    Back after a long break

    Hi folks,

    I'm a returning member from the UK.
    I previously restored a 1980 GS250T a few years ago with help from GSR.
    I currently have a 'new old style' Moto Guzzi V7, so still biking!

    My better half just sold her 2017 SV650 because she never really gelled with a V twin.
    She is on the hunt for a classic GS to do up and keep.

    I remember my 250T was a bloody nightmare finding parts for so she (I should say we) want something that has decent parts availability in the UK preferably.
    We would ideally like to stay below 1000cc and it must be a four cylinder four stroke naked 70's to early 80's.

    With all that in mind, hit us with your suggestions!
    😊

    ...998cc?...
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      Since you are in the UK, how about a nice 3 cylinder Triumph 800. They are a blast to ride. Depending on budget, you could get one pretty reasonable I would think.
      Light weight and newer technology == win win.

      edit: welcome back to the site.

          Managed to find a tidy GS550. Not run for a while so engine will be scrutinized before attempting to start it.🔧⛽⚡💥

          Thanks for responses.

          😊
