We didn’t spend much time perusing eBay this week, as we quickly ran into this lovely 1982 Suzuki GS1100E. Though not necessarily rare, you don’t see many of these around in good shape anymore, and this is one to quickly take note of.
This 1100 has recieved some refurbishment, and according to the auction, it has a fine-running, stock, original motor. The clutch is solid, the transmission shifts cleanly, it starts nicely and pulls strong through all the gears. This two-owner bike was owned by a pilot who appears to have taken good care of it over the years. It has progressive springs in the front forks, K&N pod filters, a Supertrap pipe, jetted carbs, a nearly-new front tire and more.
