More of a bike than 98% of people can handle. Its a legend of a bike. 👍

Still my Favourite bike, still love the styling even now.

Memories. Weekly rides into Sydney from the Northern Beaches with 10+ bikes. Gixxer 1100s x3 ZXR 750s x4 from H2s to J2 and Honda Fireblades. No police radars, no speed cameras, no wheelie control (so lame) no ABS, basically no BS riding under streetlights and through tunnels, parking on street corner cafes with the bikes on the pavement next to us. Swapping rides, never owned a GSXR1000 but rode them many times on these nights. Always wanted one as they were the most comfortable of what we were riding and just felt like a boss with the torque and engine size winding on the throttle. Miss those days. All legendary bikes without the computer aids. It just felt more pure.

clean bike , still have my 1100 1991 with 109 000+ kms on the clock , bought it in 93. ride it almost everyday , never let me down

i have exactly the same one L model and red black colors. bought it in 1996, and still own it. it stays in the living room..... in winter behind the sofa.

I began road biking in 1967, after a few years over fields, and have ridden about eighty different models regularly switching from sports to tourers. The GSSR1100 was by far the very best sports bike I ever owned. I bought an early full power black / silver model in the late 80s and rode over 8k on it including Tunbridge Wells to Wisbech every week. Then almost 35 years ago (seems like yesterday, almost) so I then rode most everywhere flat out, not so difficult with few cameras and fewer / safer drivers. Totally impossible these days with honest number plates, and on crap country roads. The bike was light, was willingly thrown around, and easily and naturally became an extension of oneself. It was a FANTASTIC RIDE. Much better than today's Hayabusa. Open the throttle at 100 m.p.h. and the front wheel lifted off the ground and rocket accelerated! When I sold it my buyer tested it with me as pillion. I well recall him screaming in genuine desperation "How do I slow it down, I'm terrified?!!!" It needed such a small throttle opening. Nowadays at 72 years old I tootle around on my Honda Valkerie Interstate (much much harder to ride) and today I seriously looked at a very low mileage GSXR on the internet as a second bike. Then I got real: A great bike to look at and wax but far too fast for today's road conditions, and if I still fancied track days it would not be quite fast enough if one could afford a £40k dedicated track bike. So my head eventually won over my heart. But I enjoyed many happy memories. P.S. What is more suitable for today's roads if one wishes to pose / kid oneself on an attractive looking bike - I would recommend something along the lines of a Ducati 800SS.

I bought a blue and white one in 1992 and LOVED it. Fantastic engine, pulled like a rocket so that the horizon came quicker at you than you could understand. I STILL LOVE the styling with the double headlights. Suzuki was big in 24 hour endurance racing and this bike's styling came from those 24 hour racers. Thanks for the video, it's great to see and hear it again. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

My racer mate had one of these back in the day, we used to get our knees down two up, amazing that I’ve made it to 57 😂

Beautiful bike. The styling of it is classic and never will look out of place against newer bikes

This always was , still is , and always will be , the pinicale of motorcycle's. Blue and white even better. No argument, it just is .

Age doesn't make them slow or soft, still a bloody powerful bike and still beautiful. You lucky bugger getting to ride one. I had an 1100 and I miss it. Damm I wish I kept it.

i absolutely love the trainers and no socks choice of footwear ! with jeans! takes me back to the days whe i was arseing around on a KH250, my mate on an X7 and our wealthy friend on a newly released rd250lc ! all on L plates in those days and we all wore centurion piss pot helmets!!

this was kotaro minami's bike kamen rider black sun movie back then.. love this legend bike ❤❤❤ i have little gsxr150.. really nice bike..

I was absolutely delighted to see your review on this model GSXR 1100. I’m thinking about buying one of these vintage versions just now, I really can’t help liking them, I’m not fussy about the new model bikes really. My respect thanks.

Looks and sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

What a bike, looks like new, sounds awesome. Great video mate !

Total monster bike!

awesome bike man! so classic & everlasting design ❤️

Got an '88 1100 chucked Brembo's and radial master cylinder on that sorts the brakes,never spent a cent on the engine absolutely bullet proof and serious street cred when rolling

My favourite sportsbike design from that period and they still look the business today. I walked passed a suzuki dealership everyday on my way to high school and in my final year would leave early each day so I could spend a couple of minutes drooling at the three different coloured versions in the showroom window each morning. Despite three decades of riding i never got around to getting one.And now thirty years later methinks the time has come to realise those boyhood dreams - thanks for providing me with a bit more inspiration

A cooool set of wheels and very clean love the retro styling and I bet she goes

i have still got mine in the same red and black colour, it was the first bike i got my knee down on,i fitted braided brake lines and abc disc's plus pads,stops ok now,big old bus to what you can get today ,nice video mate

I have one of these but this is the prettiest one I've seen of late. Super rare in the states.

