That does look nice.

I always thought the GS looked so much bulkier than a Z1.

Love it Paul. Wish it was mine, nice patina, our transatlantic brothers would call it a survivor
are the bars original as I thought all UK bikes had low rise jobs, perhaps an option from new? Very cool bike mate :luv

If that was mine I wouldn't even consider restoring it, it's gorgeous as it is.
Cheers,
