    New GS Owner here from SW Ohio

    Hello all. I am a die hard KZ fan. It was the bike I started with from my father, and have, for the most part, never looked back. Over the last 25 years of riding on the road, I have owned 3 GS's. YEARS ago, it was a GS 550 a neighbor gave me. In the early 90's, I had a 78 GS750E. I now have a GS 850L, 1980 model. Was looking for a nice bike for the wife and I to ride together, and this one came along for a great price so I picked it up. Rides like a dream, feels smaller than my KZ650, and rides two up easily.

    Another 850 in the group, and probably (almost) in my back yard.

    Let me know if you need any help, I'm not too far away.
