Welcome to Chinariders, where we acknowledge the pervasive global economy does indeed extend to motorcycles!
I had a friend that owned the Magnum V65. He lost 2nd gear drag racing! I was a fan of the Sabre myself, but never bought one. Lots of GS series though. The 550 was my first (first year of release), and a 550E the next year when I traded my original 550 with my brother for a 69 Chevy Nova !!
Then onto a brand new GS850G (sweet bike). My college Biology professor bought a new GS650G and we used to ride together in Albuquerque (I was on a GS1100E with TSCC by then). Another nice GS.
Wait a minute. I know you.
Well. I know your posts. FYI, I got off the road after too many intersection close calls. I do venture out on the pavement, but mostly to get to dirt now.
