The GS 1000 is a comfortable, smooth and, in my opinion, a well built machine of the past. It definitely hasn’t got the same power it exited the factory with, but its got more than enough for playing around the twisties. The handling is not up to modern standards (obviously) but it can still be ridden fairly fast through the bends and, if you need to, it has surprisingly good brakes for its age. I’ve not owned it long but I’m certainly loving a new type of riding on my first vintage motorcycle.
