smashweights Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Do like! Classic style has always appealed to me but too many are under powered. What's the output on that 1100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the output on that 1100?Site doesn't say, figure it has to be better than the '78 SS 750 I take out once in a while...80 on it seems like an accomplishment.Waiting on email inquiry.

motociclista Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 What's the output on that 1100?Around 87 or 88 hp if you can believe the first reports.So Greg, once you figure out the argument that convinces your wife that everyone needs 12 motorcycles (because 11 just isn't enough), you're required to post it here for all of us to read, if only for purposes of historical documentation.

turnone Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 1140 cc. If that was a Suzuki, they would call it a 1200.Air cooled, not very common anymore. I suspect that thing will be close to 100 HP at the crank, 85-90 at the wheel.Biggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motociclista Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 This brings back the 1970s styling trend that mystifies me more than any other: chrome fenders. I'm not into chrome myself, but I can sorta understand chrome wheels, maybe some chrome trim to highlight a bike's lines. But who was the styling genius who decided that the thing you should look at most on a bike was the fenders, and therefore decided to chrome them?

Uhmmm, it has become ....wife in car as I am taking her out to dinner...."I get new dishes and glassware." After dinner out and then ride home, added in, .."and the house needs new carpet"...All this as ... yep, another one stuffed in the garage. Ha!

2fat2fly Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Do like! Classic style has always appealed to me but too many are under powered. What's the output on that 1100? It looks like a 2 valve head so I wouldn't expect stock horsepower to be above 85-90 horsepower. At best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashweights Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 It looks like a 2 valve head so I wouldn't expect stock horsepower to be above 85-90 horsepower. At best.But that's still comparable to bikes like the Monster 796 and 1100EVO, though the I4 probably is a little weaker at the low end. Still should be buckets of fun.On a side note, my first car had roughly that many ponies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
