Possibly an 83 700 or 84 750 Kawasaki, same stripes-nice bikes. Was the rest of the bike black?

At Indy MotoGP Suzuki 50 Aniversary Display
At Indy MotoGP Suzuki 50 Aniversary Display
And this guy that was pulled out of the parking lot and invited to display bike in the Suzuki 50th Anniversary Historic Display. He was excited about it.
They asked if I was from the Indy area, I so "No, from Michigan." They asked If I rode it there. I said, "Yes, by way of Kentucky."
One Suzuki guy said he had never seen one before (but he was maybe 30 years old).
That was Saturday, pictures Saturday morning. By evening Bike got covered in a real heavy gritty dust. And could see where people bumped into it. Got a scratch on tank.
Did not take it back there on Sunday.

These at the Rolling Concorse, Friday afternoon. Drat. I forgot to go back on Saturday.
Ya got me Redman! You found my 1100G and Buffalo. I saw your GK there too, nice pics.
Now that is a proud owner.
Way to go, John.
Way to go, John.
Yah, saw them there in Rolling Concourse area Friday. Nice. Two of them eh.
And I saw your blue/white 1100G in the Zuki display Sunday.
Had the Suzuki folk contacted you in advance? ... or find you there in parking lot? ... or find you while having bike picture taken at their tent?

Suzuki found us at the concourse on Saturday. They liked all 3 of my vintage S bikes and thought they would go well on the wall.
1977 GS 750 in Philly
1977 GS 750 in Philly
I've been seeing a 1977 GS 750 just like the one I had back then, parked on the sidewalk outside a restaurant at the corner of 13th and Sansom in Philly. Really clean ! I had to go over and see if it WAS my bike from 1977, but mine had a Lockhart oil cooler, Lester mags, and a luggage rack/back rest, but this one was the same color, had the original spokers. Man, that took me back!

Not an 83 700, No, I clearly saw the SUZUKI emblem and GS750[x] on the side panel. The engine sound was pretty high-pitched, making me think it was going at the higher end of the RPMs, though it was normal speed traffic. The rest of the bike mighta been black. I didn't get a good glimpse at its wheels or drive, and didn't notice whether it was an L or not, although I don't remember a bunch of chrome...

Noticed somebody riding a dark colored GS shaft drive at noon today east bound on Heckscher Dr in Jacksonville, FL. Looked to be in pretty good shape.

A really clean looking red GS twin passed by the front of my home in Freehold today, taunting me as I did yardwork...

Two blocks from home yesterday, I saw an oncoming bike turn left, ahead of me. I caught it in the other lane at the light and hollered out the window at the guy "I like your GK". Caught him off-guard, he said "thanks". The light turned green, we proceeded a block, I turned into my driveway, he kept going. 
Looked like the bike could use a little TLC, but sounded OK.

All I could catch was a Suzuki shaft drive, dark color maybe black or blue, other than that no time to see. But it was a solo rider.

Stepped out on my porch a couple evenings ago just in time to see a suzy go by . Looked to be around an 1980 gs 850G not positive on the year it was black with the red stripe outlining the tank and the side cover . The bike looked pretty clean and original from what I saw of it . I was actually caught by surprise as its only the 3rd gs I have seen around here . Sighted cruising down north 6th st towards columbia blvd in st helens Oregon anyone here ?
