Welcome along Trevorf.
Nice stable of bikes you got there. That GS1000 is a beauty. Sharp looking man cave too  :onya:
Best of luck finding a 14 that fits the bill.
Cheers from Down Under  :cheers:

Gidday & welcome Trevor. Magnificent looking cave you've got there.  A 14 in that stable would fit very nicely.  Good luck with importing one, as mentioned in the other post, give Stan (Globalrider) a yell.

Some time back me and the (then wife, now ex) did a trip around BC - lovely place.


I might add that you Canadians do set out to confuse people.

Vancouver is NOT the capital of BC as may assume. The capital is of course Victoria.

Victoria is on Vancouver Island. But Vancouver isn't - it's on the mainland.   :confused1:

And Victoria Island is right the way up the top and nothing to do with either :)

Welcome Trevorf!
I like that GS 1000S. I rode 200 000 km with my GS 1000G during 25 years. Great bike.

Welcome!
Very impressive collection!

Classic bikes are classic, but (IMHO) your K1300R is is the best!

Getting a gsx1400 will complete the line gs1000 gsx1100 gsx1400
I love both your older gsx and gs .the gs1000 will always hold a special place with me as I had a gs1000ec many mods and rebuilds. I did 100000 miles on it in 8 years some of the best biking days of my life.
:cheers:

Some nice bikes.

The GS750E would be my pic of the bunch, easy to turn into an air cooled 11 or oil cooled 12.

If your chatting to folk oversea's, most country's had the 8 valve bikes sold and badged as a "GS" but the 16 valve like yours are "GSX" outside of the US.

I have the 1100 version but with the bigger boxy square backed tank not the sloping one like yours.

Your looks very tidy. I like it.  :cool:
