Well for starters Id like to applogise to everyone in this fourm. I am deployed to honduras and decided to take a little trip around the country for my mid tour leave.
So I went back to Alabama and preped my 06 GS 500, you know new tires and stuff and started out........ Well I made it as far as Phoenix, AZ and stoped at the kawasaki dealership to pick up some new gloves that I destoryed in Texas.
And walked out with a new 07 650 (And some new gloves)

Right now im in Las Vegas, NV for a little pit stop with my family then Sat im off to San Jose, CA then to Canada, and back.

Like i said it kind of makes me sad to get rid of my 500 but I just couldnt pass up this deal.
Well if I dont get booed off this fourm ill keep everone updated on my trip

that is definitely a nice bike man, I'm not speaking for everyone else here but everyone has to move on at some point, although i believe i will always keep my gs around
Sweet looking ride :thumb:
I took my wife too look at those but the F4i won her over. I love the looks of that bike.
+1 Kawi did an awesome job designing that thing. Nice bike, I like it better in the red/black paint, though.
Excellent choice man. Your route sounds like a blast also. If you're going through the mojave desert, make sure you stop and take pictures. Lots of pictures. My wife and I have stood in that exact spot from the BOULDER dam (the locals will tell you it's boulder, not hoover ;)
Fantastic adventure you're on. Enjoy every minute of it. :thumb:
ausome bike :thumb: i always see this squid riding one around town but he scratched the shaZam! out of it, yours is very nice.
Holy hell! That's the same color I'm going to paint my custom.Damn kawi beat me to it.Love the bike,but I'm still biased.
:thumb: Keep us updated! O0
She's a beauty!! :kiss3: Congrats!!!!! :cheers: :thumb: Definitely keep us updated!! :thumb:
Looks good :thumb:. I've thought about upgrading to the Ninja 650, might have to wait a while though. Nice pictures, keep us updated on your trip.

Lollin looks almost identical to the tahitian candy blue of my wife's 06 f4i
Nice bike, nice ride, great colour....having recently bought a new 650 in-line four (Suz bandit) it's awesome ain't it.
GS still has a special place though.
I think that kawi calls it Candy Plasma Blue. Its an awsome shade that has a lot of depth.
650r is a twin :thumb:

I've been looking at these things for over a year ... the lady at the dealership kept trying to push me into a ZZR for about the same price (but she was offering the 650r $800 under list price also) .
This is gonna sound stupid , but one of my fave things was the sidemounted shock that was color-matched hehe . I was gonna stop in about a month ago and maybe run a credit app and the shop was gone . I guess she was trying to move the stuff before going out of business :dunno_white:
Great bike I want to ride one, but the freaking kawi dealer around here won't let test rides unless it's a used model :mad:.
Best color combo I have seen is the Canadian one champange and red or burgandy
Nice ride :)
OMG!
NOT EVEN A SUZUKI!
YOU SUCK!
HOW TERRIBLE! :flipoff:
Now that I got the kidding out the way.
WHOA!
That's a DEAD SEXY machine!
Very nice!
CONGRATULATIONS! :icon_mrgreen:
Is it very comfortable on the open road and such?
I think when I eventually step up from my little GS that I'll be getting a SV650 or a DL650 V-Strom.
Really nice bike ya got there! :thumb:

What the %$#@ are US troops doing in Honduras now? It's bad enough that we're all over Europe and the Middle East!

Well for starters we go to the clubs and party for hours. Then we go back to one of the 5 bars on post and drink till the sun comes up.
