i know it has been a post in the past but if you were going to buy a new/ replacement for the current one what would you get? would you actually replace it or add to the stable?
i would look at a small motard for local riding. the yamaha or kawasaki
If I were replacing my current bike, the CBR1000RR would be the replacement. If I were moving up from a GS500, then I would go with a 600 super sport.
I can not own a motard for in town commuting...I would wiknd up in jail way too much invitation too hooliganism.
I really really love my Gs500 but I was looking at the GS650F. It looks just like my boy but all growed up! LOL.
I haven't really heard anyone talk about it here but eh what the heck!

I've been eyeing the SV650...I'd love to keep two in the barn, but I couldn't justify paying insurance on two machines.
2005 SV650 (http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=59931) with the Buell headlight setup. And upgraded seat. And upgraded suspension. And lowered foot pegs. And risers.
or
Stock 2007 FZ6 (http://www.yamaha-motor.it/Images/2007-Yamaha-FZ6-Fazer-S2-wallpaper-02_pr_tcm39-190802.jpg).
The two would cost about the same.
I only have room for one bike, so it will replace the GS500.
