    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Put this in Rode Ready Bikes for sale but figured I'd double the chances for feedback here.
I'm a heartbeat away from buying this bike, hell I'm going to buy it....
Just was looking for some opinions on it.
My present bike is a 80 GS550e, love the thing but want something bigger for longer rides with the wife on board.
I'm no expert on motorcycles, been riding about 3 years, is it an 81 and it's just GS1100, no e, or any other suffix ?
Think the price is too good to be true ?

Thanks in advance everyone

If it IS an "81", it's a GS1100EX. It may be faded, but it's also been painted. The "81"'s were either dark blue with light blue stripes or black with red & orange stripes. Still seems like a good price.
 
Love that year, yes, in my opinion you did well. Hard to find those all in one piece anymore. Hopefully it operates as well as the auction says, if so you'll enjoy riding that bike for years to come.

My buddy had one of those in black back in the day, he named it "Death Wish" and had it painted on the fairing. Crazy fast and lots of fun.
 
Thanks

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.
Was really laboring with this cause can't really afford it right now but what the heck...
 
Assuming it's in decent mechanical shape and doesn't need much more than a couple hundred $$ put into it to it to get it up to snuff, that's a pretty good deal, I think.

Congratulations.
