There are many here that are saying it's not worth the asking price. I agree, and will go a step farther: it's not worth the time to go look at it.

That one picture is a bit fuzzy, but hillsy could be right, it might be a GR650, not a GS650. They share wheels and handlebars, virtually nothing else.

Besides the fact that the frame has been butchered, there is the "peanut" tank that makes the bike virtually worthless, and then throw in the fact that there wasn't even a GS650 in '84. There are just SO many things wrong, I wouldn't waste my time to even pick up the phone to tell them I was not coming.
