Nogin Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 What model was it? 2005 Suzuki GS500When did you buy it and how much did it cost? 2008 £2000Good points? Its a reasonable introduction to big bikes. Cheap to run good MPGBad points? Where do I start??? Firstly it Rusted badly, after 2004 the GS500 was built in spain my mate had a 96 one and it had less rust on it than mine!!!!! Secondly in the cold I had real problem with it. One evening it took me 1 hour to do 5 miles ended up running on one cylinder and I could not start the bloody thing for 2 days!!! It handled like a dustbin lorry, it really did not like corners compared to any other bike I have ridden, even my 125 was better than this. The other thing to look for is the front engine mount tends to brake off on the engine block, my mate has had to replace his engine twice because of this!Would you get another? NO!Any other comments?
