I bought a 2004 GS500F a month ago and I'm loving it    I've always been into sports cars and thought a lot about getting a bike.  I like the look of a sport bike, but I didn't want to get something that would be to much of a handful to learn on... the GS500F fit the bill perfectly.  I picked up a Z1R stance helmet, Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0 jacket, and AGV gloves right away.  I have put almost 1,000 miles on the bike in the first month    The bike was repainted, it seems to be a love it/hate it color... feel free to post your comments.  I'm glad to join the GS500 community 

I have always liked that color on cars and I think it looks great on the GS also. Welcome to the forum!

Nice looking bike, welcome to the forum 

Agreed, the color is awesome...I think I'm going to go with that color as the suzuki logo when I repain mine...probably black with that color. I know kinda halloweenish but still I think it will like BA.

thats the color i was gonna paint rafes bike

Ooooo!  Copper!  That's an SV color.

Welcome. 

 

Great color.  Good looking bike.

great color on those plastics.. gonna look even better when you take em off 
welcome to the forum

Looks badass! Never take them off!!

Thanks for the compliments.  If I decide I want a naked bike I'll probably just get an SV650, a friend of mine has one and it's a really nice bike    Fortunately I have a few experienced riders to teach me the ropes.  My sister has a ZX-6R, a co-worker/firend has a CBR1000RR (he is the one that tested and rode the GS500 back for me), another friend has a 650R that he said I could ride whenever we go riding next time, and another has a Harley 1200 sportster... so there is usually somebody I can ride with on the weekends.  I was riding the bike almost every day until I picked up a screw in my front tire last Saturday (the tire had less than 1,000 miles on it  ) I ordered a new tire since I didn't want to chance patching the tire... so as soon as the tire arrives and is mounted I'm going for an extended ride to break in the new tire. 

I like the color.

I concur, on both counts. 

That looks like a 350zx stock color. One of which I really like on that car. It looks very nice on your new ride. Congrats on a real looker.

Now, about making it a 'naked' machine until you've dropped it a few times.... mainly i just want to see how copper looks on a naked

Be carefull out there man-of-few-posts !

Lol, I haven't had time to make many posts with all of the riding I've been doing    The scariest part of riding so far is creeping down the dirt road to my house, now that will rattle your nerves 

YES, another orangeish bik. There are not enough of us. Nice color. That was the color I originally wanted on my bike. I will have to side with the naked members though.

nice bike!  that would look really good with your frame painted silver i think

No way the black is BA!

I hate the color, no wait I love the color... I see what you mean.    Nice looking bike!   My "new to me" is a '96 GS with just over 5K miles.
