Hey guys, the guy selling the Maroon '96 is really grating on my nerves - I've been trying to catch up with him for two weeks to buy the bike but he's making it REALLY difficult... anyways I found an '01 in the paper that I may go ahead and look at. It's a little more than I was hoping to spend, but at least I'll be riding a bike instead of riding my sofa waiting for this other guy to 'take some time out of his busy schedule' (which includes him being off from work until november) to take my d$^% money!!! I checked out the members photo pages but its difficult to tell what year is what... it's a '01 and is described as blue & silver... which judging by the 'Colors by Year' page on this site it is "Metallic Abyss Blue."
Is this what it would look like or is this a newer one with the fairing off?:

Thanks!
Nope, an 01 looks like mine... Pablo's bike was an 01 too, the bike pictured on his page.

You in Maine ... forget the GS ... its a steaming pile of crap anyway ... :lol: ... buy VTNewb's Maxim. Its a manly bike y'a know, unlike the chick oriented GS :lol: ...
Cool.

I have a metallic abys blue '01 too... can post a picture when I get back to a real computer this afternoon. Maybe I'm biased but I think it's the best color for the GS. Certainly better than any '96 :nana: Plus you'll have an extra gallon capacity in the gas tank. I say go for it.

I'd love to see a pic of yours too.
Extra gallon capacity aye? Any other differences between that and a '96? Sounding more and more appealing!
better carbs.
go to www.gs500.8k.com to see mine. (well mine was almost exactly the same as that one)
I have the dark metallic blue 01, it looks great, larger tank, new carbs. Mine's stock except for K&N filter that came with it. I get 75 mpg, 300 miles before reserve. No joke. Runs great.
Here's my '01. If you can find one thats been taken care of, the paint looks amazing. Really deep metallic.
