has anyone ever mistaked ur new GS500F bike for a bigger sportbike cause of the new look?? if so..what did they say?
I don't have a GS500F (yet) , however my with my Old bike, (Honda VTR250)
No one beleived it was only a 250, and most Riding Lawnmowers had more horsepower than it. People who knew a lot about bikes could easily tell.
The rear tire is the dead giveaway. Big Motor - Big Fat Rear Tire.
Yeah, I remember the 2nd or 3rd day I had it and an old timer in a K series bimmer pulled up...during our chat he thought my 500F was a liter bike. I was like "Nah, its "only" a 500".... :mrgreen: It felt good. But seriously, at about ~400 lbs dry, the GS aint exactly a light weight.
