$2,800 – 1993 Suzuki GSX1100G
There’s a reason the model name of this Suzuki was one letter off from the supersport GSX-R 1100 – this standard had the same engine, albeit modded for better comfort with the addition of a counterbalancer and elastic mounts and retuned for more low and mid range power with new camshafts.
