Brand New 1986 Suzuki GSXR 1100

[@blairfright9622]

I had one of these new in 1986 , loved that bike. Wish I still had.

[@1991CALYPSO]

One of my all time favorite bikes. What a gorgeous example.

[@timnz1970]

looked for ages barry it was the nicest one i could find anywhere in the world found it in Europe was part of a private collection and imported to NZ paid way too much for it but what the hell I love having it in the garage! :)

[@lriper4702]

I would ride it every single day..

[@hawkez2003]

Would love one of these in this condition. A friend had one new back in the day. Loved it. Still think they are the best looking bike around.

[@Royalbigness]

Wow ! That is really something wonderful. Talk about a time warp ! Keep it safe and keep it clean. Magnificent !

[@verdeboyo]

I had one of these. Bought it from an airline pilot, only 4 months old. Boy was it quick, and so damned light to flick. Although very dated looks now but I still love it so much

[@fidelcatsro6948]

what do you ride now amigo?

[@uhtred7860]

Its looks are "of its time" the reason Suzuki styled them like this, was because the 1983 GS1000R/ XR41 factory race bike ( especially the later alloy framed model) that Suzuki had used to win the World Endurance Championship was styled very similar. The 85 GSX-R 750 and its big brother the 86 1100, were very faithfully to the styling of the racebike. Heres the factory race bike, you can see the similarity to the road bikes. www.motorcyclistonline.com/25-years-gsx-rs-race-bred/

This bike turns more heads on the street than a Ducati Panigale.

[@timnz1970]

It's does Sebastian I've got an 899 & love it but nowhere near as special as this old girl!! :)

[@CRM537]

much nicer then a ducati or any other racer out there.

[@joski9030]

My friend had a panigale and he turns more heads now in his transit van.

[@Terraceview]

You got something that's worth serious money these days. Awesome.

[@SmellyEllie2]

Superb, I had one back in the day and wish i still had it now,

[@lriper4702]

Buy one

[@ghola2010]

seriously. that is a bike to be well proud of. i have a 1100 wv and your bike outshines it in almost every department. what went wrong i ask myself, perhaps it was the transition to watercooled engines. but at least suzuki got back on track with the gsxr 1000.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

they had no choice but to go water cooling... it was impossible to get beyond 100hp reliably with air oil cooling methods!! I ride the Bandit air oil cooled engine and i know what its like to be underpowered!

[@bernardbigras1405]

Impeccable la bête

[@Hey_You_Me]

The first time riding a GSX-R, I pulled into a parking lot at the same time a guy that just bought the bike with 40 miles on it. I had my little brother with me driving my car at 15 without a license. I didn't ask but I was drooling and he said: " go ahead, not like your going leave your car and brother". long story short, I bet he never did that again.

[@waynegacyii9010]

A stock air box, have not seen one of those since 1986. This is truly a stock original survivor. The stock exhaust weighed a ton, almost 30 pounds on these, but made them so quiet you could do 140 mph and no one could hear you ripping down the road. All you could hear of them was the wind ripping across the fairings as they went by. I bet it's still got that sweet smell of break in oil lube from the factory, when you warm up the engine ?

[@mick998r]

Beautiful paint scheme and a total mint bike as well. Really nice!

[@toddclendenin5469]

This is the bike that saved Suzuki!

[@MJWVI]

Stunning example of the marque. Makes me smile. I'm in the process of restoring my '86 Blue/White G as I type this. Interesting you have Mitchy PR3 rubber on it. I can see where they supply 18" PR3's.

[@MartyMcFlyV]

WOW.I had one.Amazing.My tach did not start until 3 thousand RPM.

[@Hot80s]

Gem. I owned a 86 1100 in '98. I'm back with a '87-11 in '14

[@fidelcatsro6948]

haha

[@gunnarMyTube]

I hope you still keep it :) A waste if someone just consume it up. When I listen to its clean acceleration at 2:05 I realize my 750 needs a thorough checkup :). Thanks for sharing this.

[@loggi7605]

It looks perfect, I'm so jealous

[@jimmyjohn2468]

about 20 years ago now i had one looking for another loved it

[@johnborks7997]

Oh my God I had one years ago that was so clean it was just ridiculous highly modified but it was clean and I had a 7-Eleven and ahead another 750 citrol same here I had a little accident on my 750 and my girlfriend made me get rid of all of them then she dumped me about 2 months later

[@carreteras101]

Wow, super clean and original first gen 1100! Nice.

[@loris199]

this is awesome!!! stunning bike mate! keep her like that! cheers from Italy Loris

[@Comeforecars]

These bikes were so light even by today's super bikes standards 197kg

[@Levashanks]

What a beauty man nice! And I love the retro captain america paint scheme.

[@Phil-dg1yg]

awesome!

