GS Sightings

Saw what looked to be maybe a GS850G with a blue tank pulling out of the Sunoco station at the Lee Traffic Circle in New Hampshire at around 3:30 today. Only got a quick look as it was already on the move and I was just pulling in. Anybody from here?
 
I rode my '80 GS1000G from Orange County up to Laguna Seca. Spotted a beautiful '79 (?) GS850 in the parking dirt. Didn't have a writing utensil to leave a GSResources message.
 
Saw a black rat bike GS750E parked in front of a motel on Rt30. Been eying the wheels sticking out of the bike cover for awhile and yesterday was the first time I had seen it uncovered.
 
At the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. I spotted a nice looking '79 GS1000E in the parking lot. Black, with a cafe fairing & Yoshimura pipes. She looked to be in excellent condition for her age, with 48K on the clock.

I wish I had my digital camera with me.

I left my GS Resources calling card & my cell phone number. I hope the owner gets in touch...
 
Theres a cherry 78ish Gs1000 in full fairing a couple blocks from my house...see him round town all the time...gorgeous bike old man takes care of it well. Too bad he lives on a crappy street and has no garage..

Aw, shoot Merk! You were in the Bay Area and didn't look anybody up? Give a shout out next time you're up this way. My garage is always open for a pitstop & a cold one!
 
Wow, I'm surprised to see GS Sightings buried on page 4. This used to be a popular thread.

So last Saturday...that would be May 3rd, we were riding around in the western Sierra's. Just outside of Sutter Creek. Paul F in the lead, then me, followed by Jadesystem, then Kent. All on GS1100's, I might add. Going the oposite direction was another GS1100 (could have been a 750). I only saw it for a second. But I would call it an '83 GS1100ES. It had the same paint job & body like jadesystem's bike.

I wonder who it was? Paul is the local guy, and he doesn't know who else has a GS in the area. We didn't turn around, and apparently neither did he. Too bad.
 
gs sighting!

gs sighting!

i saw not one, but two! gs in lansing, MI today! one was a GK i recognized the fairing. probably a 1100.. looked alot like my g. another one that was a small twin, i'm guessing it was a 550? it had no tank badges or side badges, but i could see the body styling in it. was kind of ratted out.. but it actually looked cool. i wonder if either of them are members here..
 
550 is a 4cyl, if it were a twin look towards a 250, 400, 425 and 450 with the 450 being the most popular in the states as far as I know.
 
ah must have been a 450 then it had 2 single pipes comming from the head.
 
Not to be a smart a$$, but I saw two of the most rare GS's, an 82 1000SZ and an 84 GSX750SE just this morning. In my garage! Har de har har....
 
Saw a dark blue GS 400-450? heading east on Jubilee at about 4pm.Also,my land lord has 2 Gs 650 L's not running(for shame!)1 pretty complete the others a parts bike.Too bad they're a good lookin' bike those.I 'm already busy with my 82 750T.I will tell any GS riders I talk to about this site.
 
Saw REAL Katana 1100, the first time in years. Sounded great, had a Bassani pipe
 
stubled upon this thread today. saw a 82 GS650G at a Home Depot in Berlin, New Jersey. Maroon. Looked pretty good.
 
Was heading out to my new pl;ace in Vernonia las Wednesday morning. I caught site of a clasic bike a half dozen cars ahead in the next lane. It took 12 miles before I was able to spy the mufflers and knew immediately that it was an old Suzuki. In another mile I was up along side of it and low and behold an 80's something 550L was buzzing it's way up the hill.

I came out to my bike after work last week and there was a 1980 GS850 sitting right next to it! Talked to the owner for a bit, but didn't catch his name. Any other Helena, MT GS-ers on here?

That would have been me if you worked at Smyth Automotive in West Chester, OH and rode an '82 650L. I forgot to tell him I like the color he chose.
 
Trailed an early 80's 850 today for amile on Montgomery near Kenwood in Cincy. Brown oin color, mostly original, nice and quiet with a smooth idle. Where I moved in February, I see bikers every day all day going back and forth, but only seen 1 or 2 Suzukis. Mostly newer Harleys, and other touring bikes, or younger yutes on noisy crotch rockets.
 
saw an 1100E like Craigers at the local Suzuki dealer a few days ago,didn't talk to the guy though.And there's another in my 'hood,older model bobbed w/high bars and sissy bar,short rear fender,it looks good.Parked behind the Cambridge on Pembina Hwy. which is no sissy bar.
 
I spotted a Maroon GS1100 this morning just south of Yorkville IL on Rt,47 & 126 St. I not sure it looked like it could have be an 1980 or 81. The old girl sounded sweet and she was looking good.
I just wondering it someone on this forum is the proud owner.
