Just now reading Cycle World's road test of the GS1100S in the February 1983 issue. According to them, the 1982 (first year) Katanas were 1,000cc (to comply with Superbike rules).
When Superbike changed it's limit to 750cc in '83, Suzuki put it's 1074cc engine in the new Katana. Also says the '83 vibrates and weighs less (3 lbs), and makes 3 more hp.
And that the suspension was vastly improved (softened) for '83. In '82 the suspension was "practically rigid at speeds less than 90 mph."1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
