I have another back-to-back classic, big-bore motorcycle comparison for you! Today, it's Suzuki's 1982 GS1100G Vs. Yamaha's 1980 XS1100 Special. Both of these bikes are fast and fun, with similar specs on paper. Both were designed with touring intentions. But riding them back-to-back reveals the true nature of these two classic big-bore motorcycles!

I’m 30 I have a beautiful Xs special. I fell in love with the thing. But there’s something soecial about that Suzuki sound

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Makes me smile every time!

@k.i.i.3699 Год назад

The reason why it sounds like that is because of the four into one exhaust. If Yamaha had the same exhaust set up, the Yamaha would sound similar.

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

@k.i.i.3699 Maybe. It would sound good, but probably different. My Kawasaki's sound different than my Suzukis with the same exhaust mounted.

@k.i.i.3699 Год назад

Probably. Either way I’d rather leave these classic machines 100% stock. Sometimes it feels like a crime to break them apart and customize them. I think they are absolutely gorgeous machines fully stock.

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

@k.i.i.3699 I leave some stock, but I can't help making them function better, ride safer, handle better, etc.

I have lent towards Suzuki in the past, I would happily own either. Great review.

Thank you! They are both great machines!

I love both of them, and would find it hard to pick one, however i love the colour scheme of the Midnight Special

The Midnight Special does look great!

Many thanks Jon for another highly enjoyable video! Big Suzuki fan here, I got a 1100 G earlier this year and am looking forward to starting working on it once the riding season here in England heads into winter. I managed to get the same small fairing that you have on yours and will soon get it painted to match my bike. Ride safe.

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

You're welcome! Let me know how the G turns out!

@henryhawk978 Год назад

Enjoyed the comparison. I like the Suzuki as I've mentioned before. It has the looks that I like. But I also like standard XS1100. RIDE SAFE OUT THERE Jon!

@C_Dana Год назад

Another great review! Handlebar cables and wiring looked a bit untidy on the Yamaha but what a beautiful bike.

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Thanks! I'll see if I can tidy them up a bit.

I agree, I have that exact Suzuki and love it.

Do you guys have the XS11OO Sport? Like the midnight special, but flatter bars and a bikini fairing. I put a Guiliari 2:4 seat and a Z650 tailpiece on mine, it was beautiful.

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 4 месяца назад

We didn't get the sport but it was a beautiful bike! Cheers

@straightchad8059 Год назад

The Suzuki's pillion seat looks longer than the Yamaha's , is it more comfortable for the passenget ?

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

That's a great question. My wife likes the Suzuki for its top box with a pillion pad. I haven't taken any passengers on the Yamaha yet.

Muy buen video Jon. Te pregunto ? La Suzuki es modelo 82? A partir del 80 ya tenian la culata de 16 valvulas .? ( 4 por cilindro)Este modelo tiene 2 por cilindro (osea 8) como el GS 1000?.saludos cordiales.

@eduardofktrmp9463 Год назад

Nadie a contestado, pero entiendo que este modelo es de sólo ocho. Rafa en Oregón.

@ricardoberterame5950 Год назад

@@eduardofktrmp9463gracias Eduardo. Estoy casi seguro que es 8 valvulas ya que las 16 son diferentes los embellecedores (redondos para el 8V Retangulares para el 16V)

@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 Год назад

Suzuki produjo motos de 1100 cc con 16 válvulas (E, ES) y motos de 1100 cc con 8 válvulas (G, GK, GL). Las motocicletas de 16 válvulas tienen tapas de tapa de válvulas rectangulares. Las motocicletas de 8 válvulas tienen tapas de extremo de tapa de válvula redondas. ¡Salud!
