off of ebay, and will be taking delivery of it on July 23rd.  I can't wait to pick it up!

It is a 2001 GS500 with 8k on the odo.

that's a beautiful one! Congratulations and welcome to the site.
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
