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 bringing together the GS' bulletproof bottom-end, but now with 4 valves per cylinder in a TSCC twin swirl combustion chamber. The legendary GSX1100E was one of the most powerful bikes of the day and became the starting point for many 'streetfighter' and drag race specials.

This GSX1100ET has been part of a private collection for several years that is now being downsized to make way for other projects. It has been modified along the way, with later 3 spoke 17" GSXr wheels, floating disc, Nissin front calipers, SW rear shocks, raised straight drag bars, lengthened swing arm and a stepped seat, all finished off in a custom paint job. The exhaust is a Harris Works Collection four-into-one and breathing through K+N style pod air filters, with the original standard air box included in the sale. The bike has been stood for a while and will therefore require recommissioning before use, but it will make an interesting talking point at any bike gathering. It is being offered with a curent V5C.
