Elk Grove Village, Illinois
We featured an ’83 GS1100E back in 2019 on RSBFS and Aaron explained, “it’s from the dawn of the Golden Age of sportbikes, before fairings, but after AMA Superbike had sparked rabid passion for roadracing. In the wake of bikes like the Kawasaki Z1-R, the GS1100E helped build the bridge between the big four-cylinder bikes of the 1970s and the fully-faired featherweights that popped up in the late ’80s.”
12,800 miles. Excellent condition.
Newer tires. New front struts.
Like new. All original.
Contemptuous Ease
From Cycleworld‘s review in ’83, “It all adds up to street performance that one rider described with the words, contemptuous ease.
This is an engine that responds instantly, rocketing the motorcycle forward anytime the twist grip is opened, without any sense of strain or work, pulling strongly from 4000 rpm and leaving stoplights quickly at anything above 1500 rpm. Frantic isn’t in the GS1100’s vocabulary. The GS1100’s low-and-mid-range acceleration isn’t as violent as that produced by the V-Four Flonda V65, but then the GS doesn’t have the V65’s acceleration-limiting chassis quirks, either. Turn on the gas at 4000 rpm and traffic disappears, effortlessly.”
With only 12,800 miles and it looks to be in great shape, this will make someone happy!
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
These seem to have become more popular over the years. Still a good looking bike.
And you can’t deny 1100cc of boost.
Not all original, but a clean bike.
