From what I gather this engine does not have shim valves and has a roller bearing crank....correct?

No shims,screw and nut adjusters,it is a plain bearing engine.One of Suzuki's first along with the GS 400/450's of 1980.Here's the manual http://www.mtsac.edu/~cliff/storage/gs/GS750_16valve.pdf and a link to the VERY handy BassCliff site http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

i came across this on the roller bearing crank

The GS1100E (and its? stable mates, the GS1100L, the GS750E, and the GS750L) did not break any technological ground except for one thing ? the narrow angled valve design that Suzuki called TSCC or Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber. The design came from the British motor engineering firm Cosworth, well known for their special racing engines that were campaigned around the world with great success. The narrow included valve angle allowed for less restrictive flow both into and out of the cylinder. Not only did it improve power output but also resulted in a cleaner burning engine. For this reason the 16-valve GS motor has been called the first ?modern? motorcycle engine, despite not being water-cooled. Other features were a roller bearing supported main crank

Belive that or the manual from Suzuki,the 1100 was rollers,the 750 wasn't.
 
In 1982 the cranks on the 1100 were roller and the cranks on the 750 were plain bearing. That article was specifically talking about the 1100E and correctly noted that the crank was roller bearing supported. The early 750 engines were roller bearing as well but changed to plain bearings in 1980 I believe.
