Title: Selling '98 GS500E
Post by: ToddG on May 11, 2009, 10:05:57 AM
1998 Suzuki GS500E in fantastic condition! Only 3700 miles! Everything on the bike is as it came from the factory except the tank, which is brand new! This bike is adult owned and has NEVER been down or in any kind of accident. It runs just like a new one should and gets around 58mpg. It handles better than the bigger bikes and will cruise at (or above) freeway speeds with ease. This is a great beginner bike or for the girls. The twin-cylinder bike is light and is easy to work on. Insurance is also cheap. No fragile plastic fairings to damage. It's a true naked bike.

Call me at 623-698-2361 for questions.

I bought it last year and the previous owner let it sit for years with half a tank of gas in it. It rusted so bad I just replaced it rather than deal with the whole stripping and coating thing. Actually sold the old tank to Buddha.
