[dundee]

Gday , i have just tried to insure my 1980  GSX1100 et/ex but they have no listing for this bike, and when i give themthe reg it comes up as a katana ? 

anyone else had troubles , do i insure it as a katana, is that what they were called here in the UK ?

i always insure on agreed value basis and email them 4 pictures , adrian flux , footman james or carole nash

Styling wise it is a totally different model.

The ET / EX and Katana would have been standing next to each other in the showroom. (they are from the same era.)

Also weird that they can't find it.

- Maybe they just recognize the family name GSX1100?

- Maybe you have a frame from a katana, now rebuild as ET / EX?

I have my ET insured with CIA , they class it under Suzuki gsx 1100 e.

i have tried all the compare web sites and no listing of the gsx1100 , and i have called a couple of companies and no listing, one bloke said they dont list it because they dont insure it ? i have now got insurance as they listed the gsx manually , but have have seen since coral nash have a gsx1100e 1980 to 1985 listing.  why the hell katana comes when the reg is put in  is a mystery , the bike came in from the usa with only 1400 miles on the clock so i hope its not a katana rebuild, doesnt look like it is as it just looks to new, but thanks for the comments 

cheers

Mine comes up as GSX1100E. They can call it anything they want as long as they cover it

If its an import from Uncle Sam, that'll explain it - they call everything Katana - aircooled, oil cooled and water cooled! They also didn't have the GSX as a range - early ones were GS1100's and later ones (our EF / EFE) were GS1150's to add to the confusion!

yes it is an uncle sam special , so that explains the katana thing , thanks

Not wanting to drag this thread out but i saw this ad too Kitkatman.^^^^^^..i noticed it is set up by Carole Nash and once i'd filled all the details in it came back more expensive than i had from elsewhere.Shame really.It seemed promising at first.
