Damn hard to find now.

They made 1100Gs from 80-83 (?), they are a torque monster. ...

Actually, they made the 1000G in '80/'81 and the 1100G in '82/'83. There might have been a few left over and sold as '84s.

They made a 1984 GS1100GK. It wasn't a leftover 1983 model.

In the late 1990's early 2000's I had three early 80's Suzuki bikes. A1980 gn400, a mid 80's gs850l, and my favourite a 1984 gs1100gl. The gn had a mass of electrical problems with the weird 6v system but was a great starter bike. I never would have sold the 1100 but had my back broken in a non motorcycle incident and couldn't give it the use it deserved. Now that I can ride again I was looking for another and can't find squat. Back then the local used shops had plenty, but now there is nothing. Worst of all is the guy in my building with a parking stall next to mine holding a mint looking gs750l that I have to walk past every day. Did everyone suddenly realize how great the bikes are or did they just fade away?

Make the trek out to Vintage in the Valley next weekend, there will be plenty of bikes for sale, but mostly to meet guys who are into these bikes.

When I was first looking for a GS1000S I spent forever watching CL but nothing, finally found one in Quebec and bought it, paid way too much.

Once I joined this forum it was easy to find bikes and I have purchased in the US and brought them back here.

I will be at Vintage in the Valley next weekend with one of my GS1000S's at the BC Classic MC Club Area.

Are you looking for an 1100GL specifically, or anything GS? You just missed out on a skookum deal of an 1150es, and about a month ago I was perusing CL and there were easily a dozen GSes up for sale, including Bellingham and the Olympic Peninsula.

Really any of the 1100 or 1150's, even a 1000 of the price and condition are good. Prefer a l or gl for the stepped seat and raised bars but I can add that to a different model. I'm actually going to test ride a bandit 1250s this weekend with raised bars and lowered seat. We'll see how it feels.

I wanted to go out for the classic show but got trapped in work both days so won't have the time to drive out.

Oregon Jake has just posted an 1150 for sale. Check it out.
