Just curious, what does the GS500 sound like?
Is it a smooth note which turns into a growl like the Superbikes, or the rhythmic beating sound like the 4-stroke Off-road bikes.
SORRY...........but I have never seen a GS or heard one. Only seen it on the Internet.
Trying to buy one as soon as possible..........
Thanx.
well stock it sounds like a tricked out lawn mower or what i heard. i suggest, if you want a nice growl, get a cobra slip-on. if you want a nice growl and a little bit more power get a full system.
You can check at http://grapeape.specialgreen.com/snd/ for a couple of sound samples (stocker exhaust can versus the Cobra F1r). But it's hard to hear through PC speakers what this really sounds like, unless I were to add recordings of a well-known bike or two (gixxer, ninja500, sherpa) there as well. Sounds like a fun way to pass the evening at the local biker hangout, but will have to wait until next summer.
stock they sound like a mellow sewing machine. with a pipe they sound like... I donno a GS500?
hheehe
I guess a pissed lawnmower is a colose as I cvan figue
mine with the drilled exhaust can sounds like a sewing machine with testicles :mrgreen: at wide open, kinda like a sewing machine on steroids pissed off :thumb:
Shhhh....you're supposed to encourage people! :P
You can hear one right here on this site. As the benevolent one would say, "There's more to this site than a message board." :thumb:

Keep in mind that's with an aftermarket exhaust, but you'll get the idea. I kinda like the sound of my GS even though it just has the stock exhaust. Especially how it sounds from about 7-8k to redline :)

Well there is a lot of trashing the GS's sound mostly by GS owners...
The GS sounds exactly like a 4 cyl (Old school GSXR) with 1 coil disconnected... why... because it is...
The other similar competetion to the GS namely the EX sounds like a 4 cyl Kawi like a ZX10 with 1 coil disconnected... running in reverse... Why... because it is...
Yea The GS sounds bad only till you do one of
1. You put a pipe on it...
2. You fit K&N pods on it...
3. Drill great big holes in the pipe...
4. Listen to an EX500....
Cool.

No really! There is!
Take the latest survey for instance....a whopping 18 votes so far :P
I just posted the survey yeaterday! Wait till Friday and see how many respond.
With the Yosh mine kinda sounds like an a quite, high-revving Harley. If I put around in the low end it's very convincing but once I pass 7000 RPM the gig is up ;)
Once I got the Cobra f1R on, it sounded bad ass. I love the way my GS sounds! :)
