Anybody ever owned a GSX1100G? I'm tempted by one that is for sale nearby and need to be talked out of buying it! :P

Is that the mid-'80's Katana 1100?

The Katana would be the F designation. The G is a naked shaft-drive standard, liken to the VX800, except the GSXR1100 air/oil-cooled motor.

The F is an animal then.  Don't know about the G.   Sorry for seeming like I have a clue for a second there.

Thanks for all the feedback, I had found all those sources. Here is the listing if anyone wants to see it (1993 GSX1100G) http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/67029117.html

I'm looking to do some touring and that swell corbin seat might convince the old lady to ride with me more often.


I wish every bike had a community like GSTwin. :cheers:

Woohoo! Low miles and a sissy bar (backrest)! The faded part still looks like it has the clearcoat intact! Nothing like a shaftie to teach you to stay on the throttle through a turn.
