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
 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...#ht_2390wt_932 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?

Re: Tastefully modified GS500
Looks ok for £720.
I'd now go and find an original rear end and end can though! |

Re: Tastefully modified GS500
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...

I don't get why you would spoil a perfectly good gs500 as a first bike and get a mutilated one. Last edited by missyburd; 20-01-11 at 08:13 PM. |
