1980 GS1000S FORASALE

Bumped into this on Bikepoint and though it might suit anyone looking to do a restoration on a 1980's superbike. I don't know what might be wrong with it but a project anyone? The condition and price seems right (especially if he is willing to drop it a few $100) and a restored one should sell well enough. PS: It's only just north of Canberra so if anyone was really serious I could look it up.

that's the sort of thing for when I eventually retire........eventually

Shit if that was down the road . I know every part of those after owing one for 15 years and 220 ,000 kls .
IF it is an " s " thats a bargin .

That's what I thought Gus. The drilled discs are probably not originals I'm suspecting - I seem to remember Japanese bikes from the late 70s and early 80s all had solid discs.

my gsx 1100 had drilled discs. my neighbour has one of these he is fixing up with a large amount of factory and yoshimura race parts - looks alright too

Wish I still had mine, and all my hair, and that slimmer physique.....

Warnertown, near Port Pirie, South Australia. Out of shot was my brother's Laverda Jota - flog him in 80kmh top gear roll-ons until about 170, and then the Jota would come sailing past wailing like a banshee

Nice - you look like a model posing for Suzuki! The one north of Canberra sold before I got around to thinking I should own it. You do wonder what ever happened to your old bikes.
