Suzuki GS1150 Motorcycle - Street (1984-1986)

The Suzuki GS1150, produced from 1984 to 1986, represented the pinnacle of Suzuki's air-cooled, inline-four motorcycle technology at the time. Known for its powerful engine and strong performance, it featured a 1,135cc air/oil-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve per cylinder engine. Horsepower ranged from 114 to 124 hp, with torque around 104 Nm. The engine also boasted a 9.7:1 compression ratio and Suzuki's Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) design for improved efficiency. The GS1150 itself was an evolution of the earlier GS1100, featuring increased displacement, larger carburetors, bigger intake valves, new camshafts, and a slightly raised compression ratio, resulting in approximately 10 additional horsepower. However, within its 1984-1986 production run, there were no major mid-cycle generation or significant engine changes reported. Minor refinements occurred, such as the 1985 GS1150E's upgrades, but these were not generational shifts. Trims included the standard GS1150E (unfaired or with an optional half-fairing) and the GS1150ES (typically with a half-fairing), with GSX 1100ED/EF designations used in some markets. FAQ:
