    I had a GS850G when my wife and I got together, they are very nice bikes. We put many miles on that bike. Nice find!

      Yes, I think it will be some fun. Just need some help getting her off the trailer! Came with alot of extra vetter stuff and original headlight bucket & light. Should be a good project!
