It's a "cafed" KZ650, I believe.

spotted 2

My wife has spotted 1 several times near me. She claims it is just like mine, but sporting hard luggage.

I've also spotted a near mint 750 that also has hard luggage. That one belongs to one of the salesman at the local cycle dealer. They told me he goes by the name "Duck". Not sure what that's all about, but the bike is a real beauty.

I was at "The Shop"* today, dropping off a header to have it ceramic coated.

Did not get a picture, but saw an '80 850L in the lot and asked if it was a customer's bike or for sale. I was told it was a customer's bike.

As I was getting ready to leave, I went over to get another look at it, and had to go back inside to talk to the guy at the counter. I showed him that the petcock was in the PRIme position, which could lead to some problems.

Strange thing, though, it had all the appearances of being an '80 850L, but did not have the "dreaded" petcock.
I wonder if it was late enough in the '80 run to have an '81 tank?

I left a card with him to pass on to the owner, we might have yet another GSer in the Dayton area.


* Yes, the name of the shop is "The Shop".

Well many of us have heard of the Suzuki GS "sighting" in the music video for Electric Avenue. Also we know that George Burns rode a white GS 1100E (I think ) in the movie Oh God, Book Two.

Here is a new one I just found.
1988 movie called Stand and Deliver...starring Edward James Olmos, Andy Garcia and Lou.Diamond Phillips....Its about a class of Latino students in a crappy East Los Angeles high school who defy all odds and pass a complicated AP Calculus placement test with the inspiring guidance of their teacher (Olmos) Play cheesy inspirational 80's music......NOW! Haha
The pictures are from a scene where the teacher was walking out of the school.
550 Katana.


Enjoy!

There is just something ya gotta love about a grill that can go 100+mph!

I'd be willing to bet it can't reach 100.

Yasser Rat bike...

Those pictures of the Rat bike were a must see for everyone here! Does it run ? Very funny!

. Gotta appreciate the effort that's for sure.

No. No, you don't.

Picking on a G is like rolling a retired man in a wheelchair..

[azr]

Wow I've never seen anything like that before. Gotta appreciate the effort that's for sure.

I didn't take a picture to appreciate the skill it took to bend the thick lexan windshield, but apparently it is a challenge to bend and work with clean.

I am digging that grille.
Would not want it all the time but it would come in handy now and then.
The more I think about it the more often I think I would use it.
Not so keen on the propane tank though, Would remove while riding.
Yeah I think my KnG rack may get a upgrade.

Oh G

I get to work with a lot of industrious persons. Last fall I worked with a guy that ratted out a G. As follows:

Truck directional



Tractor seat / battery. Oily shop towel filters.



Clock, 12 ga chock knob, can older and money for a toll bridge to work everyday.


The tractor seat and hose grip.


Yes you are seeing it right. Also the air horn compressor is in the bag.


Simple recoil to amuse and the bottom of the air horn tank (fire extinguisher)


Flashlight running light in 12v. Kickstand plate. Air horn tank and valve.


Operating winch and shovel to bury it, if it would come out of the ditch.



Grill level and license plate light.
