The premier model had twin front discs with gold finished disc centers and single rear disc, all three with Gold finished calipers. It is packed with highly advanced design concepts including a Suzuki power Shield ( see picture) , a Suzuki advanced Cooling system with oil radiator , a new highly efficient combustion system ( TSCC) a fully transistorized ignition system and an improved full floater rear suspension GSX1100F was a high-performance sports tourer with full touring fairing with electrically powered height adjustable wind screen and wide dual seat with twin pillion grab rails. Its power plant came originally from the GSX-R1100, retuned to provide more low-end and mid-range power. The fine aerodynamics of the GSF1100F and the 136 HP / 112 Nm (11.4 kg-m)/ 7,000 rpm engine with 5-speed gearbox gave the bike very high top speed. GSX1100F was among the fastest bikes in the world at the time, if not the fastest. The Swedish Bike magazine measured 158 miles/hour top speed, the Yamaha FJ1200 with similar engine performance was much slower with ”only” 138 miles/hours. It was the aerodynamic fairing of the GSX1100F that made the huge difference. With a GSX-R power plant, there is no shortage of aftermarket enhancements. But there's some differences to be noted: The GSX1100F engine inhales through 36 mm carburetors rather than the round-slide 34mm ('86-'88), 36mm ('89-'90), or 40mm ('91-'97) mixers on the GSX-R. The sport-tourer had 4 into 2 exhaust system instead of the GSX-R's 4 into 1. The engine has a 2 mm bigger bore compared to the GSX100R, that gives this sport tourer a 75 cc larger cylinder volume or 1120 CC. As a result of the well-behaving engine and the heavier touring friendly chassis (30 mm/1.2 inches longer wheelbase) along with slightly taller overall gearing the GSX1100F doesn't feel like a factory racer. It feels more like a well-behaved street bike. Power flows in a steady rush from 3.000 RPM all the way to its 11.300 RPM redline which keeps shifting to a minimum.
