Suzuki had shown itself the absolute leader in terms of top-of-the-range sports machines with its [[Suzuki GSX-R750|GSX-R 750]] and [[Suzuki GSX-R1100|1100]]. In 1991 it launched the GSX1100G, a more mature [[motorcycle]] without a fairing. With this "basic" version, Suzuki was merely following the trend towards simpler, more usable bikes which were more easily affordable. | [[Suzuki]] had shown itself the absolute leader in terms of top-of-the-range sports machines with its [[Suzuki GSX-R750|GSX-R 750]] and [[Suzuki GSX-R1100|1100]].

Though they didn't have a single component in common, it was difficult at first glance to tell the 1991 GSX-G and the [[Suzuki GS1100E|1982 GS1100E]] apart, for they had the same starting point and followed the same general style. The GS1100E of 1982 was derived from the most futuristic super sport of its day, the [[Suzuki GSX1100F|1100 Katana]] , though with less aggressive styling. It also used the Katana's 111hp engine,which gave the GSX-G Grand Tourer a top speed of over 110 mph, which was scarcely practical with out a fairing . | Though they didn't have a single component in common, it was difficult at first glance to tell the 1991 GSX-G and the [[Suzuki GS1100E|1982 GS1100E]] apart, for they had the same starting point and followed the same general style.
