I bought my GS1100G for $1200CAD with 61000kms on it in May. Put 7500kms on it so far and this thing is a power beast. Absolutely love it. Was a Honda owner most of my life but this thing takes a beating like no other and comes back for more! As heavy as it is (almost 600lbs) it's still nimble and responsive.... read more
I bought my GS1100G for $1200CAD with 61000kms on it in May. Put 7500kms on it so far and this thing is a power beast. Absolutely love it. Was a Honda owner most of my life but this thing takes a beating like no other and comes back for more! As heavy as it is (almost 600lbs) it's still nimble and responsive. If anything goes wrong it, it still rides and will get you home and start the next day. Can't say that for many other bikes! Does have charging issues, getting a new stator.Tons of torque and power (I'm now a shaft drive convert). I do ride like a hooligan and it can take it (traffic dodging, cruising at 140kmh, and trails{I put dual sport tires on it, Heideneau K60 Scout}). Probably my favourite bike I've ever owned. Looking forward to putting another 60K Kms on it! Mad respect for this bike, doesn't disappoint.

I've had my GS1100EZ for 4 years now. Not much has gone wrong with it. This season, near the end, one of the fork seals started leaking, will deal with that this winter. Electronics aren't that great, dash lights (brake and charge) stay on for no reason, but everything else is working well. The bike handles ... read more
I've had my GS1100EZ for 4 years now. Not much has gone wrong with it. This season, near the end, one of the fork seals started leaking, will deal with that this winter. Electronics aren't that great, dash lights (brake and charge) stay on for no reason, but everything else is working well. The bike handles well and has tons of power. It doesn't like to get stuck in traffic much, being air and oil cooled, and will heat up on hot days if you don't keep it moving. Otherwise, I've just done basic maintenace, chain and sprockets, tires, a leaky valve cover gasket, speedo drive gear had to be replaced, battery, tires (lots of tires), and changed the fluids when needed. I've been really happy with it. I've dusted off a lot of new bikes with it, even riding two up which is about half of it's duties.

I love mine. It was a B-Day gift from my wife, and I think she was on the money. A good value. Quick, handles well, and good fat look to it. I dont like that its a cold blooded beast in the mornings and reves too high at an idle, but I think a carb cleaning will fix. Great bike, buy one if you find one.... read more

Mine is an '83 - a GS1100ED. Mileage in low '40's. Great, eager motor. Comfortable & quick, even two up with luggage. Like it better than my '92 FJ1200 Yamaha. I'll let go of mine when they pry my cold, dead fingers...etc, etc.... read more

The GS1100E is a great bike!! The handling is good and the speed is great! My only complaint is gas mileage - this bike is thirsty. If you find this bike in good condition, BUY IT - you won't regret it. Its very RELIABLE.... read more

Have my 1100 EZ for three yrs. and have had no problems. Love the power, brakes, and handeling but not the gas miledge or 85MPH speedo. The 2000 era with its new standards have a long way to go. There may be only one new standard out there and it's the Kawi 1100. Would like to see a new comparison to my 11... read more

There may be only one new standard out there and it's the Kawi 1100. Would like to see a new comparison to my 1100 which is 18yrs. old. When you compare price look for good GS and save a lot of Bucks.
