I agree with Trevor, I can't imagine a 16 valve GS1100 lacking torque. I would think there is something not right with the motor.Comment

ride an 1150 and you'll think the 1100 had a plug wire fall off

Moving from my 750EX to a first ride on the 1100ED was pretty exciting when I first opened it up. But after I had some miles under my belt on the open road, and then dropped-in () the 1166 is really nice. Where I used to have to down shift from 5th to 4th to get passing acceleration, now it is the same with just a small twist of the throttle.

Doesn't really lack torque... I just always want more? Whenever I get used to a bike's low end, what used to feel face-melting becomes the norm and I start pining for more umf. I dunno. I think I have a condition?
Anyways, the torque is fine. I'm gonna keep it stock for now and have fun.Comment
