Post your new GS500F pictures

[Phorest]

Yeah I noticed that...this bike looks like a sportbike in every place except riding position. The riding position looks a bit...standard. When you see the full fairings, race decals, etc. youe xpect it to be a really leaned over racing type position.

Blah.

[WAP]

those bars look goofy and clipons would probably hit the fairing...

Nothing a little Dremel tool can't correct, I'm sure. So who'll be the first to put his F under the knife? Let's see some drag-bars people!  :lol:

What about the Srinath bars? They might just clear the fairing while still maintaining a more agressive cockpit.  :dunno:

[Phorest]

Clip-ons = sportier riding position right?

Hell, if I ever get mine...I'll do it.

I hate the way the upright position with full fairing looks.

Oh by the way...I found some "real" pics of the blue.






Also....really interesting...a comparison of it right next to the GSXR1000. Looks VERY similar!!

Damn, everything about this bike looks great to me except the freakin' armrests around the tank!  :dunno:  :x

Damn you, Suzuki!  Damn you!!   :lol:

Them little 'armrests' keep your legs a lot warmer than you'd think!  

My dad's now put more miles on my bike than I have. I'm still yet to hop on the bike since I bought it last week and got my battle wounds. He has the big boat from BMW (K1200LT, I think) and claims that he's "breaking it in" for me. Good old parents, always looking out for the best even when you're on your own...

Sooooo sexy.

Jus thought I'd add that.  :lol:

Just bought a GS500F last march.  Overall very happy, doesn't seem to corner as well as the Kwak EX250 but has much more low end and don't have to work the gears as much on the new GS. Have about 1k miles so far and only problem was a couple of factory grommets kept falling out of the fairing causing really bad vibration, dealer fixed the problem by using larger grommets than the factory installed. Only question is if it's really necessary to check the valves at every service, I remember the 250 only had to be checked about every other service. First service was about $300 so maintanance will be pretty pricy considering how quickly I'm putting miles on this bike.

I have the black/silver one. Yellow is not available in Canada, only Blue/white and Black/silver. Because of the density of black, the bike is faster in the dark whereas police can catch the Blue/white ones :lol:  :lol:

I'll take some pics when the sun ever comes out where I live (May)??

Cheers all

Welcome to GStwin, Jare16!

Ideally, you should do your services at the recomended intervals (oil change every 4000 mi, expecially on an air-cooled motor). And as a former m/c mech, I still strongly suggest that. A properly maintained vehicle is a properly operating vehicle.

Excellently stated. Worded so that true idiots can believe it without problems. :lol:
