Suzuki debuted the GSX1100F to the ‘GSX” line in the golden era of motorcycles – the 80’s. The F model was designed with sport-touring in mind, taking the engine that was in the current GSX-R 1100 and retuning it for better fueling, and better power delivery on the bottom-end. Suzuki did more than just adjust the fueling though, including a rebore, softer cams, and smaller Mikuni carbs, making this a more approachable and friendlier to ride bike for those long distance getaways.
Other features of this new for the time Katana included an electronically adjustable windscreen, redesigned steel frame, and a 5.5 gallon tank.
Stemming from the lack of Swiss-army-knife do it all that was the GS1150, the newly debuted GSX1100F offered those similar features to the already established Suzuki market. The Katana was now boxed up in a demure, reserved, and approachable package that allowed riders that didn’t fit into the current line of Suzuki models to feel welcome with the brand in blue hailing from the land of the rising sun.
