      That's an '81. Square headlight easiest giveaway. (1980?)
      1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        I would say either '80 or '81. Don't know that particular model enough to know all the details.

          Not sure why but in all my years of riding around the Portland/Vancouver area I have only seen 2 GS Suzuki’s. One was an 83 identical to mine at the Oaks park OVMC meet about 8years ago,the other was a stock appearing 77 or 78 750 that just happened to be riding the same direction. At least in these two cities you would think there would be more than a few around.

            They're around.



            I used to think the same thing about Albuquerque. Where'd they all go? Once I took a closer look, over the past few years ive seen several.

              I actually saw one yesterday in town. Only a quick glimpse, but it looked like a late 70s 550 or 750. Ratty, flat black, no rear fender, but surprisingly it had a decent looking uncut stock exhaust.

                saw the gs450matic that i posted on the for sale section today, talked to dude and told him about the valve adjustment, he didnt know what it was but he said the owner told him he did it recently, told him search this website up for help, didnt seem half bad just rough cosmetically, engine may have been louder than exhaust it was stock.

                meant i saw the bike today, posted it a little while ago on here

                  Saw an 82 1100e in maroon earlier today. Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture or an opportunity to chat with its owner. Nice to see one in the wild.

                              Caught a glimpse of what looked like a yellow GS (not sure which model but tail looked early 80's) in my hometown of Ipswich MA yesterday--member's bike by any chance?

                                In the first five minutes of 1978's "Game of Death" with B. Lee & K. Abdul-Jabbar. I think it's a nice example of a Yamaha two stroke twin. Am I right?
