Yikes.....well even though I have sold it, I have had allot of fun riding my 07' GS500F, I bought it just before 08' GSX650F was released. When things got tight in the garage, it was a tough decision, but owning the GSX650F and a Ninja 250R, the GS500F became odd man out......letting the 500 go is still a choice I sometimes regret  :cry:





Whenever I start to kick myself in the butt for letting the 500 go....I take the GSX650F out for the day and then remember why the 500 went down the road.



The DL650K5 or Wee Strom/V-Strom, 90° V-Twin, water cooling, EFI, 5.8 Gallons of gas with 55-58 Mpg any day of the week...if I have to ride 2up for any distance, this is my go to bike.





With a redline of 13,000 and roughly 28 Hp, my 10' Ninja 250R has taken up the Lightweight Touring spot the GS500F once held.







If I had to only have 1 it would be the 07' Burgman 400, 65 Mpg, FULL FRONTAL PROTECTION from the elements, with all kinds of storage under the seat, it has been over many of the mountain passes in Washington State and never feels underpowered.

To answer your question....I really have no favorite, they all get used at different times of the year for different purposes, they all have redeeming quality's, once you figure out you can own more than one, that's when the fun begins! :O)



10' Honda SH150i, water cooled, EFI, 65 Mph tops, 92 Mpg any day of the week



02' Honda CH80, 45 Mph tops, Fun, Fun, Fun, 101.5 Mpg even holding it WFO, it will be the next to go, it has been replaced by above SH150i.

Can I drive my car there, it's too frigging cold out to ride, I'm a cold weather weenie?
Maybe we can hook up this summer for that ride we always talk about too??

Cars have to park on the street. Bikes get to use the Cave and car port.
While you're here, you can help fix that Ninja 250. (I see you have a Ninja.)
