This was another chance to go back for a while to my late teens when all I had was a great time especially on my GS 1000 tearing up the streets with a few buddies on their own GS 1000's the seating doesn't work for me now in my 60's so I went over it detailed it a little I never had a shaft drive in the old days and thought i would try it but as in the other GS 1000 i have listed . he seating position is hard on my knees and this will go to the right rider I'm sure. the g model . shaft drive starts and runs great. it has been sitting for a few months and battery has been kept up still turns over fine . sold as is with a strong engine and no drive issues. brakes all fine tires are great the bike is old and looks very good it is not new looking but a restoration would be great for this old beauty
