    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My New to me GR650 I grabbed for $400, sitting in mechanic shop for over 15 years, 14k miles. New tires, Brakes and carb clean, fork seals, past state inspection and she runs like a top. Over a thousand carefree miles. My favorite 80's Suzuki twin I've ever ridden. Way more fun then my friends old 2008 GS500F. I have to say Suzuki did a great job on this one.... Too bad it never caught. I think the dumb Tempter name killed it. Everyone that see's the bike say the name is dumb but the bike is frickin awesome! Allot of fun this one!

Nice score! I know Big Rich is a fan of the 650's... they are so rare down here it's not funny... I think I saw one once that wasn't in a museum...
 
Hey! look! an 8 valve engine twin in the USA! Nice bike! How do you like the bike/engine,barnbiketom? I'm always curious when I see these.

Here is a Canadian 1983 GS400E. I sold it two years ago but think it should be included here. It had a great sounding 8 valve engine.

Here is my daily rider, a 1983 GR650. over the winter I am rebuilding the starter motor, repacking the exhaust and installing new stainless brake line.
 
Nice GR!!!! I love that paint scheme. I have the standard GR650X with spokes... SS lines are good, I'm doing a rebuild on this thread.

Oh Welcome!!!
 
I'd love to take one of those little 8V 250's for a spin! Looks nice and I'm glad you put it to work!!!
