    Can anyone translate this GS1100 GSX1400 German to English?

    Hi all, found this cool article about a GS1100 (or GSX1100 in other parts of the world), but cannot get any of the usual translate sites to work with it. They all say it is too large?



    Thanks in advance, Joe

    Does the article explain why Germans seem to like to raise the tail of a bike about 300 mm?

      Not sure on that, as I don't understand any German. Mostly interested in the engine details, 1400cc at 180-200 HP or PS. That and the weight savings, 400 lbs finished bike? I would like a bike or package like this, but retain a more original look and color. Twin Ohlins shocks, widened swing arm for 180-200 rear tire, Ohlins conventional forks at 43mm, modern brakes front and rear, carbon fiber 18" wheels, 1983 red paint, etc

        Email the magazine and ask for a translation.

          Google Translate didn't have any trouble.

          You can mostly make it out, but be prepared to remain baffled here and there. German idioms are difficult.

            I believe it started out as a GSX1100 1985 if I am reading it correctly. Must be a model we didn't get. Has alot of lines similar to the 83 750e
