Title: 1991 GS500??
Post by: ncyankeealva on April 26, 2006, 09:05:34 AM
Hey, there I'm def a newb, and my question was what you all thought about a 91GS500. Are they good bikes? 1800 would be a good deal?  Just anything that you all know about it would help a ton!.... Thanks

hey noob, welcome!

all gs500s are pretty much the same bike. pay close attention to the condidtion it's in. $1800 is too much for a '91. do you know the condition of the bike? i wouldn't pay more than ~$1200.

Wait, GS500, VX800?  V-twin?

Either this guy is selling a GS500 or a VX800 (V-twin).  Is it Srinath?  http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=25693.0

Correct.

Get the 454.  Way cool bike, and handles like a sport bike.  I could keep up with guys on 750's.

OH. Freaking great ... the cycle trader messed up ... But its a VX800 not a GS.
VX 800 surprisingly ... not too heavy and not too powerful, its torquey more than power. Its low down weight. Not top heavy like GS. Kawi 454 LTD is a cruiser with belt drive. Definete beginer bike, total beginer bike.
Cool.
Srinath.
