    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.

  • 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.

All,


Don't know why I never got around to this - I have two articles scanned, a review of the 1983 GS750ES and one of the 1985 GS700ES.

They're .pdf files, and pretty good resolution (zoomable). I can email them out, but they're too big for dial-uppers. PM me your email address and I'll send them out - details below:


GS750ES - Cycle magazine, June 1983
7 pages including specifications, 4.9 megs

GS700ES - Cycle World magazine, March 1985
5 pages including specifications, 2.2 megs


I have some other reviews, plus some comparisons (vs. the 1983 Interceptor, for instance). I bought several 1983 magazines from eBay last year, but have moved since. I'll dig them up and scan those articals as well - as I find them.


-Q!
 
Bump.

I emailed everyone that PM'd me - if you haven't gotten anything, please let me know.

For those that I sent the articles to, please confirm that you got them. If your server bounced them because they were too large, you probably won't even know that I sent them.


-Q!
 
Just went through my magazines and found a few more articles. I'll get them scanned in over the weekend, as my fascist employer wants me to work tomorrow. Oh, wait - that would be me. :oops:


Anyways, here's what I have:


GS750ED, 6-page road test "Quickest and Lightest" - Cycle Guide, August 1983

"Pulling Out The Stops", GPz750 vs. GS750ED 9-page comparison - Cycle Canada, May 1983

"King of The Heavyweights", single-page review of the GS1100E - Cycle, June 1983

"The Stars of 1983", 2-page review article for Suzuki's 1983 model lineup (contains blurbs about the GS1100ES, GS1100S, GS750E/ES, GS550E/ES, XN85, & GR650) - Cycle World, January 1983

"In Search of The Free Lunch", Intake & Exhaust Modification How-To using a 1983 GS1100E as the test bike, 7-page article - Cycle Word, January 1983

GS1100E 2-page advertisement "Fly a Legend" - Cycle, June 1983

GR650/GR650X Tempter 2-page advertisement "State-of-The-Art Tradition" - Cycle, June 1983

ADDITIONS BELOW

3-article series from Performance Bikes (UK) from July/August/September 1995 where the staff had a challenge to buy & hop-up a bike on a budget for a track-day competition. The bikes were an '83 GS750ES , '85 VF750 Interceptor, '85 RD350LC, and a Yamaha TDR250 - very cool read!)

Yoshimura 1983 GS750E review, 5-pages - Motorcyclist, January 1984 (forgot about this one - got it from Kevan Welch about 3 years ago ;))

GS750ESF (1984) 2-page factory sales brochure (UK)




I also have the article below scanned for someone else - don't know if any of you own a Venture....

Yamaha XVZ12TK Venture, 14-page road test "King of Touring" - Cycle, June 1983


I'll probably just upload these to my server - PM me and I'll send you the link, or post it in my sig line.

If any of you have any GS-series articles, adverts, or brochures, I'd be more than happy to host them for sharing.


Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving,


-Q!


(I'll probably scan the rest of the articles, too - there's a top 10 for 1983, road test of the CB1100F, VF750 Interceptor, CB550/650SC Nighthawks, GPz1100, Seca 750, XR350/500 etc., along with several loose articles and brochures for the 1990-1993 VFR750F. When I get around to them, I'll host 'em for download as well. It seems people pay lots of money to online search companies to compile photocopies of advertisements and articles for a particular vehicle. Don't really see how it's legal to sell photocopies....? Anyways, they'll be available to anyone as long as my bandwidth holds up ;))

I'll PM this too, just want to keep the thread alive. I'd like a copy of the In Search of The Free Lunch article.
