Hello!

[CoyotesFan84]

Hi everyone!
I came across this site while doing some research on what starter bike to buy. I have recently purchased a new 2007 Suzuki GS500F and am happy to join the club! This is technically my second bike (first one being a 1976 Honda CB750 Hondamatic) but the GS is the first time I've actually taken one out on the road and I can't say anything more than I LOVE MY NEW BIKE! I'm tired as I just rode for a few hours, but I thought I'd drop by and introduce myself. I'll post more info tomorrow!

Welcome! As someone else relatively new to this site, I can tell you it's an invaluable source of information and support.

Hi!

+1 on what MinnesotaCafe said, I found tons of info and many competent folks in this forum, and I'm a recent owner of a GS, too (2001 E model, in my possession since March).

As for choosing a GS as a starter bike, very good choice... this is my 1st real bike, too (apart from the Yamaha TDR250 2-stroke the driving school gave me to learn and pass the driving test 2 1/2 yrs. ago), and up to now I can't speak well enough of my bike...easy to ride, quite comfortable, good km/litre (..oops, MPG  ), fast enough...

See ya!

Lamps,
simon

Welcome CoyotesFan84, I had a 81 CM400A that I bought in like new condition in 90 with only 2k miles on it.  Gave it to a friend with 98k miles on it and it's still running with over 100k miles on the clock.

Came in handy a coupe times when I couldn't use my left hand to ride ride my GS500.  Had a lot of fun with that Hondamatic, it was a great backup/winter bike to the GSs.
