Suzuki had a bit of a horsepower dynasty going in the early 1980’s, their DOHC air-cooled fours having plenty of power and potential for lots more. The GS1100E was their very sporty standard, years before naked superbikes became a thing. 1982 Suzuki GS1100E ( Canada ) for sale on eBay Looking a little staid in…
Back on eBay with some new pictures after last year’s – RSBFS post – and auction which did not meet the reserve – Donn Massimo Tamburrini was still at Bimota when the ground-pounding SB4S was introduced, using the 1,075cc Katana air/oil-cooled engine. Though power is similar between the Suzuki GSX-1100S and the SB4S at around…
Update 11.3.2018: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc By the time the early 1990s rolled around, four-stroke performance motorcycles like Suzuki’s GSX-R750 had gotten more powerful, more refined, and much heavier. Seriously, the GSX-R1100 of 1993 weighed in at 560lbs wet! Luckily, two stroke sportbikes at least remained pretty svelte. Although…

There is a certain #metoo movement in current motorcycle design. But cast your eye back a few short – like 40 – years…
The issue with a lot of the little two-stroke terrors that we feature is that they’re rare and often in museum-quality condition; original down to the pre-mix molecules. Not only is riding around on 20-year-old Dunlops a shame for a bike’s originality, it’s a pretty much guaranteed emergency room visit. So, too often the compulsion…
