A monster in more ways than one!
The famous GSXR 1100. Very rare in the Philippines but what a great machine. A motor that was so strong that huge power was able to be attained without turbo or supercharging. Standing 1/4 mile time in the low 10 second bracket and a top speed of between 165-175 was and is dam fast. A truly great bike.
The ones I have listed are the main model changes during its lifetime

The 1990 year's GSX-R1100 was upgdraded in the suspension, tires and the swing arm. The inverted Showa front forks together with the new 130/60ZR17 Michelin front tire gave the bike better stability in the front fork and better handling. Even the rear shocker was new, and the rear tire wider (180/55 ZR 17). The swing arm was made longer, giving the bike 35 mm (1.4 in) longer wheelbase and better high-speed stability.

I'd love a slabbie 1100 but too small and rare these days, not many left I guess cos they all got used for what they were designed to do
