Location: New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada Mileage: 31,068 (50,000 km) Price: $3,250 Here’s an opportunity to take home a legendary bike. For those in the know, the GSX-R 1100 is an icon. When it was released by Suzuki in 1986, the power of the air and oil cooled 1100cc motor built an instant following. It…
Location: Ely, Iowa Mileage: 13,800 Price: Auction, $4,000 BIN Here we have another mostly stock, clean, early Suzuki GSX-R 1100. Good clean versions of these bikes don’t survive intact over the years. Most met their fate by being dropped, wrecked, raced or modded out of existence. The air and oil cooled motor in these machines…
Location: Hyannis, Massachussettes Mileage: 30,353 Price: Auction, starting at $4,500 So if you spend a lot of time on RSBFS, as I like to do, then you start to get a sense of the history of the sportbike. If you do, then you also know the importance of Suzuki’s GSX-R line. The GSX-R 750 single…
Location: San Juan Capistrano Mileage: 20,789 Price: Auction, currently $1,825.00 Well, here we have another early GSX-R 1100, and I’ve said (on a ’91 750) that I think this is one of the best looking bikes ever built. And that I would put it up against any fancy Italian machine (or any other make) out…
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona Mileage: 14,152 Price: Auction, BIN $4,999 These bikes keep popping up here at RSBFS, and for me that’s a good thing. Being a big fan of the older (and newer) GSX-R’s I’m always excited to see original bikes still out there. Back in the day, they were like the current bikes today,…
Location: Minden, Nevada Mileage: 12,400 Price: Auction, current bid $2,025 Big v-twin race bikes. There was a time when many manufacturers built these, not just those little labels out of Italy. From this era came the Suzuki TL1000R, a direct competitor with the RC51, Honda’s version of the 1000cc v-twin race bike. There are many…
Location: Hollywood, California Mileage: 9,400 Price: Auction, BIN $5,500 Well, here we have one of my favorites. I’ve written on various early models of the Suzuki GSX-R 1100 and I love them all. This bike was a serious machine when it was released and the air and oil cooled motor put out extreme power (as…
Location: Homestead, Florida Mileage: 28,312 Price: Auction, currently $1,825 The CBR900RR really needs no great introduction to folks that have followed sportbikes for years. And maybe not even to those new to this world. It is a legendary machine that changed the face of sportbikes when it was released in ’92 as an early ’93.…
