Previewing in Toronto, Ontario by Appointment. Please contact [email protected] for scheduling.

Introduced in 1982, the GS1100 was the culmination of a much-loved line of big Suzuki 'fours' that had commenced back in 1976 with the introduction of the GS750 sports roadster. The latter was Suzuki's first multi-cylinder four-stroke, and when it arrived, set new standards of performance for the 750 class. A range of related models followed in capacities of 850, 1,000 and 1,100cc, including shaft-drive tourers usually identified by a 'G' suffix.

The GS1100L presented here belongs to a large collection of motorcycles located in the surrounds of Toronto. The bike is a true survivor and appears to be all original
