Ha! I bought a blue 860GTS back in 1976, It was my first ever new bike off a showroom floor. The showroom in question was HGB Motorcycles in London, often referred to as GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm) motorcycles as a nod to their customer relations policy...
It took me on several trans-continental journeys as well as to work every day, except the days when the ignition failed or when I was replacing the big end bearings. Having a somewhat flat learning curve I graduated to a '75 900ss which I've still got and regularly campaign in the MotoGiro D'Italia.
The GTS was a brilliant bike on a good day, tearing down French N roads to the sun, let us know how you get on with restoring/rebuilding yours.

nice assortment of motos - welcome aboard!

amazing my first trip to the continent on the 860gts was to the the ISDT (in Clermont Ferrand France) in 1980 with my brother on his Benelli 6 have been to France and Germany virtually every year since then, last two years on the Indian but getting to heavy for me now just had my 78 birthday happy times
