GS1000E or GS1100G? Opinions please

Hey man, tell us more about the GPZ1100, heck this is a discussion area. those GPZ's have been talked about in a couple of threads, within the past week, in the For sale-road ready bikes, section. Are you talking GPZ1100, as in orig. "81" or "82" models, or the later models, with the better newer technology stuff.

its an 83 GPz1100. The model that had the Unitrack. It?s had the fuel injection replaced with a bank of cv carbs from a kz1000. It is being sold by Atlanta Motorcycle Works, a vintage repair shop that I?ve used and they do really high quality repairs and custom builds. They?re asking 1750 for the bike. Which is what I?m planning on offering the ?79 GS1000. My order of interest is ?79 GS1000, the GPz, and then the GS1100G. The plan is to check them all out and get the one I like most. I?m just super excited to be able to get a second bike!!!

It is good to see that these bikes are still being coveted.

I'm partial to the 1100G. Had an 850 and now the 82 1100. I'm not dragging anything in corners, but if you want a bike that is as reliable as a stone hammer the 1100G is it. I replaced my splines with no issues. I have an airbox and the only mod is the K@N filter which make the bike about 15 MPH faster.....
Once you get the carbs good and clean and adjusted, they seem to stay that way. I personally like not having to deal with a chain.

My .02 cent.....enjoy!

I've had both chain and shaft drive bikes and, frankly, could not tell much if any difference in handling charactersitics.

I would think the handling has more to do with the rider than the ride. A well skilled rider can make nearly any bike look as though it handles great.

Still say get the K75...
