I tried sticking with it as the commuter, but my knees don't like it. I would have liked to have swapped just the SV, but money won't let me.  So... someone here go buy it from Aurora Suzuki.    It's a delightful bike, in really nice shape.  Bubye.

I'm selling mine too I've had it with trying to put this god damned exhaust on. I'm selling it as is with a exhaust that doesn't fit right and a broken clutch perch from when I tried to install srinath's bars.
Bye bye whacked out GS, hello gixxer 750.

What's this!! Roadstergal retiring not one bike but two, and the GS500 is one of them.  And judging from her signature line, she's picked up a GSX-R600?

Did I sleep through something?  Someone pinch me back to reality.

Whatever you do, don't leave the forum.  Someone's gotta keep Davipu in his place, and this place needs enough sensibility to balance the anarchy.

Ride safe and enjoy whatever you're on.  

Oh well...the pocket book is king when it comes to what you can have.  I know I am enjoying the hell out of my GS and when it comes time to try a bigger displacement bike I sure hope I can keep mine for commuting.  On the bright side you still have two great bikes  .  

How is the GSXR, I like what I hear but I know i am not ready for true sport bike power yet.  Maybe in a coupla years and about 10k or more miles.

Jeezus, I'm glad I'm not commuting on that thing.  I would get in so much trouble.  I've heard that the 600s are lacking in low end, but that's BS.  It has a great low end and a ludicrous high end.  It starts making noises at 5K that make you feel all tingly, and they just get louder and more complex all of the way up.
Getting onto the freeway is a religious experience.  You twist the throttle, the heavenly choir sings, and you ascend.  I was at the bottom of a ramp looking at a car near the top, and wondered, "Could I get around him before he gets to the freeway?"  I went most of the way through first and popped into second, and noticed that I was well over 90 and the guy was well in the rearview.
The lean-in is something.  The SV, as I've noted before, requires a good crank of countersteer in order to lean.  This bike doesn't; it leans almost psychically.

I'm going to go ahead and put race skins on it, so I won't mess up the pretty plastic when I crash.

that sounds almost like what a friend of mine has said, girl as well.  One of these faithful days, when I am back up in Fredericksburg, I am going to see if she will let me take it for a spin, you know you ride mine i ride yours kind of thing.  I am sure she will say sure, I am also curious to see what she has to say about the GS being that she has never ridden one.

PS: that is one perdy bike you got there

We are loosing too many of you to bigger bikes. PLEEEASE! Come back. The GS will do better she swears. You can watch football every night like you wanted. She will even cook you steak and eggs every morning. You know that leather you wanted?... Well The GS bought it for you. PLEEEASE come back!

I couldn't resist.

Roadstergal  Do you take the seat with you everywhere you go?

I'm waiting for the wheelie pics.  

Nice bike Roadstergal, and nice pictures too.   I always said I wouldn't personally buy a GSX-R for the main reason is that it is basically cliche (there are other reasons too). Every squid I see riding around town has one (for a month or two), and every soon-to-be squid wishes he had one. But, atleast your a real rider who really knows what she is doing, and you can handle it. Good for you  

Oh yea ... she'll be back ... they always come back ...  :lol:
How about buying an Old ass GS R'gal ...
Cool.

I noticed that too - my guess is that she's having it shaved down and is riding without it for now
