Hi Mark,
I'm Quentin Finucan, the long time owner of this 1980 Suzuki
GS1100E. I bought this bike way-back in 1981 from a motorcycle
dealership in LaCrosse, WI. The previous owner was too short to ride
it comfortably, which turned out to be my good fortune !
My GS1100E had just a couple of
thousand miles on it when I bought it, and came with an RC
Engineering header and a custom stepped-down seat. The original
factory exhaust was also included in the deal.
Today my Suzuki has about 34,000
miles on it and looks almost as good as the day I bought it, thanks
to a good friend's help and hard work.
Recently, I entered my bike in a
vintage motorcycle show. It didn't get recognized with a trophy, but
it sure gave me a lot of pride seeing it in such detailed condition,
and watching the show goers look nostalgically at it !
(mine was the only GS1100E in the show)
I have another bike that is
technically more advanced (Kawasaki ZRX1200) but you know
what?....it's still fun to run my Suzuki GS1100E !!!
