85 Suzuki GS1150E, last of the big bore Era- then came the GSXR. This motorcycle is ready to roll and properly owned and maintained for the last 18 yrs by a certified ASE service tech. It's time for someone else to twist the throttle. Many upgrades over the years including a stainless Super Trapp exhaust, K&N air filter, braced and looped swingarm, 530 chain & sprocket conversion, Sargent seat, Works performance shock, new tires and much more. GS series bikes are know for being tough & reliable, this 1150 is properly tuned & jetted and runs awesome. Looks great for a 31 yr old cycle. Currently has 45,000 miles ( bought in 98 w/ 6,000) - many of them on long distance trips. Would jump on this tomorrow and take off again on another adventure. Clear title, current inspection and turns heads on every ride. Would consider a partial trade for a DR650, KLR650 or XR600,650

Akron Suzuki Works is offering this well-sorted out '85 GS 1150 on behalf of a client. This bike was listed earlier with a reserve of $3500 which was based on the fact that it took pretty close to that to get this one into every-day-reliable condition. Try taking a bike into a shop this time of year that needs a list of electrical and mechanical issues sorted and see what kind of turn-around time you'll get. I switched the pricing format to buy-it-now/best offer so take your best shot and start riding. The owner has several other bikes and would like to make a deal. We have maintained this bike for the past 2 owners and it is ready to ride. We believe the 26k miles on the clock to be accurate based on our assessment of typical wear points and overall performance. No oil leaks or unusual noises, this classic example starts right up, shifts smoothly, pulls very strong and stops nicely. The inside of the tank is spotless--looks like stainless steel, so we found no fine rust particles in the Since we work on almost nothing but GS's around here we are sensitive to "GS noises"--clutch basket rattles, crank whirrs, etc. This bike has none. The clutch service mentioned below included re-torquing the clutch flange nut--a common but seldom tended to issue on 80's GS's. We performed the following service items on the bike: -replaced chain with new O-ring chain; final drive is correctly adjusted and running smoothly -rebuilt carbs, adjusted jetting, drilled choke pick ups for easier cold starts, synched carbs on bike -replaced battery and charging system connectors (now charges spot-on for volts and amps) -oil and filter change, pan gasket removed and replaced to address a leak -brake fluid purge/bleed -clutch overhaul--bead blast steel plates, clean, inspect fibre plates, replace springs: no slippage, smooth pull at lever -replaced starter -front turn signals were replaced with OE units as the 'accordian' mounting plastic wears out from flexing over time This 1150 has some nice touches like the bar end mirrors which give the best visibility in the GS world. The Yosh exhaust sounds authoritative without destroying ear molecules of you or your grateful neighbors. The dash display is crisp and uses anti glare lens material. Everything on the dash panel works correctly, as do both front and rear brake light switches, turn signals, and the upgraded horns are much louder than period units. I ride dozens of GS bikes every year. Comparing the 1150 to the GS1100 E's we work on every day around here, the engines are similar with the 1150 having a slight power edge. The 1150's brakes are a bit stronger and more responsive and the 1150 mono shock rear suspension was the first go at it for Suzuki on a large-displacement street bike. I'd give a slight edge in handling to the E but give the nod to the 1150 for boulevard blasting. This 1150 should make it through the riding season with normal maintenance and tires. The tires on the bike would be ok to run out for a couple thousand highway miles but if you plan some canyon carving right away, you'll want to order up some new rubber. The only kluge on the bike is the cable to release the seat was removed from the lock block so takes a manual pull to release the seat. The lock mechanism works but the key went missing.

It's a pleasure to present this stunning '82 1100 GZ prepared for you by Akron Suzuki Works. For our clients and followers, you know what we do--we make GS' feel young again (and maybe you too)!. I believe we are the only shop in the world with as tight a focus on Suzuki GS bikes, especially the 1100/1150 models from 1980-1985. Yes, its a time warp and of course it's a 'niche'--if we did Harleys or Kawasaki's we'd have, you know, competition. Akron Suzuki Works Level-One 1. It has documented miles and ownership history 2. Every mechanical and electrical function works at least as well as when new--but better is acceptable (improvements discussed below) 3. The original appearance has been retained as much as practical 4. Suzuki factory service bulletins issued over the years have been incorporated 5. Deviations from the OE configuration for the year/make/model are noted 6. Original parts which have been replaced or upgraded for performance or safety reasons will be included with the machine if available.Many of our bikes go to clients who have requested specific models. One I've been trying to fill for a while is for "a perfect (client's description) black/grey GS1100GZ". This auction bike would have done it for the client--except the color scheme was wrong and we hate to refinish salvageable OE paint. We do have some current, recent and upcoming listings including a GS1150, an '83 GS1100E, and an '82 GS550 Katana. The Katana will be a Level-One bike but the others won't make the cut and will be priced accordingly. The auction bike is priced at $8500. If you don't think any '82 G could possibly be worth $8500, please stop reading and don't bother sending me that email telling me about the 'same bike your buddy got off Craigslist for $500'. Show your buddy our Level-One list here, though, just to make sure they really are the same. If you're still reading have a look at our Level-One shop prep check list:FORKS, BARS.

(the US DOT required all speedo's for '82 vehicles be 85 mph max in '82). Let the good times roll. jmw
