Title: I am back
Post by: Bobbleboy on August 12, 2012, 01:14:50 PM
Just bought a 1998 GS500E 14000 Km, after 4 years on the 1989 CBR1000F,  :thumb:

No need for the power, and bad handling, so now it's for sale

The handling on the gs is so much better, for driving around town

The GS needs a good wash, and some small parts, other than that it's in great condition, and wow it's simple compared to the CBR.

Nice! I have the same color scheme as you and I love it. It's the best looking GS out of all of them. Wise choice... that CBR is ugly as f%#k!

Good pics.  I really like that cbr although I'd only take it if it was dirt cheap or someone gave it to me.  Already have a pita.  Rare, although I saw a black one in the neighborhood by the shop a few months back.   Had to stop and look it over,.....(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSNjkA-xRaaWctXipylAyRbQpcqnjL6tbTEIyj8v4Iz-30C2Ylr3g)

Nice gs and welcome (back)!

Very nice lookin CBR, and its over 20s years old!  That should be the easiest 89 CBR to sell in that condition.
