Hi there! I'm From Bogotá, Colombia in south America. Riding a 97' GS 500 with .50 piston rings, r6r rear suspension, still under project.

17yo been riding <1 yr, living in ontairo.

24 year old male from Cardiff UK, got my 08 GS500F in October 2013 and my licence to ride it in September 2014.

Long time lurker, can't stop reading about what people here are doing/have done to their bikes!

I totally agree with that! This forum is quite addicting that way

So lucky the GS has such a dedicated following, not enough time in the day to read about everyone's projects!

Hey there. Been lurking for awhile. I'm a 19 year old male who is currently in community college. I live in the East Bay area of California. I've had a 2002 Gs500 since December and have been enjoying every bit of it so far. The previous owner installed an aftermarket exhaust system, rejetted the carbs, and added the lunch box filter. So far I've completely rebuilt the forks with new seals and progressive springs. I replaced the rear shock with an old Katana shock. Handles a lot better now. I've added clubman bars with "junkyard risers", and bar end mirrors. I just did my first oil change today and it was actually pretty easy. Switched the throttle tube with an R6 tube. Replaced the cylinder head gasket because it was leaky.  I do have a background in cycling so handling down twisty roads hasn't been difficult to pick up. Plenty of twistes around here.

Welcome aboard. It's cool to see someone else from the east bay. Is your GS the naked model?

36 year old guy in Scotland. Bought my GS for cheap as a winter hack, but it never worked properly. Now that I've got another GS and a half, I am going to try to cobble together a working bike.

Hy,

Alex from Bucharest Romania, the bike is a GS500F from 2005, my first motorcycle

Hi, this is NADGS, from chicago, IL. Just brought a 2006 gs500, my first motorcycle.

hi my name is Andy ... from west of scotland ... just bought myself a 1998 GS500E

Welcome to the site Andy!  I have a 98 too, what color ya got?

22 year old male living in MN owned 2 bikes first one 89 Honda hurricane started on fire while riding second gs500 and loving it. Work as a cook and Renfair during the season

Names Bob. I had my own 97 gs couple years back, trashed my bike and self included when I hit an oil slick in the rain season.  I'm wanting to convert my 07 gs500fk7 to an e model I love the bike but the naked look is what I enjoy best! If anyone wants full fairings let's trade for it.

Richard, 50yrs Electronics Engineer. Work in the specialty coffee industry in Australia but travel overseas quite quite a bit. Rode bikes as a young bloke but gave them up while the kids were young. Getting back into it now and always loved the GS 500 so I picked up an 1990 for $400 which I will get up and running.

Hey, my name is Kenton. I'm 29 years old, attending college for Physical Therapy. Long story short, I was hit on my first Suk 4 years ago and hadn't picked up a bike since this winter. Saw one on CL and picked it up super cheat and ripped it apart. Love this Suk to death and will continue to modify it until I die. Any how, I live in Hamilton, NJ with my wife and obscene amount of animals and am always looking to a place to ride. Shoot me a PM if you're within 2 hours of me and want to meet halfway.

Yup it's naked. Going to try to get rid of as much plastic as I can. Would like to clean up the rear end and get rid of the tail fairings because they're ugly and bulky in my opinion.
