I just bought a GS500E 2 days ago, i really like the bike, except for the headlight! Anyone else think its out of place?
No. It's sexy.
Retro! You'll get used to it
Just wait till the sun goes down. You'll like it then.
I like it though, very Mad Max.
Its part of the overall styling that made me want a GS. Before I knew anything about motorcycles or consitered ever getting one, I had a 01 black GS on my desktop because I thought it was so sexy. Two years later I really got into bikes took the MSF and found out what my "dream bike" was and how great of a bike it is. Soon after I got one. Basically the GS choose me, not me it.

Bought it for the headlight.
Turned my F into an E using a headlight from a '92.
Headlight? I dig it.
The big headlight and E models nakedness is what this bike is all about, keep looking at it as it will grow on you
Big headlights ... yea ... they are so cool ... I mean they are like so bouncy and you can see them easily and they are so round and ... yea ... big ... nice big ones ... yea ...
