Quote from: cobalt135Ditto on the SV1000 being a better street bike. Plus it just sounds so much meaner than a I4 :nana:

i like how the rc51 sounds...w/ upped pipes of course...and in a parking garage...

What local shop to you like going to? Donell's?

Anyway, I would get the SV1000. There are a million dudes with Gixxer 600's around here.

If you're worried about how comfy your girlfriend is, then keep your GS.

Quote from: DomWait until you crash on your GS before you decide to buy another bike...it's a hell of alot cheaper than on any of those other bikes....especially the Duc... Even if it's a low side in the rain going around a corner too hard, you are going to crash...

We have all heard about the kid that thinks the GS is too slow after a month of riding...I'll assume you are a kid.

...my 2 cents...

He's already taken care of the crashing..

Unless you're hitting redline in every gear in the twisties, you haven't mastered the GS, yet.

You guys realize this is an old thread right?

So what. Is there a rule against resurrecting old threads?

Jake D · November 30, 2005, 01:59:17 PM

No, but you might want to remind everybody that it is an old thread because everyone feels stupid now because we thought we were talking to 97gs500 and we were really talking to nobody. :x

Maybe you could bring back the old thread about me punching noobs in the temple really hard. :lol:

Exactly...

There's nothing wrong with bringing back old threads, but his question was already asked and answered... He kept the GS... :dunno:

....

yeah I did crash.

Donnell's??? No Way! Too far. I go to Olathe Suzuki.

And yes, I still have my GS. I've put 4,000 mileson it. I love the dang bike. I'm thinkin I'll keep it even after I upgrade in future.

Damnit man! Heres what i think. I've rode my whole life moto'ed when i was 5 and up and got an dual sport as soon as i was old enough for street, got the gs at 16 kept it for years before the gixr 6. What I'm gettin at is man buy what you want not matter what any of us say here but , remember one thing "use your head" take it easy till you realize how much more skill ti takes to handle a faster heavier bike. It may not seem bad while cruisin around the burbs, but at that moment when you have to be perfect without fail or you crash you may wish you had a little more expereince. IM not against getting a bigger bike even for a lesser expereinced rider if you can ride within your skill level. By the way i demo'ed an sv1000s today and the vtwin has excelent torque its a lot of fun and miled mannered in the same its my next bike i think.
