I bought a 2004 GS500F a month ago and I'm loving it :icon_mrgreen: I've always been into sports cars and thought a lot about getting a bike. I like the look of a sport bike, but I didn't want to get something that would be to much of a handful to learn on... the GS500F fit the bill perfectly. I picked up a Z1R stance helmet, Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 jacket, and AGV gloves right away. I have put almost 1,000 miles on the bike in the first month :thumb: The bike was repainted, it seems to be a love it/hate it color... feel free to post your comments. I'm glad to join the GS500 community :cheers:

I have always liked that color on cars and I think it looks great on the GS also. Welcome to the forum!
Nice looking bike, welcome to the forum :thumb:
Agreed, the color is awesome...I think I'm going to go with that color as the suzuki logo when I repain mine...probably black with that color. I know kinda halloweenish but still I think it will like BA.
thats the color i was gonna paint rafes bike :dunno_white:
Ooooo! Copper! That's an SV color.
Welcome.

Great color. Good looking bike.
great color on those plastics.. gonna look even better when you take em off :icon_mrgreen:
welcome to the forum
Looks badass! Never take them off!!
Thanks for the compliments. If I decide I want a naked bike I'll probably just get an SV650, a friend of mine has one and it's a really nice bike :thumb: Fortunately I have a few experienced riders to teach me the ropes. My sister has a ZX-6R, a co-worker/firend has a CBR1000RR (he is the one that tested and rode the GS500 back for me), another friend has a 650R that he said I could ride whenever we go riding next time, and another has a Harley 1200 sportster... so there is usually somebody I can ride with on the weekends. I was riding the bike almost every day until I picked up a screw in my front tire last Saturday (the tire had less than 1,000 miles on it :cry: ) I ordered a new tire since I didn't want to chance patching the tire... so as soon as the tire arrives and is mounted I'm going for an extended ride to break in the new tire.
I like the color. :thumb:
That looks like a 350zx stock color. One of which I really like on that car. It looks very nice on your new ride. Congrats on a real looker. :)
Now, about making it a 'naked' machine until you've dropped it a few times.... mainly i just want to see how copper looks on a naked ;)
Be carefull out there man-of-few-posts !

Lol, I haven't had time to make many posts with all of the riding I've been doing :thumb: The scariest part of riding so far is creeping down the dirt road to my house, now that will rattle your nerves :o
YES, another orangeish bik. There are not enough of us. Nice color. That was the color I originally wanted on my bike. I will have to side with the naked members though.

nice bike! that would look really good with your frame painted silver i think
No way the black is BA!
I hate the color, no wait I love the color... I see what you mean. ;) Nice looking bike! My "new to me" is a '96 GS with just over 5K miles.
