GS1100E, Performance King of 1980, even faster than a Honda CBX.  Except for a performance exhaust header and a brand new premium reproduction seat cover from the well known seat manufacturer Sargents, this bike seems to be a stock GS1100E.  GS1100’s was the best you could buy in 1980.  They were known to be very fast, smooth, and comfortable to ride long distances. The gas tank is excellent, its stock paint is unfaded, and it has no deep scratches or dents.  Pin striping is very good everywhere. The fenders are straight and unbent, handlebars straight.  Headlight, tail light, turn signals and brake lights all work. All wiring appears to be stock. It has the nicks and scratches on the underframe that you would expect for a motorcycle in a northern climate.The speedo,  tachometer, warning lights and fuel gauge work, as well as its illumination, see the pictures.    Its throttle,clutch action and gear shifting works as they should.  It had a new Yuasa high performance battery last fall.  The battery is also pre-wired for a quick connect for a battery tender. Attached are videos of me starting and riding it last fall.  It runs strong.  It was too fast for me to really take it out and open it up fully, but you can hear it running strong.  I have had it running this spring.What does it need? The bike is 27 years old and if you want it for a daily rider, you should put some work into it. Tires have decent tread and hold air well, but I wouldn’t take a long trip on them. A performance bike like this should have new tires. The front fender being plastic has some alligatoring and loss of paint as shown in the pictures. Both front and rear brakes work and bring it to a stop smoothly, but the lines should probably be bled out and fluid replaced. I have two videos for you to see, one in April last year, a second one in September. You will note that in the second video it is running much smoother, as I put a new K&N Filter on it. It has a performance exhaust which could break your eardrums if you aren’t careful. However I do have an Original GS1100E exhaust system that I bought on Ebay for $300 that will go with the sale.
