Why the difference in only 100cc's once you get to this size bike? I would have thought that there wouldn't be much difference between them? I get making a 750 and a Thou - 250 is a big difference. Sure I can see that different manufacturers have their own take on things - Ducati's 999 and Honda's 800 (in the 750's case). But Suzuki making a GSXR1000 and a GSXR1100? I just don't understand the difference. Please enlighten me without getting too technical.

The GSXR1000 replaced the GSXR1100.
Cos it was lighter, better, and faster, while only giving up a smidgeon of torque.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Ok, if a model has been replaced. Is that the same with the VFR series ie the 750 & 800's?

The instructions are simple...
GSXR1100 in it's various forms ran from around 1980 through to 1997 (I think). Advances in engine design allowed as much or more power from a smaller engine, hence the birth of the living legend....
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Must have been '99, there's one on Tardme (got a engine prob though)

The GSXR1000 represented a different design philosophy to the 1100 in that it went to the lighter, smaller, and stiffer modus operandi of a race bike for the road, instead of the road biased design of the 1100.

My 1100 is 1052ml so I got the best of both!!!

Que?
Over the years the R&D departments of the major manufacturers have made advances in metal technology and design in motorcycle engines. This has lead to a move away from heavy crankshaft torque monsters of the 80's to more efficient,smaller lighter,higher revving powerplants. Advances in R&D over the past 20 years have been in conjunction with an increased ability to produce volume at a reasonable cost.
I was talking to a bloke I know last weekend. He had just posted his GSXR1100 on tardme. Has a blown gearbox or sumthin, he's not nice to his bikes. I can't be bothered to go find it, post a link??
Easily ammused
I'd suggest you start at a 50 or maybe a 100cc bike.
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

mate a gsxr1100 would be perfect for a guy of your size...and the later model ones apparently handle priddy good!! [the ones with the braced swingarm]...
if its a good price.....be worth a look....also the first of the gsxr1000's would be a good buy for you too....the K1....onearmedbandit has one and loves it to pieces and WT borrows one regularly and never says a bad thing bout it...

That's what you started on FJ?? I'll be giving you the learn if I get a motor in that frame...
Poos - just more thinks on bike. It's an everyday thing - thinking about a bike! One day Roger Finch, one day....
This is the one I was talking about, MD

I think the 1100's were carburated motors weighed around 200kgs and 130hp[while the Gixxer 1000 is fuel injected and weighed 170kgs with 160 hp not a small difference. Its called modern technology.

Think also 1000cc limit for alot of road racing classes may have had something to do with it.

I get the impression you thought they were both made at once?
Fair weather rider
1000's 1100's, man, you must have a lot to carry around.
If i had the choice......... I'd have a 600.
750's go real fast in a straight line too (praise be to the lordly gsxr750) (280kmph nuf for me, time to give the bike back!!!)
1000's.... sure, as the last post said, damn near 1hp to 1kg (bike, not you included :P)
Only ridden a 1000 v-twin, it was silly, makes your rear tyres octagonal (power strokes taking rubber off, lol)
1100's? Whoooooweeeeeee, you buying a car or a bike?
Why not just buy a triumph rocket? lolPerhaps a kawasaki 2-litre v-twin? (i forget the name, shuddup i'm tired)
So for my 2 cents get a 1000 and don't poo your pants.
I will do that for you
rainbows and lollypops. xooxoxo
