    Is there such thing as an GSX1100EFE

    Seen this supposed GSX1100EFE but looks like an 1150 to me did they make an overseas model like this? Just wondering if any of you overseas members or any one else might straighten this out. I'm confused

            1135 cc's, I believe.

            2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                    It also doesn't have a full fairing which as far as I know is what the EF stands for ? I thought the half fairing model would be ES and the last E was the model ?

                      Yes I noticed the GSX100 also. (typo I'm assured) The web site for the magazine is www.classicmechanics.com But will need a subscription to read any of the articles. I have found out as they have a written mag also delivered to your door for all you vintage guys out there. All in all a pretty decent rag. Thinking about subscribing myself. One of my other mechanics brings it in monthly and shares all the vintage Suzuki articles with us. Last month they dissected the gs1000 Yoshi ,Wes Cooley ride.

                        Just a tip-don't send off to the UK for a subscription, go to www.classicbikebooks.com, in Wisconsin, to save about 30% off the direct UK subscription price. Nice folks there, as well.

                          Try suzukicycles.org, there were some countries that got a GSX1100 EFE in 84 which was 1100cc and had the 1135cc version released in 85. I had and 85 EFE which was full faired.

                            Same bike world wide, 1984-1986. In North America it was called a GS1150 (E, EF, EFE). In Europe and the rest of the world it was known as the GSX1100 (E,EF,EFE). Faired, or un-faired, same engine at 1135cc.
