Launched in late 1985 as a bigger version of the ground-breaking GSX-R750F, the GSX-R1100 incorporated all the features that had made the smaller roadbike such a big success. If the 750 was going to be a hit by harnessing 100hp into a 175kg package, then more could only be better.
The GSX-R1100 concept was one of brutal hot-rod with power to spare. Designed by the time the 750F had been launched, the concept worked. Out of the crate, box-stock G models could cover the quarter mile in 10.75 seconds at over 130mph(210kph). Top speed was over 160mph(260kmh).
Key to the 1100's potency was technology established with the 750F - class-leading power combined with light weight. The 1100 excelled with only 1.54kg/bhp to propel. In fact, the 1100 was less highly tuned than the 750 (reduced compression ratio from 10.6 to 10:1 and revised cam profile) but had massive reserves of torque