What a machine! Sounded proper. I have a 2014 Busa, my 4th, Suzuki? Never fails, and yes, I did like the video.

Nice video 👍. The big 1100 makes a really good road bike nowadays. You're right about changing the pads, plus the old hoses - pretty decent after that. That 1100L must've had a decent shock, mine was shot when I got it, fitted a Nitron and it was surprisingly good after that.

Great looking bike!

Awesome video.

I had one of those for ten years , same colour scheme . I'm getting goosebumps just watching this . Then I had a WP for another ten years . The handling was much better but the engine didn't have the moody character of the L model .

I had a 1989 K model. What an absolute weapon it was😎👍

Still looks cool today

very cool recently got the 750 ....doing it up

That is a beautiful bike.

Got one and I lov it. 92 red with black with many tasty goodies 👌

Good seeing it again, I don't even consider that bike old, it even has upside down front forks

This is cool. 😍

Similar callipers to the MK1 Bandit 1200 which can be made to work really well with some TLC 👍

Had a 87 blue and white big bore kit I believe it was a 1330 can't find paperwork that bike at that time was it a little soft in the corners by today's standards but blistering quick and incredibly fast .

Very cool bike

Eu tive esse 1100 katana. foi minha melhor moto andava muito e tinha velocidade superior a todas as novas Suzuki. Tinha um Dop nos garfos q travava a suspensão pra fazer curvas em alta velocidade...Top Queriia comprar de novo..

I have a 1986 GSXR-750 i got back in 1987, and a 1988 1100 katana, I will keep rideing them, the 1100 is a bit old looking, kinda like me,It has 49,000 miles on the clock , Bikes you had to learn how to ride, no fancy computer aids to help you. P S how much power & speed do you need, the 750 pumping out around 100HP & the 1100 pushing out around 138HP. Great video, nice old 1100.

Badass bike.

My dream bike

Condition is pretty good. Mine looks not so perfect. (GSXR-1100 N) But was used the complete year since end of 91. And just a correction I run my brakes with racing pads and Spiegler Stahlflex. The brakes are way better than on a brand new ZX-10R!

My favorite motorcycle

Loved my 1989 1100K. I wish I could have kept it, but the lure of a KR1-S was too strong and I went back to 2 strokes for a while.

Love Suzuki lots...my favorite brand

i had a 1990 750 in red. Always wanted an 1100, but i now have two 91 zx11s. the 1990 gsxr is hard to find.

Now you're talking!

I have that good bike love Suzuki

Class mate 💪👍🏻

I purchased that bike from a U.K. dealer while in Afghanistan and had it shipped back to the U.S., it now lives in Cocoa Florida, Still has the U.K. G907 ATL Tag

thats an absolute beauty

I’ve got a 1100 H and a 1100 K and prefer these to any modern bike. Also they did a track test in the States and an GSXR 1000 K5 was quicker on the track than a new Ducati V4 and they don’t burn you legs which is always a bonus 🤣🤣

I have one, bored out to 1277cc forged internals, bigger oil cooler, dyna 2000, balanced crank, stage 3 head flow, stage three 3 cams, forged Conrad’s, external oil lines to head, modern clutch, all gears back cut, titanium 4 into 1 yoshi r3 with yoshi tmr mjn race 41mm carbs, plus many more mods, does over 200rwph as a bike, has 170rwhp as a sprint car- 4 times the weight. Built by a drag engineer as a reliable bike at 12.5:1 compression, ohlins rear, race tech springs up front. 1 mm valve increase with titanium retainers. Sleeves just where not bored out, but rather sleeves dropped, then bored, then sleeved then bored to maximise sleeve thickness. Currently running mid 8 in std looking bike in pristine condition. Got dynos to prove hp. Whoops every new bike even with a power commander and pipe.

Its the best lookin bike there....

This is my style of Superbike.. much prefer over today’s.. but I’m 49 and old lol.. Recently added a nice 750 SRAD to my collection and love riding it 👍🏼

Were did you find the decals,or is it original

Love the bike….safety gear is not underrated!

Yo solo tengo el motor. Ya el chasis se fregó. Si alguien tiene para vender chasis tanque y todo lo demas. De la Suzuki GSXR 1100 quiero comprar.

I had a 1994 ,real beast.

My tach starts at 3000rpm. Blue/White -89 Slingshot 1100

How do you know the difference between 1100L and 1100K models?

Donde venden esa moto. Soy de Bolivia

Them old boys look way more masculine compared to the new bikes

R u in the US?? And how much if its for sale? Im looking for a clear one just like it

143 bhp. 80ft torque. 80 ft lb of torque. 143 bhp. Beautiful motorcycle. Shes a Lady x
