Edit: Please don't tell Tom that I called one of these beautiful or I may get kicked out of the L-hater club.

Oh, that two tone color schem is nice. And that bike is nice an shiney.

Yah, Ls look nice.
I recall being in a mo'cycle dealer showroom back in early 80s. They had a big mirror next to some of the cruiser bikes (K'saki Limited) so you could see how you looked on it. I thought instead of a mirror, they should have had something that pushed on your chest so could feel what it was like to have to hold yourself up against the wind.

Withe the blacked engine I would quess that to be an 83.

seen this guy tacoma wa.

I would say 650 by the tail piece.
G by the rear drive unit.
maybe 82 by the black color.
(82 GS650G black is what I had for 20+ years)

Picture from side would be better.
But, I found it is not a good idea to try and get up beside a bike going down highway to get a "sighting" photo. I was trying that one time, trying to catch up with car but then go same speed, and look sideways, and take picture. About caused a big problem, because I didnt realize the bike was slowing and moving over to get into exit lane. So decided not to try that again.
So I will be happy with your picture from the rear.

saw this in local paper



Looks like a GS to me.
83?

Tight curve of an on-ramp, seems to be polished concrete. Have slipped there myslef.

Rider is from next town, "treated and released".

You'll never know what you'll see on Lazy Sun. Drive!

Saw this on the side of the road on the way to pick up a new to me lawnmower...I stopped on the way back to chat w/ the owner...or turned out to be a rep of the owner...a pretty neat custom..I didn't get a picture of the other side but there is just as much chrome (more, as the shaft housings are chromed too..! The owner appeantly owns his own plating shop..and the rep turned out to be a custom builder!..It was a nice chat and I think it could be had for 2500.00

Thanks. I knew the E model had the cast wheels, dual front discs and the stepped seat. Trev's looks very nice as well, though.

It absolutely does, I sure loved mine, even if it was a bit of a pooch, power-wise.

The one in Schwartz's pic is a '78 GS750 EC, ('E's have the cast wheels), and the one in Trev's pic is a '78 GS750C (spoke wheels)

I had an identical model, son destroyed it permanently, couple years after I tried to do same, but a new frame and fork slider, etc, brought it back, used it relatively happily for a few more years.

Thanks for clearing that up...

[850 Combat]

I saw a pre 1982 1000G or 850G at the intersection of TV highway and the Wilson River highway on Saturday afternoon. It looked like a solid old bike.

Yup..it's an E..I have one in my back yard.

Very nice. That appears to be a 78 GS750E. I had a red one.

GS 750G (N? has kick start) spotted yesterday at 36th and Dyer Ave (right outside the Lincoln Tunnel) where I park my bike when I ride to work.


Then I passed by an 850G parked in the Lower East Side that night, just caught it out of the corner of my eye. Blue like mine, even has the blue side covers mine lost.

Either of these belong to anyone here? I haven't met anyone in the area with a GS yet except Tim

Howdy folks,
Saw this little guy parked in the Munical lot by the train station on my way to work this am and was wondering if it belonged to anyone here. Note the sweet tu250 parked next to it. Too bad there wasn`t enough room for me to sqeeze Suzi` between them. :O)
