just wanted to say hi to everyone...since i finally got my first motorcycle. i picked up a 97 gs500e for $1200 today. it needs a bit of work (mainly adjusting the idle and probably cleaning the carbs), but i think she'll do! this is a great site...and it was a big reason i picked the gs500. well...i'm off to get better acquainted with my bike. yee haw!!

Excellent! Glad to hear it! The GS is a great bike and there is
nothing like the rush of riding your first bike. Glad to have you aboard! Post up some pictures when you get a chance!

Welcome! Sounds as though you got a great deal! Can't wait to see pics! :cheers: :thumb:
thats awesome i recently picked up my gs500 probably like a week ago congrats, i have another motorcycle too and i prefer to ride the gs it is a great ride
nice! '97's are the best.
I have to disagree with 97's being the best. Of course I am partial to 02's. I wonder why. Welcome to the board. Have fun on your new bike and be safe!

Noooo...old school....90's! :icon_mrgreen:
Welcome to the forum :thumb: Have fun and stay safe :cheers:
Well done mate!
Enjoy it, but FFS be safe!
Ok, you have to give the 90's props, but c'mon now. :icon_mrgreen: The '01 -'02, are still naked, but updated. How can you argue that?

96's are the best! They're the only year Suzuki didn't grace their frames with that gawdawful silver/fake aluminum look. 96's with 89 clipons are even better. :icon_mrgreen: :icon_razz:
Welcome to the board! A word of advice: Don't take us too seriously. :laugh:
Enjoy the new ride, wear all your gear all the time, and watch out for cages. :thumb:

Ahh, how true. But unfortunately incorrect.
The '05 naked models are the prettiest.
Welcome to the madhouse!
As for the best.. well, I gotta go with Anti.. '02 is where it's AT!
