obvious changes were a series of significant cosmetic changes – the bodywork was restyled and the headlights were covered.
Basic specifications of the ’91 model were 145 horsepower and 497 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.”
This example is VIN: JS1GV73AM2101754.
The odometer shows 19,541 miles.
Maintenance:
We have not fully inspected this bike, however during the running video we noted that the tach does not work and the carbs need to be tuned. It starts, idles, and takes throttle, but there is a soft spot right off idle.
Modifications:
Sudco exhaust.
Second Look seat.
Aftermarket bar-ends.
This GSX-R1100 is missing its front turn signals.
It is also missing decals on the lower fairings.
Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
Inside of the tank:
It is riding on Bridgestone Battlax BT50F tires that have aged out.
The sale includes one key.
