1980 or 1982 GS1100E--Which Would You Choose?

[rphillips]

Almost forever I'd thought Suzuki should have put the Champagne paint on the "83", with all that black stuff, eng., exhaust, handlebars, starter cover, shocks, mirrors, thought the contrast would be good. No, I finally saw one, and not near as nice looking as I'd thought it would be. Now thinking probably the "82" Maroon or the "83" Fire Eng. Red would look better with all that Black stuff from "83".... Do realize, just another opinion. There's probably somebody out there that has the opinion that hideous dank dark Blue with all that black looks good,.. Heck, on mine I can't tell where the body stops and the eng., exhaust, and all that other black stuff start, just looks like one big blob of darkness.
