I purchased this GS in May 2017 from Martin Moto with 30K miles. FWIW (probably nothing), I was told that it had been traded in by one of guys from Revzilla). In the past nine years and 10K miles, I’ve not had one hiccup or glitch with it; it has been absolutely dependable. I am selling it because I have too many bikes and I haven’t done dual sport riding in a couple years.
This special edition 30 Years of GS model added pearl white paint, a robust welded aluminum sump guard, stainless steel-hooped hand guards with spoilers, a red seat, clear turn signal lenses, and 30 Years decals. IMO, it is a nice-looking model, though the red seat is a bit much. Other factory options include switchable ABS, center stand, heated grips (warm and nuclear settings), and Vario side cases (will need lock cores).
The bike is unmolested, with just a few modifications of note. Previous owner added a tall Cee Bailey windshield and carbon fiber heel guard. I added:
2” Rox Risers (no mods to cables or wiring)
MRA adjustable windscreen extension
Upgraded LED headlamp (original provided) with Lexan shield
(grey) Touratech seat (original provided).
Anti-Gravity Re-Start lithium ion battery (excellent battery saving half a dozen or so pounds of weigh carried high)
This bike can be used as a pack mule, with either the Vario cases or a custom luggage setup that will also come with the bike. As I was riding the NEBDR, I didn’t want to worry about breaking the plastic Vario side cases, so I added some custom laser cut and powder coated steel side plates to anchor Rigg Gear dry saddle bags. Could also be used to mount Rotopax or other solutions. In addition to side storage, there’s a Marsee tank bag and a Shad top box (fits a full face helmet). Finally, if you want it, I made up a bicycle rack, so you can take your bicycle to the trailhead. You’ll definitely get some looks with that setup.
This bike is not a garage queen. It has been used (but not abused) as a dual sport, as was its intended purpose. Cosmetically, the plastics are in pretty good shape; but there are certainly some scrapes that bear witness to off-road duty. Dunlop Trailmax Mission (50/50) tires have nearly full life left. When not being ridden, the GS lived in my reasonably climate-controlled garage with a handful of stablemates.
Thanks for looking.
