Hey everyone,
I never really posted pictures of my bike so here they go. My younger brothers a photography student so I let him take the pics. Its a 2005 bonestock gs500f. I'm thinking of selling it and buying 2 bikes, a GS500e and a Honda CBR F4i. I was wondering how much do you think I could get for my bike??? I'm in the Philly area. It has 6600 miles, bought it with 5k. Just had a full tuneup, and brand new back tire put on 2 weeks ago. I took a fall earlier this year, and scratched one fairing, you can see in the pictures. I really want a bigger street bike, but i've fallen in love with the gs500 series so I definetly want a gs500e as a project. Well here are pictures, I hope you enjoy! :thumb:
P.S. Shots taken after a quick wash a wax!

Nice bike. :thumb: I have the same year/color... yeah, same rash too.. but on the other side.
Maybe it's the camera, but your chain looks rusty ... You ought to oil it! :)
Cheers,

Those are some nice shots! Your brother is good.
1,600 miles? That's a weekend ride!
Stop talking to all the losers on the board and go ride the Baby G! Come back when the odo flips 50,000. 8) ;) :thumb:
Either you changed the paint scheme or that's an '04 you got there my '04 baby looked just like it(scratches and all) the '05 I looked it wasn't happy with the scheme. Just thougt you'd like to know could be a typo for all I know.

hmm..my title says 2005? Whats the difference in paint scheme as far as I know my bike is 100% stock. Either way I'm still looking to sell it and buy the 2 other bikes.
2005 has white side panels not blue thats a late 04 sold as 05 I bet
here is what an 05 looks like (dont mind the damage these are old pic when I bought mine for 2500$ 2 years ago.)
2005

probably crashed once, and replaced with used panels
2005 with 6K.... well I just bought one a year ago with 11K I got it for 2500$ cash in hand :)
looking at ebay they seem to sell >3000$
:thumb:
that sounds about right to me...spring is the best time to sell too
cool i'll post for around $3200 if I can let go of it :cry: thanks for the input
your first shot reminds me i need new tires. bad.
lol back tires brand new, maybe 2 weeks old.
great pics, very vibrant shots..
i have basically the same bike too. those pictures are great too, what kinda of camera is he using?
as far as a price goes before i started modding mine, i had it up for sale for a bit, i was asking 3200$ but probably would have went down to 2800$ if someone asked nicely haha. mine does have almost 16,000 miles on it though. really i guess it depends on whether or not you can find a buyer. good luck either way though :cheers:
I bought mine in August at a Stealership for $2900. It had a fenderectomy, after market bar ends, was in immaculate shape, 5,000 miles, and low jack.
I love how they name your bike one thing and it actually is another. Isn't there a place on the bike where you can check what the year is as well? I wasn't trying to be smart or anything just trying to help. I thought each year they changed the decal scheme but usually I think that is about it that is why I got an '04 to save money. Oh, well

I'm getting a error with the insert quote thing, but to answer bluelespaul, he used a nikon d40 i believe. Thanks for the input everyone, It was 85 in Philly today, and everyone and their mothers had their bikes out. It was awesome having mines!
