New member with 1980 GS100G

Hi everyone,
I've just bought a 1980 GS1000G, it runs, not perfect though.
Everything seems to be there in one form or another.
The rear master cylinder was leaking, a new one came with the bike so that is already done.
It does need a really good tidy up which hopefully will be happening soon.
I have no idea what type of exhaust that is on it, there is no name or markings.
It seems to run reasonably well but the carbs definitely need looking at.

I had one of those, bought it new in "80", great bikes. Yours has a different looking pipe, couldn't help with ID of it. Congrats & welcome to the site.

Great pick up. Apart from the pipe looks pretty standard. My 1981 GS1000G is virtually original. Lots of these sold in Australia - a great touring bike. I've had mine since new so happy to assist with any advice.

Johno, I see you have a GSX1400, I bought a 2005 model in 2010, 2 previous owners and 24,000k on it.
I had it for 9 years, put 100,000k on it before it was stolen.
I loved that bike, it was great.

The GSX1400 is my fourth Suzuki I have owned. Had it just over five years and just love the grunt and torque of those four big pistons.

i bought the GS1000G new so it's been with me 39 years.

Had a 1976 GS400 and chain drive 78 GS1000 as well.

Congrats, I really liked my 80 1000G, more so than the 82 I had
