    I only ever bought one new motorcycle in my life ....My 1983 GS 750 which I still own and ride .... It was a nightmare experience as apparently I am the only owner of that model that blew up after 500 km.'s .... And I mean blew up ..... The connecting rod was sticking out the front of the block . Somehow they got the idea I had it on the track when the truth of the matter was I was following the break in measures suggested and it had yet to see redline ..... They eventually diagnosed it as an un-tightened connecting rod bolt but it was six months before I was back on the road ..... From that day forward I decided to let someone else work out the kinks on a new vehicle of any kind .....
