Slabby in Snow- ’87 Suzuki GSX-R 1100

Location: Limerick, Maine     Mileage: 25,000    Price: Auction

If you happen to live in the Northeast (or anywhere really) and have a jones for an original Suzuki GSX-R 1100, then you best get on this auction. A huge fan of the brand myself, I love to see these pop up so they can be on RSBFS. The GSX-R 1100 was a monster when it was released. Too much engine? Not for the brave. It was power, lots of power, in a relatively light package for the time. This bike is legendary, pure and simple.

From the seller-

Classic GSXR!  Original paint, decals, platics etc.  Very nice shape for age.  The bike has been adult owned and is in good to very good mechanical and cosmetic condition.  Could use a good cleaning as it was stored for a while.  The carbs were cleaned and it does run well but a thorough carb cleaning and tune up would be a good thing for this bike, other than that it is ready to ride.  You don’t see many GSXR’s of this vintage in this condition.

Edit: added VIN JS1GU74

Serial # 7H2100457

More pics-

This looks like an all original example, save the exhaust. That’s a rare thing indeed these days. The seller says the bike runs well but could use a thorough carb cleaning. Paint looks good and the windscreen even looks stock (never happens). The bike is listed at 25,000 miles, not too crazy for the age, and these oil-cooled engines are known for their bulletproof nature. If it runs well and has had proper maintenance, then you should have many happy riding days ahead of you.

These bikes are rare and clean examples should only continue to rise in value. This one is pretty clean and stock. A nice choice for the rider or collector. Just don’t ride it on the snow.

To make a play on a classic, make the jump!
