Congrats on the retirement! I'm hoping that day arrives in a couple of years.
My dad had a 1981 GS1100E that I ended up bringing to Texas with me when I was in college. This is the bike when he first bought it.

He went on to trick it out with some fairing work and took it on a trip around Europe.

It was a great bike. If I recall correctly, it was one of, if not the fastest production bike for the time. I remember having a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground in 1st gear until the fairing--and even then it was very easy to do wheelies.
Envious that you've found one in good condition! Enjoy it.
