Mind you - GSX1100s were released in '79 so maybe they are all from c. 1981.

I got me Z200 from Harry Wood's in January '81, so I'd go with that.
I lived in Lancaster Street just up from there from 1980 to 1984 and Westgate road was a must do every Saturday!! Guys pullin' wheelies in H1's H2's and RD's all day long
Looks ceryainly from that time ,and Harry woods is exactly as I remember it. Last time I was there in 2004 it looked very different and Fulla Yuppies

I noticed the MT-5 and the X-1 on the shelf there, that brought back memories of me begging my parents for either one.
They bought me a Puch Maxi, secondhand, for £25 hoping it would embarass me enough to put me off. It failed

Really enjoyed them pics, It's interesting to see the new Reheigh being built on the right, the last peice was put in when I was at Rye hill college doing pipefitting/Plumbing So I'm guessing 81 as well.

HARRY WOODS
Just looked in the old stuff i have kept a receipt number 1928 from harry wood 195/203 westgate road newcastle upon tyne ne4 6dn. Dated 20/06/1981 (I was only 24 years old) received £724.84 from mr m barclay for repairs to suzuki gs750 WFT968T. This was paid for by the insurance company of the IDIOT in a yellow vauxhall viva who pulled out in front of me on a dual carrageway and he said those famous words I DID NOT SEE YOU. I was hoping it was going to be written off so i could get a new GSX1100 as they had just been launched. It worked out well i got the bike repaired and over £4000.00 compensation. so i bought a new honda cb900
