I may have to swing by your way to see you 1985 Suzook. I really miss my 1985 GS700E. Still one of my favorite bikes, not as nimble as your 550, but prettier. I keep scanning Craigs List. One of these days I'm gonna find a decent one for under $1500 and buy it. The good ones I see reasonably priced are always gone by the time I find them.
Yeah, they seem to be in either great shape or in need of serious TLC. Mine, ironically, is in what I would consider Good condition - fully funtional/running, but not perfect in appearance. I also need new tires on it in the worst way.
If you're really lookin' for a classic GS, be sure to check out The GSResource Forums - Powered by vBulletin. You'll find plenty for sale, plus, many of the members will post up specimens they find for sale in various sources (mostly ebay and craigslist) around the country.
