In compairison which is faster gs1150 or gsxr 1100

[racer1150]

Ok so I had a 1985 Gs1150 awhile back. The blue and white model, 1985. And I must say, for an old bike, I really really loved the torque and speed it had. Oh and it was all stock except for a full exhaust by Vance & Hines. I needed money at the time and sold it ..Darn it. Oh well life goes on. Ok heres my question. I know the gs1150 has 1136 cc's stock. And am planning to stick a 1989 gsxr 1100 (1127 stock ) on a gs1150 frame I have laying here. Will it run like the gs1150 or will it be a lot more torque, speed,etc. ? Thanks for the input

Less torque, more hp. The GS motor has more potential than the GSXR in a GS frame. Weight, or LESS of it, was why the 86 GSXR was such a rocket in it's day. Ray.

more money more power

more money more power

my comparison of which is faster?-- Pro Stock N.H.R.A. Suzuki guys still run the GS 1150 base engine not the 2nd GEN GSXR...

Guess for real world riding it depends on how much money you are willing to dump into either one.

1127 is a cool engine. but the rods are heavy and weak, wise decision get H beams.

plain bearing engines- yuck.

In stock form there is no comparison, The GSXR motor is about 45HP more. Both answers to your question prior are based on if you build to motors.

ross,
no.
1150=101@ the rear wheel.
1127 engine 128 or so@ the rear wheel.
he's talking oil cooled GSXR...not anything injected.

thanks

thanks

Thanks blowerbike, thats wat I opt to know , in stock form. As I dearly loved my old 1150 which was my daily driver but since then sold it but was wondering if I would have if the same power with a gsxr 1127 oli cooled motor stuff in my 1150 frame since I have a motor here but would really love a 1150 but cant afford one. Anyone wanna trade straight across? hihih lol. for a 1150 motor. BTW blowerbike hows your neck of the woods? I see you are in Ohio? Used to stay in Gallapolis and loved fishing my backyard ( the ohio river)

Suzuki rated the '84 GS1150 at 119 h.p. and the '85 GS1150 at 124 h.p. this would be crank h.p.

Preach on,most people have no idea,cant count how many times when I worked at Baltimore Cycle Salvage did I see a GSXR or ZX almost brand new looking with a rod hanging out the front of the engine...GS for life....
