    August BOTM

    Very nice! And to think that you have owned it since it was new is amazing! Looks like GS1000's are dominating the BOTM lately! (I'm OK with that!)

      I don't know Bob, but those painted to match side covers really make that bike look more refined than the oem satin black ones. Very nice suttel & tasteful upgrade. 43 yrs. & 50 K & looks like that??? Amazing.

        Agree with the side cover paint, that is a well deserved BOTM.

          A Note From The Owner...

          I'm the original owner and bought the bike in Westwood, N.J. in 1978. Has over 50,000 miles- no problems or major work required! Still love to ride it and it runs like new.

              Bob may I join in ? That is quite a nice example of a GS1000 and kudos for your efforts to keep her on the road !

                Quite nice BOTM! That bike was purchased by the right caretaker in 1978.
