Better known for their two-strokes, in 1977 Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with Japanese build quality and performance levels. The GSX range appeared in the early 1980s, pairing Suzuki's bulletproof bottom end with four valves per cylinder. The legendary GSX1100 was one of the most powerful bikes of the day and became the starting point for many 'streetfighters' and drag race specials.
This rare, unmodified GSX1100E ‘muscle bike’ is the ultimate expression of Suzuki’s air-cooled four-stroke range before they moved onto oil- and then water-cooling. Although a powerful bike in its day, there was plenty of scope left for tuning its over-engineered motor, so very few have survived in standard trim. This bike has been part of a private collection for a while and is only being sold to make space in the vendor’s garage. Run in March (see video) it may need a new battery before use and, although fitted with a Cobra four-into-one, it comes with a genuine and rare black chrome four-into-two exhaust system. Also included is a belly pan, 20 old MOTs, some invoices, a magazine featuring the model, an MOT until August 2024 and a current V5C.
