Selling my dad’s 1982 Suzuki GS1100E. He purchased it in 2002 from a co-worker who lived down the street, rode it fairly regularly and maintained it well until he started having some mobility issues and parked it around 2018. Last summer I towed it back to my house to dial it back in and sell, with the goal of funding some home upgrades for my parents. It’s from the same year I was born, and it’s the bike I learned how to ride on, so it’s something I have a lot of good feelings about. It’s not a concours or museum piece, and it hasn’t been restored, it’s just real nice. I don’t have room in the garage or the time to spend riding, so I just really want to get it to someone who will appreciate it.

* Cosmetically, it’s in what I’d consider really good shape for an unrestored 40+ year old bike. A few scuffs here and there, and one very minor dent on the tank, but no rust and very solid overall. The bike’s complete and 100% stock. It looks *nice.*

* Just got back from Milwaukee Powersports for a tune-up, safety / mechanical inspection, and new tires. Brand new Dunlop D404 tires. Starts up immediately and comes off choke quickly, no messing around needed. Now that it has new tires it rides EXCELLENTLY. Pulls smoothly, shifts well, handles well, stops well.

* Carbs were cleaned and gone over by Milwaukee Powersports off the bike this September.

* New air filter, fuel filter, AGM battery, and oil / filter change performed by me this October.

* Comes with a bucket of parts including a VERY choice non-US instrument cluster that goes up to 140mph!

* Full maintenance records back to 1999.

* Clean WI title.

The only issues with the bike are minor:


* Clutch was kind of loud with the bike in neutral, but that has subsided greatly since getting the bike back and putting some miles on it. I think it just needed some run after sitting for so long.

* Brake light doesn't work. My guess is that something wasn’t plugged back in when the bike was buttoned back up. (All the other lights and indicators work.)

* Rear brake caliper was seized when I brought it in to the shop, but they got it loosened up and it’s working fine now.
