Bought a new 2009 gs500f from a dealership about a month ago. Got her for $2999+ fees. Only thing I've added was frame sliders from r&g.

Nice bike...wish you could pick them up that cheap up here...I paid $3000 for my 2003 a year ago with 20,000kms (12,500 miles) on the clock...the '09s on the sales floor are stickered at $4999...but they really don't depreciate much...
Great choice in bike, and welcome to the site...
Later.
Thanks.
