      This is my Suzuki GS1000G.  I got this bike in January from a coworker of a friend.  It's tough.  It sat in a barn for 2 years and outside for 2 years.  On the bright side the last thing it had done was a complete carb clean, tune, and synch by a shop.  So, mechanically, it should be good once it's cleaned, bondoed, shined, and repainted.   Cosmetically it's not *soooooo* bad.  I guess.  From what I have read it should make a sweet tour machine when done.  I totally dig the radio!  That will rule once a better set is installed.  It's a heavy machine though- lots of weight and it seems pretty high.  Not a bike for a small person.  

    UPDATE:  I sold the GS.  It was great fun, and wow was it fast for a bike that size, but it wasn't me.  Fun to fix though- more knowledge gained.