[@DaveMelven]

Hi there, what a lovely bike ! I own a 1986 H model with 6000 miles in red/black, it great. Good to see another nice one ! Regards, Dave

[@timnz1970]

Hi thanks for the interest. Wasnt planning to sell but I guess everything is at the right price. The steering damper is SUZUKI DAMPER ASSY, STEERING | MODEL G PART NO. 51750-46E00 it left the factory like this absolutely NO MODS, ALTERATIONS OR TOUCHUPS whatsover bike is 100% original spent its first 25 years in a temperature/humidity controlled private collection

[@brianbrady4496]

I owned one in 1995. Best bike I had. Front tire wouldn't stay down

[@bernardbigras1405]

Oh my god

[@richardpetrie318]

I have an identical model and have a dilemma which you could help me with. I purchased the bike from Switzerland which had strict emission laws back in the 80ls. So much so that they reduced the power on the 1100. I am working on recovering the full power of my bike and would ask if you can do me a favour. On your bike can you look down inside the end of the exhaust and tell me if you can see a restrictors plate as in the picture I have provided. My bike has a plate welded inside from the manufacturer.. I would really appreciate if you can confirm your bike does not have this modification..many thanks for your help..

[@Blackcat70_]

WOW! Freaking BEAUTIFUL man. Im in Texas.. we salute you.. YEEE HAWWW!!!!

[@dirkvandermerwe6027]

Bulletproof...

[@citrusbowl100]

You now have the BEST IN THE WORLD .

[@timeaxis1]

Hi Tim & Pam... this is exactly like my Dads 86 GSX-R 1100... my Dad let me drive it when i was 15 down the highway.. i accellerated it up to 120 mph... and it was super balanced and was like 120 was nothing and could do 200 easily.. it was soooooo much fun!! so i saw a gsxr 1100 on craigslist listed as a 1984 gsxr1100... so I called to see it and saw it.. it was instead a 1986 gsxr 1100 same color scheme as yours... i wasn't expecting to somehow end up with the first motorcycle i ever rode in my life... but as luck would have it I have this exact bike my vin serial number ends in 1001066 .. the 1066th made... and yours?

[@Etswe]

I bought this model new in 1986. I wanted this colour but the company went bankrupt, so i got the only bike they had left which was the blue version. I drove it all over Europe.

[@frasermanx]

I have a 750 that hasn;t been riden since 1991 .. completely original .. will sell someday

[@pierregautier9086]

C'est une légende. Extraordinaire !

[@Hot80s]

who would roll only 1500 with such a amazing machine. i could buy a much newer gsxr1100 but why? they dont look or feel the same. My friends in used to call my 86 1100 "Dinosaur" & Flexi-flyer back in 1998! I'm getting a 87 this weekend & cant wait.

[@จิตรินวงค์แก้ว]

[@uhtred7860]

Are you a Kiwi? i think ive seen you out on this bike :-) Also, did we get them in this colour? i thought this was a US only colour scheme.

[@timnz1970]

Yes in Auckland, there were two colour schemes for the 1100 in ‘86. I have also have ‘86 750 same colours red/blue with 1000km from new

[@andrezesna3920]

Where did you get this beatiful piece

[@timnz1970]

Bought it from the original owner in Switzerland, was in his private collection

[@sethjewell7879]

I would sell my soul. Truly amazing.

[@sethjewell7879]

Hi, superb bike - congratulations! I've bought an identical GSX R 1100 (GU 74 C - same color combination) this spring, also completely factory original with documented 5806 km. Question: Do you have rubber (end)caps fitted to the steeltubes on the inner part of the fairing ahead of the mirrors? Take care and a troublefree ride with this classic bike! JM

[@klesarhr-bz5of]

This bike is worth 20k

[@fidelcatsro6948]

he stored it in a vacuum chamber..

[@myreality7817]

1500 miles? How do you get the will power not to ride it? I just bought a 91 zx11 in excellent condition which I would like to preserve, but I have to ride every day so I'm putting 1000 miles a month on it. Can't help myself. My last bike was a 1990 gsxr750 which I bought new in 1990.

[@mad4tarmac]

im so jealous!!!!

[@Foxxtrott1100]

Where is this bike now? Any chance it's for sale? Had one exactly like it and almost as clean. Sold it back in 2000

[@timnz1970]

Still got it....still love it! Have the same year 750 too, same colours done 700km from new

[@uhtred7860]

Never seen one with the rev counter that starts at 0, most of them have the rev counter starting a 3 thousand revs, wonder what market its from???

[@timnz1970]

Bought it from the original owner in Switzerland, was in his private collection

[@uhtred7860]

@@timnz1970 Ahh ok, in the Suzuki parts fiche it shows the the Swiss model having a single rectangle headlight, due to Swiss regulations at the time not allowing duel headlights, Swiss market Honda RC30s have a similar set up. It looks odd to say the least and i bet more than a few Swiss owners bought the correct top fairing with the dual headlights. My own 86 GSX-R1100 is 99% back together after a full strip and refurbish, just trying to find an original exhaust for it, there used to be quite a few in wreakers around NZ 15 years or so back, but the with the wreakers advertising on the internet they all went overseas. Anyway awesome bike. cheers from Taranaki :-))

[@timnz1970]

@@uhtred7860 nice yeah this one was delivered new with the twin lights not sure what the story was but looked for years never seen a better ‘86 1100 anywhere tbh. Bought a spare NOS exhaust in Europe a few years back it’s in the attic somewhere…wasn’t cheap like +$2000 if I recall :(

Yes just looked at mine it has the rubber caps they seem to be pushed right inside the metal tube.
