Faults:

Minor oil leak, unsure if it's from an oil cooler fitting or cylinder case etc...

General Comments:

Solid ride, good handling, slightly cramped for tall folks -6'2" or taller.

Could use better mirrors - too close to the center, restricts view a bit.

First shaft drive I've ridden at 130mph+.

Oddly, attractive.

Dependable as an anvil.

Engine lives happily between the 80's era GS 750/1100 E models and the hyper-bike class.

Easy enough to live with, but still a little busy for a cruiser class machine.

Faults:

Oil line leak at 25,000.

Clean carbs twice in 85,000.

Many batteries, tires, oil changes in 85,000.

New jet needles and needle jets in carbs at 80k, mileage dropped from 43 to 39, now at 45 mpg.

General Comments:

Fast, reliable, more a tourer than sport bike, have made many modifications to make it safer, more reliable, and comfortable.

Added a battery switch, light switch, wider seat, windshield, bent handlebars back, throttle rocker, forward foot pegs, backrest for passengers, backpack on backrest, cup holder, turn signal buzzer, advanced timing and K&N added 2-3 mpg, primer switch added to get gas to carbs sooner, raised handlebars 1.5 inch.

Serviced regularly.

Faults:

Fork seals failed every 3 years. Fork springs were too soft from day one. I installed progressive springs.

Front fender paint faded inside of 3 years. The paint elsewhere on the bike is still beautiful (Candy President Maroon). The metalized plastic gauge housings began to crack at the 10-year point. Repainted fender and housings.

General Comments:

Rock-solid, durable and dependable. Starts every spring after 3 months of just sitting in the garage. No fuel or carb issues. Engine warms inside of 10 seconds, then choke-off and drive away.

Roll-on 55MPH to 80 MPH in under 3 seconds in 5th gear. From 65MPH, drop to 4th gear and crank throttle, front tire lifts off the ground. And this is a Sport Tourer?

Perhaps the most dependable superbike every made. No frills, just 1100cc punch and miles of smiles.

General Comments:

I used to own a 1992 GSX1100G. Had it for 1 or 3 years. I developed knee problems and the angle from my knee to the peg hurt my knee. Had to sell it. Did my own valve work on this bike.

Faults:

The fork seals went at 25,000 miles. No other issues with this bike.

General Comments:

After 14 bikes including a 900 Ninja, an 1100 Katana and a VX800, this bike bridged the gap. A very fast yet comfortable ride. It always starts, and is very reliable. Wish I had kept it!

Faults:

Only real problem was steering head bearings. Replaced them after I'd ridden less than 500 miles (bike had 37000 miles when I bought it).

General Comments:

Very smooth, almost vibration-free bike. Love the low maintenance, clean shaft drive.

Heavy bike at over 600 lbs wet, but no problems in traffic. Has a solid "planted" feel at highway speeds and on city streets.

Gobs of torque, even at low speeds... no need to rev the engine for the take off in first gear.
