WTB GS500 close(ish) to Georgia.......

Mayoke · June 25, 2007, 11:02:10 AM

Hi all!
New member here and currently bikeless. (OH NOEZ!)
I am looking to fix that situation and the sooner the better.
So, I'm looking for a GS500 in good condition to buy and call my own.
Price range is negotiable.
Any help is appreciated.

location in ga would be even better.

Mayoke · June 25, 2007, 02:06:22 PM

Ack, sorry about that.
I guess it IS a big state and all.
I'm in Norcross, Ga. (30093) (10min N of ATL)
I'm willing to travel a little to get a bike though.
It wouldn't be the first time I put a bike on a truck and drove it back to ATL but I don't have my little Nissan P/U anymore but I'm sure I can get SOMEONE I know to help. (A lot of people owe me rather LARGE favors.)

Check on Georgiasportbike.com and blokessportbike.com, two local sportbike forums. I know a guy named ashskyler had a '96 for $500 obo, it runs, just needs minor things like a tire, and a tach. It's a steal, but I dunno if he still has it.

I'm here in Atlanta, at Georgia Tech, so when you get a bike, hit me up!

thanks Eric.
It's a GS500 I'm working on.
There are really/honetly very few bikes I was considering.
Ninja 500, SecaII 600, Bandit 400, Buell Blast(don't laugh), and one or two others were the only things I'd consider besides the GS.
Obviously though, the GS is MUCH higher on my scale. =)
Even if/when I get something else, I will NOT get rid of my GS this time.

Mayoke · June 26, 2007, 04:28:03 PM

HUZZAH!
I put a deposit down on a GS500.
Not saying anything else just yet. (Don't wanna jinx myself.)
It's a BEAUTIFUL bike though.
Two weeks...................

Well, I'm not getting a Buell but it was a choice.
I actually sorta like em.
Friend has a X1..I think. Xsomething.
He loves it.
Actually I'm going ride it this weekend probably. LOL!

spc · June 27, 2007, 11:42:54 PM

)

Is the mean streak that wicked looking cruiser-y thing? I like them too.
I know, I know.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS NEW GUY?

!?!?!?!?

I get that a lot. LOL!

I think 'thing' is the best description

I live right next to Norcross (Roswell, 3 miles from the city limit). Maybe we can go ride sometime. My roommate has a superhawk, my co-worker has a 99 R6 (my former bike), and another friend of mine has a superhawk. I ride an '03 R6.

I think I still have a motor-cover gasket left over from my old GS500........

Awesome!
As long as you guys don't mind a beginner/returning rider that will have a pucker factor of a BAJILLION for a little while. LOL.
I plan on taking the MSF course but will be a few weeks after I get my bike for certain.

P.S. I think I just sent you a PM over at Georgiasportbike as well. LOL! Pay not attention to me. I'm low on coffee this morning.
