000005 mile 1000S

[storm 64]

Last week or so I rode by a Suzuki/Yamaha shop. Unfortunately it was closed. Tonight I made it there by 6:00 closing time. The owner had a small collection of motorcycles one was a GS 1000S! It looked beautiful. I looked at the miles and couldn't believe the low miles. Turns out the motorcycle has never been titled. They recently changed the fluids and rode it up the street and back. Says he was offered $25,000... he turned it down. I think the motorcycle belongs in the AMA or Babor's museum.

Where and who was this dealer? That bike may be worth taking a ride to see!

I'm not telling. Haha. It's at Action Cycle in Alliance, Ohio of all places. The shop has been in operation since 1972. For kicks I'll ask them if they have any S mirrors. Haha

The owner also has a early GSXR, A Rotary, the 1000S, and a early RM125 with racing significants.

I did that at my local shop that has been there forever. He had two left and four right. I bought them all......

Yes, better put it back storage so they don't fade to silver. LOL.

And even this one is missing the clock knob. Some ba$tard probably lifted it.

OK I'm confused, they only had 2 left but you were able to buy 4, right?

That is amazing, if you go by there again can you get the VIN and Engine number for the registry.

Cheers, David.

2 left hand mirrors, and 4 right hand mirrors is what I read.

Will do, I'll get the vin numbers. I'll definitely will be going back. I want to make friends with the fellow. I was on my Yamaha tonight. I'll ride my 1000e next time. You never know maybe he'd rather sell it to a local enthusiast than a museum or big time collector... now your dreaming Norm, pop that little vision out of your head. haha

Check on the mirrors, I need a right and a left. Since no one is riding that one, those two will do.

You would think that since the Chinese copy everything, someone would have made replica mirrors by now.

Not really. No one will ever convince me mine are faded out gold ones.
