GS500F

#1 Unread post by Jamers! »

Well the zzr600 i had been looking at and was gonna buy in 2 weeks sold today. Kind of a drag it was at a great price and would have been steal. So for now im still riding my ninja. But ive been seeing this GS500F at my school and i think it looks great. I know its the same size and what not as my EX but still i like the looks so much more. Anyone ride one of these, how are they? You like it?

Visually i think it looks besster than the EX500, but performance wise you'll lose a little i believe. Not much, but it might be noticable. Be kind of a bummer to spend the money and get a "downgrade".

keep your ninja. You wont notice much of a difference at all between the GS and your ninja. I would just look for another ZZR, they shouldn't be too hard to find.

i can't give quality comments so i'll just share my opinion.

i agree, the GS500F does look a lot better than the ninja 500. but the ZZR600(i only saw the '06) really looks way better than the GS500F. why did you let it go? :frusty: i feel frustrated hearing that.

anyway, if i were you, since you already got the experience... i would look for an upgrade in both looks and performance.

so try to look for another ZZR or some other better bike than what you already have.

If you like the ZZR you might also check out the pre-636 ZX-6R same basic bike as the current ZZR.

well, maybe it's divine intervention... i hope you find a good deal on an even better bike than the ZZR.

good luck!

trust me, i was majorly bummed that it slipped away. But i couldnt finace it cause i cant afford comprehensive insurance so i needed to buy it all. And so i had been doing a lot of overtime to try and save up for it and was sooo close. Oh well though, wasent the color i really wanted anways and the next one i find ill have a good ammount of cash ready to spend :)
