That is what I love about this channel its not just all about flashy sport bikes someone somewhere will be looking for a GS500F and this video will make their day
Hey, here I go! :D
I am looking for a GS500F, yes :)
Your wisdom strikes again
lol aka me, hope to get one tomorrow morning! NJ here
Just re-discovered this video. Yes, I was seraching for a GS500F and I bought one. Been loving it ever since :)
As a 76 year old biker, this bike is light and very easy to handle! One of the best bikes I've had in 60 years of biking 😀
Man, thats good to hear. Age doesnt matter if you are healthy.
I bought a GS500fk4 in 2004 brand new. I rode that bike balls-to-the-wall, I could rev it up to 9k through every gear keeping up with my 600cc friends and have a great time in the process, I rode it up and down the Carolina coast and through the rural hills of Kentucky, I used it for work travel, and tons of pleasure rides. It would consistently get more than 60mpg. I put almost 30,000 miles on it before a top-end engine rebuild, after the rebuild it ran good as new, I regularly changed the oil, one set of new tires, one new chain, and super simple basic maintenance. It was cheap to own total original purchase price of $5,250 eventually I had kids so I sold it but I miss it every nice weather day. It was a great bike had 38k on it when I sold it to someone who didn't have their motorcycle endorsement, that was the saddest ride I ever had on it. It is still running to this day.
hi ken ive got a 2004 f and its my second bike after a 250 and i quite like it. one thing i love is the huge 20 litre tank and not having to fill up so frequently. i went one tooth bigger on the front cog to drop the revs a little 👍
Exactly why im here
Suzuki has some of the smoothest riding bikes I've ever been on
Hope to see another Katana 750 or 600 roll through. Quick and comfortable. Super reliable!
Lol they just released brand new 2020 katana.
Ya, you should try a SV650, or even smoother DL 650 V-strom, i love mine. that sweet lil 650 L twin is something special for sure .
@@passdadutch88 yeah, it is basicly an old gsxr detuned. but it looks sweet.
John-Erik johansson no it’s not
I love 500s and especially this 500 in general because it has more than enough power for someone who has been riding a 250 for a season or 2 and deciding it's time to step it up so you can get out of tight spots EASILY unlike a 250 (as all of you know :D) and it's still fairly forgiving if you mess around.
This is a great bike! Have one since 2006. After years in garage the lady will return fully restored tomorrow.
Hi, I have one of this bike here in Brazil but it's a naked model 2009, basically it's the same bike that you show in this video....I love riding it! Thanks guys for sharing this video!
One of the best little bikes out there
I love riding sport bikes. Nice content!!
I love my bone stock 2005 GSXR-1000 always keeping her!
Love tha bike you can't go wrong with Suzuki
Great simple low maintenance bike. Comfortable
great looking machine thx guys
First bike I owned. It hated running cold but it once warmed up was a blast to ride. Very light and got great mileage if I wanted it to.
Funny this shows up. I just saw a guy on this exact bike last night on my way home from work.
Maybe the best bike to start off. I own a 125cc Suzuki and seriously thinking of getting a GS500F when I upgrade my license as a first "big" bike to learn on. Cheers from Greece!
Did you end up buying a Suzuki GS.500 ?
First of All, 500 is not a big bike by any stretch of imagination
But from a125cc I can see why you think it’s so big and powerful
I ride an 01 bandit 1200 (1,157cc)
Allways loved the
"ROYAL METALIC CANDY BLUE" 😎
the GS 500 bulletproof little bikes. passed uk bike test on one off these. they use a lot of these at riding schools here . and despatch riders use em ere
"Ride it cross country" I in fact did that on one of these. Did great! Only issue I had was fuel starvation while going over 130kph for over an hour. The main vacuum petcock simply needed a breath to catch up.
The suspension could also use some stiffening.
Great video. Thanks for the information.
thx for not doing a gopro lazy review! great channel!
I got this bike for my first bike Last year and i cant imagine a better bike for beginners!
Just bought a 2006 gs500f. Plenty of fun but makes me miss my katana.
I own one of these bikes in there great what a great purchase
Love the GS500.
Smooth lil bike she really clean kap💪😎🍻
I got one of these it's my first bike and boy is it fun
The 500's are a perfect step up from a 250. Like riding but you're not fully committed yet because you know how fast these sport bikes get within the blink of an eye....they have enough power to get into a tight spot while still remaining forgiving.
How aggressive is the sport type foot peg positioning on these bikes? My 1st bike was a cruiser with floor boards. I am thinking of getting a 2005 Suzuki GS500 but I am affraid my knees and back will be in pain after 30 minutes.
Fantastic bikes.
Would you say this is a good bike for beginners? I passed the MSF course (we were riding 125cc bikes) , I would go for a 250cc but I can’t find any in my price range in my area.
I rode a 1999 gs500e the naked version and averaged over 50mpg!
Wow, nice looking machine! I see how it resembles my rare in the United States, - 2008 Suzuki GSX650F. If I didn't grow up riding and racing 80cc-500cc dirtbikes from age 11 until I sold my last KX500 dirtbike in 2015, I would have started off with a 400-500cc motorcycle as my first bike, instead of my current 531 pound -(wet), GSX650F as my first motorcycle. It's quick, but it's no 9-10 second sportbike obviously. It does 0-60 in 3.7 and runs the 1/4 mile in 11.94 @ 110.1 and has a governed top speed of 135 mph.
