    Looked at one yesterday, $8999.00 CDN.
    1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head
    1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017

    I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

        I don't think that GSX "competes" with the CB1100. I think it blows it's doors off in every way.

        2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

              It's only 105 hp, though that does come with 93 lb ft of torque. Does low 11's in the quarter. I imagine its roll-ons would be good.

                      They are not stock, no. It's a 78 750 brat style with straight stacks no filters, rejetted carbs, dyna s with green coils. ss breaklines and completely redone wire harness. I have not had it on the track yet but I'm hitting 120 by the end of the 1/4 mile stretch I have measured on the road behind my neighborhood. The 79 1000 is hitting 125 in the same stretch. Same deal with the 79 except stock air box and k&n filter.

                        Ageed, I would think it should do better than just low 11's. Especially with today's technology.

                            1000 also has 1100 aluminum swing arm and custom pressed hagons on the back. progessives in the front. a 79 750l tail instead of the much heavier 1000l tail. 4 to 1 exhaust. yeah, i think I've gotten about as much out of it as i can without getting too crazy

                                Why don't you run filters? Do you like running dirt through your engine?
