1988 - 1993 Suzuki GSX-R 1100L[edit | edit source]
For 1988 the GSX-R 1100L bike was again tweaked and the wheelbase lengthened to correct the previous year's handling problems. 1991 (M model) saw the addition of larger carburetors and major cosmetic changes when the fairing was reworked to place the headlights under a smooth plastic cover that helped the bike's aerodynamics. 1992 (N model) was mechanically the same but offered more aggressive graphics in line with the time. It was also the last year of the oil-cooled engines as the bike was re-designed for 1993.
