The '''Suzuki GS1100E''' was [[motorcycle]] made by [[Suzuki] that replaced the [[Suzuki GS1000E|GS1000E]]. | |||
==Description== | |||
The [[Suzuki GS1000E|GS1000E]] had proved to be a very capable machine, with a strong engine and terrific handling, but in terms of top speed, and particularly quarter mile performance, it was beaten by the Honda [[Honda CBX|CBX]] and [[Yamaha XS11|Yamaha's XS11]]. Suzuki lost sales as a result... hence the reworking of the GS1000E into the GS1100E. The new engine benefited from a four valve per cylinder head, and had much more power than its predecessor. As a result, the 1100 was the new Speed King. Power was spread across the rev range, and it could pull from as little as 2000rpm. The GS1100E retained the ergonomic features of the 1000, and was a comfortable mile eater, as well as an eye opening performer. Power in 1980 was 86.67@8000rpm, with torque of 59.73@6500rpm. wet weight was 563.5lbs. | |||
