What are the most beautiful GS models? Aesthetic questions

[rphillips]

Maybe not "one man's opinion", I think I remember another person say'in they like the "L" models, but he was too embarrassed to give his name.... Naw, just poking fun, that's why they make different models, different strikes for different folks.

L models? Please lol

L AND shaft?!? The morbidly obese 850??? Pul-lease!!!

I’m partial to the “T”, but that’s just me.

Without question -- the 1983 GS850 G L ---

-- one man's opinion

Ah man, this just turned into an oil thread and someone threw down with SuperTech.

Ooh, gloves are off. Don't you be badmouthin' my Walmart oil.

I'll go....step seat, extended forks, pea size tank, terrible ridding position, high handle bars...but it does have a GS engine, so that's good.
Just kidding...sorta....to each his own.

My thoughts as well. Those are things that I don't personally like however a reason I take an interest in motorcycles is because they are such a reflection on the individual choices you are able to make. Some people don't like redheads and others do!

[rphillips]

OOhh, I remember when I really liked the redheads... Now days it don't matter, I just scarf up what ever's available.

I just can't learn to like the new black wheel fad that has taken over. Even new upscale autos have very nice stylish cast wheels, then the paint them black &, to me, ruin them. The early GS cast wheels were grey, they looked a lot better if grey was painted black, but the silver rim and spokes had to remain silver. Like Suzuki started doing in later yrs.

Fad? Fad you say? Why I oughta tan your hide, you young whippersnapper. In my day, you got black wheels and you LIKED it! You youngins just go for gee-gaws and doo-dads, and don't appreciate pure beauty.

Oh. By the way my son said try black on the wheels and I did, I mean it's like $10 of paint. I like the look. Of course I do, it reminds me of me ol' Model T!

My turn...

I leave my BBQ grill in the backyard. I don't haul it around on the back of my bike!

[rphillips]

Rob, some folks like BBQ waaay more than you do... Same with bikes some like the "Cruis'in for Burger" bikes way more than you.

Eating and riding = non sequitur. I like to travel light. The fumes on a gas stop were always enough for me. But if you're a 'foodie', why not stash a stick of gum in your pocket? (ONE stick, not the whole pack.)

Me and the old riding buddies once went over the river and through the woods (to New Jersey) for an 'all you can eat' Chinese place. Took maybe two cars, but one guy insisted on riding his new '75 Gold Wing. I said, "Mike, you're going to regret this." "Nonsense," he said.

After the meal...
"Rob, you want ride my Wing home for me? I think I'd rather go back in one of the cars. Scott? Barry? Anyone???"

Moral of the story: you either eat, or you ride. And we were 19 years old!

Go to New Jersey to eat??? I'd think way more reasonable if you were in New Jersey, go someplace else to eat. When I's in NJ the odor would kill your appetite.
