I don't have a GS500F (yet) , however my with my Old bike, (Honda VTR250)
No one beleived it was only a 250, and most Riding Lawnmowers had more horsepower than it.  People who knew a lot about bikes could easily tell.

The rear tire is the dead giveaway.  Big Motor - Big Fat Rear Tire.

Yeah, I remember the 2nd or 3rd day I had it and an old timer in a K series bimmer pulled up...during our chat he thought my 500F was a liter bike. I was like "Nah, its "only" a 500"....  :mrgreen: It felt good. But seriously, at about ~400 lbs dry, the GS aint exactly a light weight.
