Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, torquey air-cooled four-cylinder machine.
PurposeIt's an 1980s allround sport-tourer, built to blend strong straight-line performance with reasonable comfort for longer rides.
Rider FitAt 256 kg it demands a confident, moderately strong rider, especially at low speed or when maneuvering off the bike's centerstand.
CharacterThe GSX 1100 EF has a muscular, old-school character with a strong midrange punch and a mechanical, air-cooled engine feel.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for off-road use, novice riders, or anyone seeking a lightweight, nimble city commuter.
