A GS-500 is not an acceptable answer. We already pieced together that you like that bike.
Me? I'm going with either a 2000 VFR800 or a ~2004 YZF-600r. I like something I can do longer distance riding on, but with sport-bike power.
CBR600, Katana, Bandit or Hawk GT.

The vfr800 is trash. The pivotless frame = bogus.
Dont like the YZF600 either.
My vote gos to the SV650 and its competition from kawi, the er 650/versys.
Else a 650 bandit if you can find one, or a 600 or a 1200 of old, or a 89-90 GSXR1100.

a gs500 WITH a gr650 conversion :) could be done with that money. that aside, i could see and i agree with your choices
Actually I'd slap a lot of Buell and dirt bike stuff onto a GR, GR motor in GS frame while it does look like it was made for each other, it oesn't get you a whole lot, its low effort, low reward, a GR with a buell tail, tank, dirt bike swingarm etc etc is also just as much work IMHO but the reward is a lot better.
Cool.

fuel injected something,....
a sv650 or a gsf400 for me.
I would get an older GSXR or, if I could find one in good condition, an FZR. Crazy 90s paint job is a must! None of that flat black spray paint to cover the scratches BS!
If I could get a 650 versys for $2500 I might already have one.

Everyone agrees the pre-VTEC VFR is rock solid except Buddha! of course, he may change his mind. I seem to recall him not liking the kawi 650 in the past too! :cheers:,
If I didn't already have a VFR800 I would have said VFR, although I prefer the slightly lighter and more compact '94-'97 VFR750
The one thing that scares me with VFR's is engine maintenance. I don't want to have to budget 2 days to adjust my valve shims. That said, they rarely fall out of spec.
Pre V-tec VFR ? is that pre 1999 ? I love those, they are the VFR750's. Yea maintenance is a pain though.
The ninja 650 is a completely overpriced POS on the new market. Same $ as the SV and steel frame ??? sorry even a parallel twin vs V twin cant make up that gap. However used er650 are not selling for as much as the sv's of the same condition in spite of the sv's being in high supply. Booya, excellent deal, @ 1000 less than an sv its a steal. Or steel. Either way ... There is one around here for 3K in showroom condition, and the best part, its not green.

I would be all over a cbr if I could find one that ran for less than $5k. Most of the ones I have seen for sale are either overpriced and bro'd out with extended swingarms and chrome and stuff, or are sold with no title as stunt bikes with no farings. Granted Gixxers are usually in that same boat so if I had the money I wouldn't pass up a good f3 if I found one :thumb:
I LOVE this design. (http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/Videos/droolingsmiley.gif) Nice clean lines. Doesn't look like a squished up bug or something a 10 year old designed on kiddy-CAD as a toy ((http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/Videos/sick0020.gif) too many new bikes really look like that!)
If there were one for the price and I had room - I'd buy it today.

I think you should start selling your GS's and give the Adidasguy treatment to some different bikes! We all know what an Adidasguy GS looks like, and now a TS-185. There are so many more bikes out there that need some love!
I've got street bikes pretty well covered, (CBR900RR, GS500, Katana 600/750, Ninja 600) but haven't had a dedicated track bike in quite some time. So that'd be it for me. In fact, that's exactly what I'm planning on doing next spring. :)
I'll be in the market for an R6 (with the other 600's as possibilities, but the R6 would be the first choice.) or a GSXR-750.
Next on the list would be an enduro that's all the way on the "serious dirt bike with lights" end of the spectrum.
1979 Yamaha RD400 Daytona Special. For $2500, it would need some work obviously :thumb:
New top end, maybe some expansion chambers...

