Me want too!  If he cleaned the carbs it would be worth full price!  Don't worry, I don't live anywhere near there so I won't snatch it... although I just got my pickup fixed... hang on... hmmmm....  :wink:

This is an awesome running around bike.  Like ours, but more modern.  It makes more power with less displacement.  As a result it's almost a second quicker and it goes 115 naked... AWESOME!!  There is a downside.  Our GS500, with its bigger engine and more torque, is more than 20% better on fuel.  :thumb:

great looking bike! I spend too much time on ebay. I'm currently in love with this bike.... http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/2382588394.html

It's only got one picture, and it's a crappy one at that, but you can google husqvarna sm510r if you're not sure what they look like. I love the sm450r's in red/white/green even more.

But wait a minute!  My GS never has a headache!  She's ready to run all the time.  No problems. (should probably cross 30,000 miles this year)  It's reliable, so what now?  Try as I might I can't think of an excuse to replace my GS as my #1 everyday mount.  I only have room for four bikes and I only need three (enduro, street, touring) so I have to be very careful about what I might add to my stable.