I've ridden over 5,000 miles on my GSX650F already, and I've had no problems or issues. Despite what some may think... Growing up riding dirtbikes absolutely helps you transition and ride your first motorcycle better in every way. My brother with about the same dirtbike experience as I, said screw it, and bought a modified 2014 Yamaha FZ-09 as his first motorcycle. Stock, his bike does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, and it runs the 1/4 mile in 10.66 @ 124+... Again, before the mods it currently has. Anyway, he's had this FZ for over a year, and he put over 10k trouble & accident free miles on it! Neither of us have dropped our bikes, (knock on wood). We go to the mountains and rip around with our group of sportbikers almost every weekend. Not bad for our first ever motorcycles! We're not overconfident either... We know our luck can change in a flash. We take our riding very seriously. We respect our machines. Anyway, so sorry for the super long comment. I will subscribe after this comment. Keep up the good work guys!
How long do these bike last I got the same one but a 2007 it has 19k miles runs pretty good with little noticeable issues some dude said they only last about 30k before needing a rebuild that true ?
im trying to buy one off my friend but dont run just cranks what maybe some things to check first other then battery an fuel
Nice! I just bought a 2007 model with 1300 miles on it. Same colour as this one. They do seem to be cursed with dropping them lol. I cracked the fairing on mine by trying to put it on the center stand on my gravel driveway. Won't try that again.
Same
@@dylancarter318 Great bike to get some street chops on though.
For a motorcycle born in the late 80's this thing is seriously underrated, currently looking for one to help me take on the british winters we have here as I daily a zx6r its just not suited to winter riding.
Would you guys have any interest in an 1999 Kawasaki KX60 comes with a 2002 parts bike. Runs phenomenal. Frame rails are super clean. Can definitely tell it’s been ridden but would make a great candidate for the museum. The Kx60 made more power cc for cc than the kx500 of the same era
Yes
That's really nice sport bike, sounds mean. 😎
Fun fun fun.
I was always under the impression that the fairing models are oil cooled. My naked version is air cooled
Both oil and air cooled, for the F version :)
Rt180 and now this? Come on kaplan...this is america..not a circus😂😜💪✌
💙💙💙
That's a brand new bike
"Lets do a drive-by" Thats something you should never say to the police lol.
I dont know much about this 500. Whats the top speed? And what does it reach in 1st gear? 120mph, 50 mph?
Not sure about top speed in first but it'll do 115-120 mph in a tail wind.
Gears aren't very long. Probabaly 20-30 in first gear I'm usually shifting by then on mine.
How do you see the fuel indicator ?? im thinking of buying one but there is no fuel indicator on the bike, so how the hell can i ride it when im at any time can run out ?? btw new biker, just got my license yesterday, dont judge me :D
You can just open the tank and look and see how much is left. Use the trip odometer to keep track of how far you've gone.
You mentioned how much you guys spent on the bike but you didn't mention how much you I tend to sell it for.
I'd Paint That Tail Section to Match The Rest of The Bike.
I just bought this same exact bike today for $300.
It just needs the carbs cleaned up and re-installed. So I was told anyway ...
Sounds like a dirt bike. I like my racey looking bikes to sound like it. 600s but I've heard some 400s screaming. This is a 500cc I really expected screaming. Not gurgling.
dang i’m 28 minutes late
Is it suitable for A2 category ?? 35KW or 47,8 hp is the limit.Thanks a lot !!
In my country they can be restricted to fit A2 even it has couples hp over the limit.
search for gs 500 U
Restricted to 34 hp
I used to have one it was fucked though bent forks rebuilt title half ass respray but I fell in love with the bike I dont know maybe cause it was my first bike idk but I regret selling it but it was just a huge paper weight cause I couldn't legally ride it so I sold it
Why can't I look as cool as this guy... 😢 I would join a gym but I wouldn't know Wtf to do when I got there.
just picked up the regular version of this bike for 600 bucks
2007 for sale for 1,700 it’s clean without stickers these colors 12,000miles
Beautiful bike . Sad these bikes get so abused
Good starter bike? Or should I start on a 250?
Its a good bike but smaller and safer is better
@@KaplanCycles that’s what I’m thinking, just can’t find any good deals on 250s in my area
This was my first street legal bike and I absolutely love it. Not too fast but not too slow to have fun on either. It's a 2 cylinder 500 so its significantly slower than a 4 cylinder 600.
in my opinion it's up to you if you are responsible, and don't panic when operating machines. put yourself in a large parking lot with no posts if possible and practice stop and go and u-turns, then get up to speed and practice braking harder and faster. Get to know the machine and how it operates, kinda like driving an unfamiliar car, everything is slightly different in the way it feels.
🏍️🏍️🏍️
Does anyone speak American and can translate what that man just said?
i know its all tuned and stuff but i dont love the exhaust sound. and i like burbles :( nice bike either way
I heard him say it's like a shrunk gsxr1000. I'm sorry to disagree but it's nothing like a Gixxer more like a shrunk katana 750 without an inline 4 .
Is this a review or is he just trying to sell it lmao.
Both lol
I've got one of these, its a sad piece of shit. I bought it in a hurry as my main commuter was off getting serviced and I couldn't bring myself to use a car to go to work. That was just to much to contemplate. So yes much much better than a car, but still a sad sack of an excuse for a motorcycle. Gutless, poor brakes, soggy suspension, reliable as all hell, poorly finished with fading of the paint and decals. The best of spanish motorcycle construction. Still better than using the car!
Too much money put into it.. but it's a reliable good beginner.
LOL 😂 slow money don’t make no money. LOL this is not a baby gsxr. Just a gs-f.
