      It's either a 750 or 1100. I cant tell from that pic - someone else with a keener eye might be able to spot the differences but the capacity will be stamped on the cylinder block.
      Current:
      Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha :eek:)

      Past:
      VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
      And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....

                  I'd say 750 if it doesn't have the aluminum swing arm and I don't thing the 1100E came with leading axle forks.

                      As a matter of fact, the '80 and '81 750E and 1100E did come with leading-axle forks.

                              It's either a 80 or 81 750, someone cut the seat down from the looks of it.

                                  Thanks everyone for the help. While I was there I also purchased a modified generation of 6 8.2 engine and trans for my Chevy Astro. The 4.3 went south so I'm fixing it.

                                          Buahaha!

                                          I recognize a "walker" when I see one too!

                                          I was gonna guess 750 as well...lots of info provided, as usual.

                                              I don't know about that. I had a 81 750E and a 80 1100E and neither of them had leading axle forks.

                                                  My 80 750 had them, my 80 1100 had them X 2. Put them on my 83 Kat, they're better forks with more adjustment than what came on the 83's.

                                                      They did stock for those two years only on the 80 and 81 750E and the 1100E, 82 models went to the over the axle forks. The L models for the same years had leading axle forks as well. Matter of fact the forks you see on my bike now are off an 80 1100E.
