GS Sightings

[Evil Hobbit]

Hi all,
Thought I's start a thread for posting GS Sightings. If you see a GS on your travels let us know. Start adding sightings!
Maybe we need a seperate forum for this.

Late 90's bright yellow GS500E with full sport dress in mint condition sighted at the parking lot outside The South China Buffet off route 72 in Lebanon PA April 8th 2004 during lunch hour (noon).

Did not see the owner, just the bike.

I've seen 3 GS'es on the side of a barn yesterday in Winchester NH.
2 of them looked like GS750/700's. One with the fairing, one without. The other GS could have been a GS650.
Seemed they made room on the patio for a Kawasaki Vulcan 8O :x :roll:

Theres a '80 GS550E in my drive way waiting for its owner to learn how to ride...

Including mine, there are 3 very sorry looking GS400s riding around Ottawa that I've seen. I've seen some nice GS400s too. There are lots of GSs for sale in town too, all under 2 grand CDN.

Don't hate them Doug, some people are just confused. It is the job of us disciples of the GS to go show them the error of their ways. I suggest we get a group of GS riders together and drive up and show interest in them. Restore their faith in the value of those old bikes

Saw a very nice GS550E today on my way to the shops, a blue one

And there is a GS1100S standing in my house...

Saw a maroon GS850G today. It was parked at the local dealer and looked to be atleast 20 years old! :lol: Not really much to write home about, it was used and abused at 92,000 km.

Cheers, Steve

I saw a very nice 850 broke down on the side of the road with its vintage (mid70's) owner rolling out his tool roll next to it.
it tore me up having to go on by without stopping, but I was on my way to a road call for work and couldnt stop.
it still hurts knowing I left a fellow GS'er stranded on the side of the road.

We do what we can when we can. Stop next time.

Why do I get visions of that biker gang in Every Which Way But Loose.

Both a GS400 and a GS450 at Paparo's today in for service. I didn't get years but the 450 looked really good and had 8k miles on it. The 400 was repainted and had no emblems and a lot more miles. Both bikes are owned by women. Both were blue.

Oh man, I got to hear the 82 seca 650 I park beside run today. What a nice sound...ofcourse my 400 stalled while I was looking at the seca. The whirring sound of a 4 is way better than the pitiful thump....thump....pause...pffft....pffft...pause.....thump... of a twin.

I had one of those Steve Mine was the Turbo. Indeed they are intoxicating. I will own it again someday if I can work it out. Those engines are similar in there heartiness and durability to the GS engine.
And they hold a tune up for a long time.

errrr
tax money is gone already.
But some day this will happen.

I have been told you can still get them from Japan in their
crates yet. But no one to bring them over.

All twins are not pitiful in sound-you should hear the TL1000 with full race Yosh RS3's- it will set off car alarms and drown out all inline 4's below 8,000 rpm. I guess all you need is another 600cc to set that guy straight. Besides it is only a Yamaha. Ride On, Ed.
