I like the single sided swing arm!!    

oh wow
looks very nasty...congrats
I especially like the tail section

very happy to see somebody else on this side of the pond (=Europe)...seems to me most members are from the US... I was beginning to feel lonely... not to mention that my GS is the ONLY one I've seen "in the flesh" so far

see ya soon...

...and have fun fun fun auf der Autobahn!!!

Lamps,
simon

Looks cool!  Can't wait to see it all finished up!  What are the plans for it?  Just a street bound ass-kicker?

-Turd.

SWEET!

  -Anti 

I'm drooling over that tail and swingarm

Hey your "slow moving vehicle" sign is upside down 

 

Maybe it's code for not so slow moving   Done anything to the engine???

if you can read/write german visit my site www.gs-500.de


the gs is just my funbike for the city

for the speed-feeling i have a Yamaha R1 http://images.verdult.de/meine_r1_ixil

That's one mean, clean, lean streetfighting machine! Love it! 

the engine is at the moment not modified ... first i need new money ... at the moment i'm a student :-(

the next mod to the engine is an oil cooler. if that works properly i'll try to get some extra horse power

I think oil cooling has been discussed and dismissed as impractical   Love the R1............reminds me of that rossi interview  ' more ready for accelerate' 

My Mac has a pretty good translator.......I'll check out that site a little later

That's a pretty sweet-looking bike, except for that extremely orange rear wheel. 

ehhh controls might help too

Unfortunately I can't read German, except for a few words...I really wish I could
Congrats anyway on the R1 too, very very very nice bike..maybe one day I'll be skilled enough to ride a bike like that without ending up in a ditch

See ya soon!
Lamps,
simon.

we found a practicable (?) way to realize it

the rear wheel will be changed toghether with the front wheel both in black

the new front wheel

That will look much better.
