      Edit: Please don't tell Tom that I called one of these beautiful or I may get kicked out of the L-hater club.
      Oh, that two tone color schem is nice. And that bike is nice an shiney.

      Yah, Ls look nice.
      I recall being in a mo'cycle dealer showroom back in early 80s. They had a big mirror next to some of the cruiser bikes (K'saki Limited) so you could see how you looked on it. I thought instead of a mirror, they should have had something that pushed on your chest so could feel what it was like to have to hold yourself up against the wind.

      Withe the blacked engine I would quess that to be an 83.

      maybe 82 by the black color.
      (82 GS650G black is what I had for 20+ years)

      Picture from side would be better.
      But, I found it is not a good idea to try and get up beside a bike going down highway to get a "sighting" photo. I was trying that one time, trying to catch up with car but then go same speed, and look sideways, and take picture. About caused a big problem, because I didnt realize the bike was slowing and moving over to get into exit lane. So decided not to try that again.
      So I will be happy with your picture from the rear.

        I was on my way to lunch the other day, saw a bike turn in to the hardware store. Saw the round cam covers, had to turn around to see it and talk to the rider.

        After introducing myself, I asked if he was aware of GSR, he said he was a member.

        Haven't seen him on the board for quite a while, but had a nice chat with Onchiman, riding his '79 550.

          I haven't seen one "vintage" (ie 70's-80's) GS this year except my own, although there are a couple of current 500's around. The weekend roads are absolutely clogged with cruisers. I can't believe how many. Still, around here most wave regardless of what you're riding.

            81 1100E in MA

            Saw an 81 1100E today on the way home from the office on Concord Rd at the intersection with Route 3, in Billerica, MA. I caught the guy at the light, but with his full face helment, he couldn't hear me ask about the GSR. His response was "it's an 81!" I must admit, it was in very clean condition - black with red pinstripes. I almost chased him down to chat, but wanted to get home for what was left of the weekend.... Hopefully, I'll see him again and get another chance....

                Janice and I went away up Island for the weekend and I saw a guy go through an intersection at the last minute and it lookes like something vintage japanese. So I caught him at the next light. It was a beautiful 1979 gs1000! He told me he bought it new! Very cool. I never got a chance but I wanted to ask him if he was on GSR. We were in Courtenay.

                  Met up with two young guys on these GS's this weekend. I asked them why they would buy old GS's and they said because "they are cool"! Hehe from the mouths of babes. They looked pretty cool on them too, complete with retro helmets, bigs shades, beards, skinny jeans and plaid shirts.
                  First bike is a 78 gs 550

                  Next is a 79 gs1000

                    Nice! Did you find out anything about that exhaust set-up?
                    That is KILLER.

                    I saw a late '70s GS550 cafe style in my tiny little town, but I was on foot and he was riding by, so I never got to talk to him.

                    Fast forward a couple weeks and I get pulled over by an RCMP (police) truck.
                    The officer walks up and says "What year is that GS? I Have an old 550 Cafe racer!"

                    Turns out he pulled me over just to chat about GSes, lol.

                      I don't know Tank, but you are right they are awesome. AZR are thinks the name of them starts with a "B" but I don't know. Here is a pic of a Kawa that I took last month. It had cool pipes too.

                        Yeah, it's killer, looks killer on your hands when you're trying to take the oil filter cover off

                          I knew there would be a place for this once I searched long enough on this site. Saw this guy while getting a tag for the "Riding Game" I was gunna leave a note or something, but I didn't have paper or a pen.. Mine is the Darker Grey ("L" model)

                            LOL - might skip the oil filter change once or twice there!

                                I believe that is the OEM set-up, when I worked at a Kawasaki dealer back in the day, I happened to take a customer's SR for a ride, and, damn!, it was just about the smoothest running engine I'd ever ridden, like everything was just in PERFECT order. Certainly left an impression that has lasted.
