After two days of advertising I managed to sell my GS to a newbie L plater for almost $6k. Straight to the shops, now the proud owner of a '96 GSXR 1100 with 34,900km (with a gel seat that feels like sitting on a cloud!).
In light of recent events, the fact that some members have more concern with nit-picking posts rather than agreeing with the overall value and sharing their own advice, I will not be returning to the forum nor will I recommend any GS riders here.
It has been fun for the most part.

Its quite rude to remove content from forums. Some moderator might as well delete this thread too.
No ohgood I am thinking of nit-picking this post.
Like this:
Ourea: A gel seat cant feel like a cloud, it has to feel like you're sitting on water.
Ohgood: I got this bmw bike, and I counted the buttons, it only had 40% useless buttons. You better correct yoru sig now.
Cool.
Buddha.
I would say goodbye, but I guess he's not coming back to see it anyway.
Why bother posting this post then? :dunno_black:
,...wasnt there a thread recently talking about HTFU specifically concerning aussie's? I wouldn't've expected that from ourea. Guess they all can't be like aussiegs downthere,....

"I sold my GS to some noob for a lot of money."
"I won't be recommending anyone to this forum."
"People need to stop fighting about silly stuff."
Ooooookaaaaaaaaayyy...
Way to be passive-aggressive and hypocritical at the same time.
(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/Videos/dgpberrt.gif)
People do get into some stupid arguments around here, but hey don't go away mad, just go away. :flipoff: :2guns: :mad:
But seriously, fighting aside, this is a great site full of helpful people and good information. I don't know of any other site I would be more eager to tell a new GS rider about.
Sorry to hear you feel that way man. Ride safe on the Gsxr........
Fact of the matter is, as soon as they have a problem with the GS, they will be here first. Theres no denying the knowledge of the GS500 here........
Kijona, he is from OZ where bikes generally cost much more. I can't speak for how MUCH more though.
Well brand spanker new here a 10 or 11 plated GS is around the 6 - 7k mark. I paid 3500 for my 03 Everything is more expensive down here despite our strong currency. Shame to see him leave and with a bad taste in his mouth. Sure there are some silly fights here but it's water off a ducks back far as I'm concerned. And yeah there are some people who need cement in their tea or coffee or latte but meh it's like anywhere. Goodbye ourea may you find a place where no one argues and everyone exists in total aggreeance with each other and you.
And like posted before as soon as someone I know has a GS I direct them here this forum is the best place to be. Fun times.
What did he get butt hurt about? I've not seen anything bad (Wladizu anyone? or JB?) in quite some time! :dunno_black:

I've found the same thing. I'd say, overall, this forum is a lot more mature and free of preconceived notions. Hell, it's barely even moderated and stuff just seems to "work itself out" without people going into "butt hurt, death threat, keyboard killing, whatever" mode.
We have gotten a few people that have stirred things up but they eventually just go away.
I posted a question about a different bike on a general BIG motorcycle forum...the way those guys talk to each other is just degrading. Bunch of hot-headed idiots and their "if it's not a Harley it's not a motorcycle" narrow-mindedness.
However, you can't make everyone happy. No matter HOW perfect something is, somebody will come along and femaledog and moan about SOMETHING.

That's interesting...I actually won a Harley last year in the 7-up / Captain America contest. When I went to pick it up, the GM of the dealership was telling me I was gonna have to sell my "crotch rocket." I told him that I'd prefer to keep it. He didn't seem to happy with me about that, but that's his problem, and this GS is MY bike.

SEE! Holy hell...CROTCH ROCKET? LOL! People see the GSF and think it's a GIXXER.
Good luck with the new bike dude. Sorry you feel a few people ruined your experience here but sometimes as in the real world personalities can clash even on forums. Ride safe.
Ha! Hawke, when I had my little cafe'd Honda CL175, people called it a crotch bottle rocket.

When Flick got his GSXR integrated mirrors I got that alot! How fast does that gixxer go? Well it says 135 on the speedometer "oh I thought gixxers went faster than that" "It's a GS500F oh it's still a cool crotch rocket" what happened to the SMH emoticon?

How funny because I get ask that like 2/3 people. It goes something like this..
person: nice bike.
me: thanks, do you ride?
person: yes or no..how fast does it go
me: (this usually kills the conversation for me) fast enough for me (then I leave)
I guess I might just be getting old but speed is no longer the thrill for me, I just enjoy riding.
Sorry for OT but it looks like the OP is not coming back anyways. :cheers:

The FIRST question they ask is usually an indication of what is Most important to them.
How fast does it go? THEY are concerned with speed.
How much did it cost? Their MAIN thing is money.
How comfy is it? For them it is comfort?
How far can you go before you need to fill up? For them it's about economy.

So, the other day I was at Staples printing off pictures for an assignment. I"m sitting at the desk cutting them to size (they have a straight line cutter I can't seem to do that to save my life) and as we call them over at BBO forum (the dude) sits down next to me.
"You ride"
"Uh, Yeah" (I'm still in my jacket with my helmet on the table)
" I used to have a bike like yours"
"oh really, I like that he is a little guy good on fuel" (hoping to end conversation)
"Yeah, I got rid of it and got another bike"
"Really, what did you get" (trying to call his bluff"
"UHM, err a honda CB950 RR"
"Must be a hot bike" (trying hard not to roll my eyes)
"Yeah I had to lay it down yesterday"
"oh I guess your gear saved you don't look bad"
"uhm, errr yeah I think it was an ICON yeah that's it ICON"
"well have a great day!"
Great conversation!

or bïtch even. lol. it is moderated, more so than youll ever know. you would see if you posted scat pr0n. youd be instabanned. it is just staff here is here but relaxed. we have no nazis here anymore. really havend in nearly half a decade.
I smell stank pooty...and I don't even know what happened. People need to grow a pair and stop being do damn sensitive.
This board has very lax moderation...until you cross the line. People know when they go too far. Nice custom title ourea. You deserve it. Wear it proudly.
