Thought i would show you all my r80gs that i picked up from Paddington today.
She is a bit rough round the edges at the mo but then so would you be after 90000 miles and a trip to china and back earlier this year.

My project wouldn't even get me from Westbury to the Sally so you've got yourself a bargain [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Nice airhead project. 90K - just run in.

Good quality bike you got there,think they had Nickoseal or Ceramic bores fitted on that GS model.
If he/she went to China on it they might have a blog on

You're a brave man! My oldie has done half that and gives me (well, Steve, as he fixes it LOL) sooooooooooo much trouble.
90k.... must be up for first service soon??? ;D
Good stuff though. Keep updating your progress.

I rode one of those across Aus and back,it had to take a reall hammering,3 1/2 thousand miles of `bull dust`,thats the red rocky,powdery stuff that makes up alot of the back roads out there.It was fantastic,the only time it missed a beat was when i parked it in a Wallaby.2 hours later I came round,1 hour later I was off again.She just took everything in her stride.It was one of the best bikes I`ve ever had.I hope you have as much fun on that one as I did on mine.
