Tastefully modified GS500
 

Ok so my mate's brother has only gone and bought a GS500...not sure if he asked anyone for advice before buying but thought we'd put it up for discussion ;)

Apart from the obvious amount of crap off the road that will spin up off the back wheel, the fact there's no storage space apart from a tankbag, it looks hideous, has blatantly been crashed and owned by a heavy gorilla of a chav (YC's words)...it's a cracking buy...right? :rolleyes:

Looks ok for £720.

I'd now go and find an original rear end and end can though!

Re: Tastefully modified GS500
 

Erm. Better not to comment seeing as it's a member of your family who has already purchased it. Me not likey though.

was your mates brother locked up in the attic when he was younger?

I did try to explain that this may not be possiable the best bike to buy, but what can you do? My last conservation went along the lines of ride something before you buy it...

Re: Tastefully modified GS500
 

for 720 quid its alright, but I'm with YC been crashed.

I'd be hunting for a GS500 subframe and plastics IMO

what, no it's not a relative, it's a mate's brother! No relative of mine would be so silly...oh wait a minute yes they probably would...

I don't get why you would spoil a perfectly good gs500 as a first bike and get a mutilated one.
