Title: Pics of my GS500F
Post by: mdbHokie on June 10, 2006, 05:13:29 PM
Hi all,

I'm new here.  I bought an '04 GS500F last weekend w/ 600 miles on it.  It's my first bike and the only riding experience I had previously was the MSF course.  I've put around 200 miles on it in the last week (riding to work, riding for fun, riding to run errands, etc).  I'm very happy with my choice so far  :cheers:

Anyways... here are some pics:

Welcome!

Nice!  :thumb:

Good pictures, too!  The first photo is really striking to me...something about the way the front fairing comes to a point...

Yeah, the Fs are good looking bikes. 

I just think that when you turn the bars, the front of the bike should go with them  :icon_lol:

Yeah....this was something to get used to when I first started riding even my semi-faired SV.  :laugh:

Nice bike!  How did you find an '04 with so little miles on it?  I love my '04 as well.  First on my list for mods is some better springs for the front  :mad:  They suck teh big one.

Beautiful bike, i looked at the full black 04 before i bought my kwaka. The black one just had a wow factor when i pulled up to look at it. I wasn't expecting it to be so beautiful, really like a babi gixxer. Time to get up and wash the kwaka so i can take some pictures for you impatient ones who want to see it.

That's a really nice color.  I have an 05 in the black, red & silver but now yours looks nicer!
