My 05 GS500F Vs. my buds 07 Ninja 650r

So i went out riding with one of my friends yesterday... and despite the fact that i froze one of my nuts i actually had a blast lol! 

We went out to the country side where there is little to no traffic and actually found a few roads whit some bends in them lol!
(if you ever been to SC you know these roads are far and few in between  )

Well considering that his bike is fuel injected and slightly bigger then mine i must say the little GS stood its ground and had no problems keeping up with his bike, i was actually quite impressed with its handling ability considering im a noob who could take a corner comfortably at 80Mph trying to keep up with my friend who is a little more experienced riding.. Now i know i know... i shouldnt be going that fast on public roads but we dont have ANY race tracks anywhere near where i live! So by going way out in the country where there is almost no one on the roads seems like a good idea at the time.

Just wanted to post on here how impressed i was with the driving ability of the gs and will be planing a road trip to a track somewhere near here lol.. If anyone want to meet up at a local track next year let me know... I want to plan out a GS fun day lol

Sorry no pics by the way    ill post next time i go out shouldnt be to far out lol

Whats your buddy think of his 650?  Thats actually the bike Im considering moving to next. The 2011 Ninja 650r is a nice looking bike in my opinion.  Have you ridden his?  Just looking for thoughts and opinions.  Thanks.

I have to admit that I was thinking about upgrading my bike but after putting a new exhaust on and rejetting, it's all the bike I need right now. It's like a totally new bike all over again, but check back with me in 6 months lol

the ninja has very similar engine than the GS with the same feeling but more powerfull (not VERY much powerfull it's still a slow bike). The stock noise is terrible and the bike vibrate quiet a lot sometime. Fuel consumption is very good (almost same as GS500). I had one for 2 months but didn't like it very much  but to each is own
