Wuss-up Jay, I only have a stock 1991 1100GSXR and have found them to be very reliable. Apart from reliability they hall ass stock, let alone if you're lucky enough modify your bike with a turbo (I hope to do so in the near future). Saudi Arabia sounds like it should have some long highways to take advantage of an 1100's power. I feel it is also good for city and congested traffic use also because it is comfortable and easy to maneuver (this from a guy that is only 5' 7", 120lbs and drives on the freeways and streets of L.A. California during rush hour). Since you're looking into purchasing a '98, I would highly recommend that you hold off until Suzuki begins to sell its 1300cc Hayabusa, or is it spelled Hayabasa (you get the idea). This upcoming bike sounds like it has a crap loud of power out the door and a turbo would be "icing" on the cake. I don't know much about the Kawasaki Ninja 1000(I think Kawasaki only makes a 1000 twin cc), but the Kawasaki Ninja 1100 sounds faster and easier to work with. My opinion is biased, but I would go with Suzuki. Good Luck! Gabe -----Original Message----- From: Jael P.

However I am now in a position to acquire one and would like to get some input for me to be able to select a good buy and bike. Currently I am looking at the 98 Susuki GSXR-1100 or the Kawasaki Ninja 1000cc (?). I hope that although this is a non turbo issue listmember would provide me some of their expert opinions. Although I intend to use this on the streets I am also interested in later modifications. There is no race track here in Saudi Arabia for bikes. Thanks, Jay
