I am completely new to riding. I have wanted to get a bike for a while, but have always felt I would not respect the ability to do stupid things. Now that I’m a little older and opportunity has presented itself I’m doing it.
I just bought a 1998 Suzuki GS500E that has 3200 miles on it. It has some sort of NYSpeed history but I am not 100% familiar with the history. I’m sure some people on here know the bike well. I have heard stories of leopard print in it’s history somewhere, lol. I just ordered all my gear and will be heading to the DMV tomorrow. I’ll have pics up tomorrow.
That should be safe enough for sure.
enjoy it… that bikes awesome…

EDIT: MSF… do it.
Welcome to the crew, you picked a great platform to start from (had one myself last year).
:tup: Excellent starter bike.
Welcome…be safe…
hey I have an 2000 gs500e! mine has like 17k though…
Been thinking about joining the bike crew as well, rode a friends GSXR600 and it was absolutely amazing. Congrats
yes. DO NOT ride a real bike. Its been a few years for me and I kinda forgot what its like. I rode my buddies r6 the other day and oh man, our bikes are slow. lol
It’ll clutch right up
Yes finally!
That bike is a BLAST to pilot.
Awesome Justin! Definitely a good choice :tup:
Being new to riding, this bike feels stupid fast. I can’t even imagine what a litre bike feels like.
Did you take the MSF course? It’ll be a world of information being a new rider, definitely sign up man!
fixed
yup^
lol @ stupid fast. Give it a few weeks and you’ll get used to it. Ride safe. What’s a gs500 run in the 1/4 anyways? 12s?
^mid 13s-14’s
the gs1100 only ran mid 11’s
Not yet. Just got my permit on friday.