Without doubt. 8 pounds heaver and acceptable power.
Much better? I suppose that depends on what you need it to do. As mentioned, it's got more power (roughly ~20-25 hp ish), and is heavier (the numbers I'm familiar with say ~20 pounds, not eight). Most performance results of the day showed it to be about 3/4 to a full second quicker in the 1/4 mile than the 600.
That weight shows itself in the twisties. Neither of these bikes is what one would consider featherweight, particularly by today's standards. The extra pounds are noticeable when you're turning in or flicking side to side. Of course, the extra horsepower is noticeable when you're throttling out of the corner. :)
The majority of the bodywork is the same, with just the seat & the tail light area being different. The 750 seat is a little better for two-up riding, as the passenger sits a little lower on a wider perch. The 600 seat is designed to keep the rider situated, with the rear seat being stepped up considerably.
The major downside of the 750 is, to me, the horribly unattractive tail light. It's a big huge plank of a thing that makes the rear end look terribly ungainly.
My solution to the question is to put the 750 motor in the 600 frame. :) (Which is why I labeled it as a 600/750 above.) All of the early Katana engines 600/750/1100 are based on the 1st-gen GSX-R 750/1100 motors which share the same cases. The only difference in the lower end is the bore & stroke (and the 5-speed transmission for the 1100's). They're straight drop-ins. And these motors are nigh-bulletproof.
My original 600/750 (my current one is my second) actually used parts from all three sizes. :) 750 racing internals, 1100 heads (which gave slightly higher compression), 1100 endurance racing cams, 750 GSX-R brain box for higher redline. Dynoed at 109 HP. In a package that looked identical to the stock 600 Katana engine. More than one guy was surprised when that doggy Katana that he gave lenghts to because it was such a boat anchor beat him through the 1/4 mile and took his money. :)
My current one isn't tuned nearly as severely. It's just a straight swap from a 750 Kat to a 600.
If choosing between the two stock bikes, I'd likely choose the 600 if the majority of my riding was solo. It's perfectly stable droning along on the highway, makes more than enough power, and is more fun when the going gets tight. If I were looking for a two-up bike, the 750 would be the better choice. No matter what the choice though, today's purchaser needs to be aware (just like people who bought them new actually) that Katanas are not super-sports. Even in their day, they were closer to the sport-touring end of the spectrum than they were the repli-racer end. (The '88 Katana 600 did win an AMA championship, but that was the only year. CBRs & FZrs quickly surpassed it.) Personally, I think they're a nice step up in-between a GS500 and a serious sportbike.
WIthout question i'd try and chase down a good condition 02+ CBR600f4i.
I almost considered selling the GS for one.....and i havent even ridden my GS yet! (stupid carbs)

That's not too bad a price for a low mileage 750 if it's nice & clean.
I spent a couple seasons racing GSX-R750's way back in the Suzuki Cup days. I don't have any particular desire to have an older one, but if I had an extra 12 Grand laying around, I'd be hard pressed not to spend it on a new yellow 2012. :) It still remains probably the best hard-edged sportbike made.

Do not underestimate the power and handling of this bike. Respect it and it will offer some really thrilling riding. I knew a guy with one and it would hit almost 120 in 3rd gear and get there FAST. Less insane than the 1000 and more punch than a 600.
Oooh, in that price category there are several. SV650 comes to mind first. Ninja 500 would be next. GSX650 also.
Depends on where you live...here in Atlanta everybody wants 3.5-4k for their Katanas. Believe me, I've been looking for a long time. The cheapest one I saw was 2800 and it was pretty beat up and had over 30k miles on it. Same thing goes for SV650's. It's absurd.

My thoughts exactly. I wish I had the spare equity, I'd pick it up ASAP. Wonder if he's willing to trade for a Bronco.. hmmm.
Sorry but you would be hard pressed finding a decent bike for $2,500 in OZ. You could probably get a beat up GS. A crashed track bike or something that will require work but that is about it. Maybe a I4 250.

Actually, around here (on craigslist) people separate their numbers to keep the ever growing list of spammers from emailing them. And a lot of people think anything less than a liter bike is a starter (not saying they're right by any means).

Nope, I've more than learned my lesson. I've got very little interest in riding a new-to-me bike home unless I purchase it like 2 miles away. :)

Normally I'd agree...and without the lowers on it, it's a sin. However...it is distinguished and in person it actually looks very good. The lowers make all the difference.

Trust me, it looks better in person. LOL
That SV has all the finesse of a charging bull.

Man, you've got some good deals going on down there. A Bandit was on my short list when shopping for my standardy commuter bike. I'm quite happy that I ended up with another GS, but I would actually have rathered a nice clean fairingless Bandit to be honest.
I love that bike. I'm really considering seeing if I can swing the funds for it..
If I had the extra, I'd love to have this one too.

Not a fan of the way that fairing looks, especially the lights - looks like bug eyes. Not a horrible deal, though. Those things are like a naked Katana or GS on steroids. Uses the same carburetors as our bikes I am fairly sure.
If you can see the headlights while you're riding it, you're doing it wrong.
:flipoff: :icon_lol:
Hey, looks aren't everything but I do want to at least be able to tolerate a bike's looks. Though, I must say, they look strikingly similar to the headlights (reflectors) on the V-Strom and I swear...those were the best headlights of any bike I've owned. Hell, they were brighter and better than the headlights on my Ford Ranger.
Wait, didn't you buy an older SV650s? That's one of the ugliest front ends known to man! :flipoff:
Normally I'd agree...and without the lowers on it, it's a sin. However...it is distinguished and in person it actually looks very good. The lowers make all the difference.

Suzuki has definitely made some questionably styled bikes over the years..
And yeah, it looks WAY better with the lowers.

The Kawasaki KE100 is the only bike I've ever ridden that will put up the kickstand when you pull in the clutch. A co-worker gave me the Yamaha equivalent, a DT100. Hopefully have that together soon.
