Looking for a bike, something in the 600cc range I suppose. Don’t need anything super fast, super fancy, etc. Just something that looks good that will get me around. I guess an older bike, for $2k or less. Any suggestions? ---

Suzuki GS500. Dirt cheap (can find it for $1000), light (385 dry weight), and decent power (OK, it won’t rock the experienced rider’s world, but it’s definitely enough for a few years). Naysayers, begin throwing a tomato or two 😃 ---
