FS: 1998 Orange GS500E in Grand Rapids, MI - SOLD

[manofthefield]

SOLD!!! 



Posting here first, CL etc. soon.

1998 GS500 with 25,700 miles in great shape mechanically, and good shape cosmetically, with a few blemishes.  I've owned this bike for the past 7 years and put about 19k miles on it.

I'm selling because I ride less and less, so it's not worth it to keep it around, hiding in the garage when someone else can be riding.

Accessories: Paint matched Targa ¼ fairing, Suzuki Gel Seat, Suzuki Engine Guard.

Fairing is detachable with some basic tools.  I prefer the look of the bike without the fairing but have left it on lately for my long commute.

The majority of the paint looks very good and shines bright.  The bike gets regular washing and waxing.  But there are a couple chips and some scratches and the color on the front fender has faded some.  See pictures, more available upon request.

Oil and filter is changed every every 2000 miles or at the end of the riding season, whichever comes first.  Chain is lubed every 500 miles or sooner.  Valves are checked and adjusted regularly.  The bike runs great.  The only thing it needs soon is tires.  

I will include a replacement windscreen for the Targa fairing, a bike cover, and Clymer service manual.  I probably also have a few misc parts that I can include.  I would consider selling my folding aluminum bike ramp with the bike.

Asking $1650, obo

That's an excellent bike!  If I still lived in Mt. Pleasant I'd be all over it in a second.
