Hello GS Resource members,
I'm new here, from Canada and own a 1984 GS1150EF. I find it confusing on the naming and models of the 1150. In 1984 Canada had the GS1150EF, USA had the GS1150ES and other places it was called the GSX1100EF. I'm not sure why the US had a ES with no bottom lowers and the rest of the world did.
I have always loved the 1150 as an old school muscle bike with a jewel for an engine. When they came out, I believe the best 1/4 mile time I've read on this bike was 10.47 and that's even good today in my books.
I've heard these called rare but they were Suzuki's flagship bike and I believe a lot of them were made. It was one of the most expensive 1100 or large cc bikes in it's time.
I love this site because people can exchange info and learn about other vintage bikes. I'm a big fan of the GS1150 and I hope to find many people here that feel the same way. I always wished I live more south with the warmer weather because I realistic get only about 4 to 6 months of good riding weather here in Canada.
