    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.

I dunno, those S' are pretty spiffy!

But I'm happy they concentrated on makin' 'em so reliable and bullet proof rather than how they looked...

This is my little 250, overall a great bike to not only learn to ride on but learn to work on too.

OK, I can play here, too. :D

It has been gone for a long time now, but this was the first GS in our stable, an '81 450T.
#1 son got it for the princely sum of $50. Had it for about a year, sold it for $500 and bought a 650L with the money.

Wow bikes are alot cheaper in the States!
True enough. Just ask Simon (Keuther) about his.

I think he bought the bike, got airline tickets for two, enjoyed three weeks or so riding it around parts of the USA
and flew home for less than he could have bought the same bike in Oz.

Bonus time: he still has the bike (stored here) and will be coming back to ride it some more. :D

Yep that's about right too. Prices here are a little insane in comparison.

There's an 85 GS1100GK for sale here with $42K kms on the clock that's been triked and they want $18500 for it.

There're two GS850G's for sale too, one $2800, one $2900.

No $150 bargains around here I'm afraid, usually not even a basket case!
 
Just picked this up last week. Excited to get it running for next spring.

It's an '83 GS400E.

I sure like those 8valve 400s that you guys got to the north. Yours looks like its in nice shape. I like the wheels as well.

How's the hardtail? What psi are you running in the rear?

harder in the summer, softer in the winter. about 5-15psi below stock specs. I ride it mostly in the winter to keep my other bikes away from harsh weather. the hardtail is good, very easy to corner and take off, 10 times better than stock since its much lower and stiffer. If I did the hardtail again, I would go 1-2" shorter with the same drop just to shorten the wheelbase. as it is its 4" over stock.
