GSX-R 1100 WS

1995 Suzuki GSX-R 1100 WS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Suzuki's sport motorcycle lineup, the 1995 Suzuki GSX-R 1100 WS features a 1027 cc (62.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 153 HP (111.7 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 110.8 Nm (81.7 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 149 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the GSX-R 1100 WS measures 221 kg (487 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.69 HP/kg (1.44 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
