    233 year old GS850

    Well they are renowned for their longevity but this guy (who obviously struggles a bit with the lingo) has one manufactured in 1779:

    79 GS1000S
    79 GS1000S (another one)
    80 GSX750
    80 GS550
    80 CB650 cafe racer
    75 PC50 - the one with OHV and pedals...
    75 TS100 - being ridden (suicidally) by my father

        Well, it ran for 222 years, I wonder what happened 11 years ago to stop it? Maybe the valves need adjusting.

          Did King George or General Cornwallis ride it on the weekends?
