Suzuki GSX-R 1100 first appeared in 1986 based on the [[Suzuki_GSX-R750 | Suzuki GSX-R 750]] model, but with a more powerful engine. The Suzuki GSX-R 1100 was inspired by Suzuki's desire to bring a powerful yet responsive and lightweight sports bike to the market. And at some point they really succeeded - the motorcycle received many positive reviews from experts who noted the power, relatively light weight and decent handling. However, over time, and in particular with the release of the Honda Fireblade, many realized that the handling of the Suzuki GSX-R 1100 was not the benchmark and there could be bikes with better handling and lower weight for comparable power. By the way, Suzuki understood this and constantly made changes to the frame and chassis of each new modification of the Suzuki GSX-R 1100, trying to find a compromise. So, the early versions of the Suzuki GSX-R 1100 are distinguished by a lighter weight, but a less rigid frame, which makes itself felt under high loads; later versions had a more rigid frame and sharp control, but suffered from excessive weight. By the way, this is the reason for the different estimates of the reviews of experts testing different versions of the motorcycle over the years.

In 1989, the Suzuki GSX-R1100 received a major overhaul. In particular, the steel frame was replaced with an aluminum one. The engine increased its volume from 1052 to 1127 cc and received new Mikuni BST36SS carburetors. Also, models from this year are distinguished by black calipers.
