    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Hi,
I am 17 and getting my motorcycle license on the 19th of this month
(April) :D . For my first bike I wanted to get a GS650, I looked
around and found one, the owner says its a 1981 GS650L, but
my insurance guy said he couldn't find a 650L for that year.
So, my question: Is there really a 1981 GS650L? I know this is
the place for GS questions, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
 
It's really a GS650GL (if it's a shaftie, and I think it is). Hope that helps.
 
Wow that got replied to quick, thanks.
Two more questions:
1-umm... whats a "shaftie"? :oops:
2-Does anybody know off the top of their head, or a website where
i can find out, all the different GS650s made for 1981?
Thanks a lot for the help, i appreciate it! :D
 
A shaftie is a bike driven with a shaft, like a car, instead of a chain or belt.
A good place to look is right here in the gallery pages, or http://www.bikez.com.
