I'm guessing that you love yellow :laugh:
it's a good thing i do.
when i bought the gs500f new in 2005, it was a leftover 2004 - so i got a good price on her from the dealer.
when i traded her in for the sv650s there was a 2006 red (which i REALLY liked) and a 2005 yellow. i went with the yellow since there were no changes in the newer 2006 model except the color.
if i chose the red it would have been much more in price. i rode out of the dealer w/ trade in paying $3628usd.
i was so set on getting the red i went out and bought a new red tracksuit and red shoei helmet. oh well, i still have all my yellow gear...
Glad everything worked out for ya.
Why don't you stick around? Even tho you don't have the GS anymore, you could still contribute.
I can't remember who said this; "Once a GStwin member, always a member.
i plan on making the MEET (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=24531.0) :thumb:
Nice bike. enjoy it, and don't sweat the break-in period too much. Just get 'er out on the highway two or three times for a few hours and you're done. Besides, many agree that the low-revs break in technique isn't applicable to newer bikes. I'd say go easy, but flog it every now and then and have some fun too ;)
:mad: :mad: dang it Ginoe. I was looking forward to doing a couple of trackdays with another GSer.
Good looking bike. :thumb:
congrats! and yes, flog it. I am realizing now, that I have 10,000+ miles on my RR that it makes some pretty good power compared to when new. I credit that to natural breaking in but also to my riding it like I intended to ride it all along. Dont be gentle...enjoy!
Ya gotta love a YELLOW bike. Nice (and very noticable) choice. Enjoy and ride safe.
Nice taste in colors! :thumb:
I've thought about trying to get an '04 F and taking the fairing off of it... Then I realized that I'm really cheap. :laugh:

When I saw the title of the thread and the author, I was like ugh! But I am glad you are just saying goodbye to your GS, and not the GS community. :thumb:
And for what it is worth, I would have bought the yellow over the red too. Sharp looking bike, looks like a lot of fun. (Are you bringing the SV to the meet?)
