Ok bike? Performance wise compared to the GS?
He's back in Aust from Lao and other SE Asian countries where he had a DRZ400. This will be his first road bike.
Yeaaaaaa 1 lunger ...
Gutless, but fun, super light (prolly not by today's standards) and super narrow.
IMHO a skorpion 660 - 5 valve water cooled and a good 30 lb lighter than a gs, made with better components (paioli suspicion - yea suspicion its german dammit, grimeca brakes, 4.5 wide rear tar 41, fork will just about sneak a nose on a GS on a track) ...
A GB500 has no chance outrunning a gs. It is however the perfect candidate for cafe'ing.
Cool.
Buddha.
oh nice. i likes. also similar to a yamaha sr500
Thanks for the reply guys!
Anything to by gained from intake/rejet/exhaust mods? bore her out to 600?

yes! i actually had the chance to ride an overbored sr500 with all the intake/exhaust/rejet etc. made quite a noticeable difference over stock. i think it cost him about a grand.
performance mods same as XR-XL 500,600,650
