82 GS1100E Mr Turbo Rebuild

I made a note of the previous seller's H2 on BaT - this is the bike. The only one that ever scared him, he asked the builder of one featured in an article in one of the 70s mags callled "Kings of the Street" to make him the absolute fastest H2. He put 400 on the side covers as a sleeper type mod. Hit the 1K powerband about 90 and almost lost it.

Evil handling? They must have gotten mixed up with the KZ900/1000. And really now, didn't this thing have time slips for 180+mph in speed runs? How bad could it handle and do that repeatedly?Ed

Edit - they put a 5% hold so 675$ before the person can bid, so hopefully legit. Could be some kid using parent's card though
I'm suspecting a scam bidder, no answer to Email, phone straight to generic recording, joined this month and made one snide comment on another auction a few minutes before the end.Last edited by oldGSfan; 09-16-2022, 08:16 PM.Tom

It wasn't me! Though I can't say I'm saddened that it'll be spending a few more days with you.

What if It's acquired by some evil man who locks it away and doesn't let anybody see or hear it?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

I got a reply where he tries to blame BaT for a bid he meant for another bike. And that I should ask to end the auction, as if it is still going on. A real Mensa guy. Great, and I am scheduled to move out of state in days.Tom

I love to see an H2 next to a Z1. Both have pipes, clip-ons and Grab Ons, and confidently announce, "We take all comers."I made a note of the previous seller's H2 on BaT - this is the bike. The only one that ever scared him, he asked the builder of one featured in an article in one of the 70s mags callled "Kings of the Street" to make him the absolute fastest H2.

Coming to New York? You can keep Mr. Turbo in my living room, next to my 11EZ. While this would be too much to hope for, it's actually a serious offer. My Suzi's been lonely ever since I destroyed my Sporty.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Sure! Actually no, staying out West. The high bidder skunked me, BringaTrailer put me in touch with 2nd highest bidder and waived buyer's fees, and he agreed to buy it. I lost a couple hundred $ but am OK, thankfully not impacting my move.Tom

. So many of the comments were about evil handling, widow maker, death trap etc. Of course nobody had ever ridden it - it rides fantastic. I had to bite my tongue.
