Wife got a GS500F

[TeacherJoe]

I know it's off-topic, but my wife just got an '09 GS500f. Only has 250 miles, but it was dropped and has a crack in the fairing. We plan to do a naked conversion, so it's OK. 3k OTD. She is new to a standard having had cruisers in the past. I showed her the light. Looks just like this pic:

I'm happy to have my riding partner back. :rockon:

Looks nice! I love motorcycles!

I always liked the look of those. In fact, after my TW200, I was considering a GS500F, and a Ninja 250R. Then I rode my father's FZ6, and we all know what happened after that.

Have you ridden it yet? How's it feel as far as handling?

Nice looking bike! Is that an inline twin!

3K OTD. and only 250 miles. thats a pretty sweet dead even if it was just dropped. Have fun with it.

Nice work. That bike is a better ride than the Blast.

I rode one for two years and it never missed a beat. Top little bikes.

Yes, inline twin. Thanks for the comments, everybody.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing how it looks as a streetfighter.

How does it ride/how is the power, those are around 50hp correct?

Around 50 hp, I think. I'll let you know about the ride when I take it home (around 40 miles) Saturday. It's gonna be brisk.

Neat bike! My coworker is looking to get into motorcycles, and that exact model came up as a possible suggestion.
