I know WE all know how great the GS is, but I found this nice review at the cycleforums-cycleangels website.
The woman who wrote it has ridden a lot of bikes, and this was her first ride on a GS500.
I'll try to put the link up, but it might not work.

Great writeup! Its also in the New Rider section (unless it was moved).
I left a reply on the thread :)
