Fantastic bikes, Phil! My GS1000 was the blue 1978. I loved that bike.

This is a true story about my son and a 1980 GS1000, he called me and asked me to go look at the bike, it was for sale by private owner. The owner was a non rider and had taken the bike as payment for a debt, when we got there the bike would only run when it was sitting on the side stand. As soon as we tried to ride it, it would die. The bike was in perfect condition, the only thing non stock was a 4 into 1 Supertrapp header system, The asking price was $750.00, I told my son to offer $600.00 and the guy took the offer. My son was worried about having to truck the bike home, but I told him to get two gallons of gas and put it in the bike. The two gallons of gas did the trick, he rode it home. The bike was out of gas both in the main tank and in the reserve. My son rode the bike one whole summer before he sold it to move on to a couple of GS850s that he put together.
We still laugh about the GS1000 and the empy tank.
