Hi fellow air cooled friends!

I've been an avid M/C rider both street and dirt (and even ice) for the past 30 years. I finally aquired my 1st air cooled love a prestine '84 GPz1100A2, (I have been hounding the previous owner for the past 11 years to sell me this bike ). Finally got the owner/friend to crack and now it's mine. After much cleaning and difficult sourcing a few OEM parts, the bike is 99.9% OEM original ! 7700 miles on it. I also completely restored a 1982 GS1100E back in '05 as well, so you can see I have a love for old skool air cooled muscle bikes ! Here's some pics:

You done a good job cleaning that one up.
That baby looks like it's a screamer even when it's on the kick stand. :evil:

Those were the days......and still are.
I have ridden so many bikes and it seems each has their sweetness.
Enjoy that ride and if you someday want to sell it PM me I for sure will buy that badboy from you.

My first "Big Bike" was a 1978 GS850 Shaft.
Man I miss that one. It was smooth and fast, and ran like a watch. Those old Suzuki GS bikes are second only to the KZ Bikes of the same era. You can have your V Twins. there aint nottin' like an old air cooled four cylinder to get your juices flowing.:laugh:
