1989 Suzuki GSX-R1100 review from United Kingdom

"Awesome machine with well deserved reputation"

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

Second gear went, kept jumping out after a series of naff wheelies... more practise needed.

General comments?

GSX-R1100 K.

Great bike, cheap insurance as now over 15 years old (me and bike!).

Plenty of power and tons of part available, spares & performance.

Turned mine into a Streetfighter with the help of 'eBay'.

Not for the faint hearted, but a superb bit of kit.

Cult following for this mean machine.
