With gas prices going the way they are, I decided to get a bike. So I got a left over 06 Suzuki GS500F, gets 58MPG. Not to small that highway riding is hindered, and not to big to kill MPG, It's just about right. I had just Had to buy it, when I saw the color. Most I've seen in the show rooms around here are blue/white. Like the 06 style better then the 08. Bike will pay It's self off with the money saved with todays gas prices.

Kinda looks like a baby Busa to me.
I like the 08 Busa, I might get one in a year or 2 when the hype is over on them. The 500 will make a good commuter bike to work etc, and still have style for It's size.

Thanks for showing the picture Loulou
Loooks way better then the pictures I took but best I could do with weather camera etc.

Looks sporty and very comfortable to ride.
My dad has a 750 shadow and this bike takes bumps and better on long rides then his is.

I'm surprised and so his he. This bike is more of a good bike then we expected it to be.

My father has an Old I believe 1981 CB750 now thats a tank. It was the street bike I learned on LOL. This thing is a real pleasure to ride.
I'm actually stunned on how well of a bike it is every time I ride it.

I have projects r/c, I am doing. The main part about the forum now, might be less people noticing/coming on the board since the website is no longer on the Newbright crawlers.

Kinda on topic of the thread Razz,, Story is Cobra98 and I were chatting and I was said, I was thinking about buying a pocketbike; for around the nayberhood and as a pitbike for the track (Drag racing). 1/4 mile track with pits etc. You walk allot of miles in a day with out something to ride on. We got to talking about them and he said he owns one. So for heck of it I went looking on you tube to see what types were out there. I know there are some you can register like a scooter.

Thought is was a cool vid, saw them do tricks on full size bikes but did not know the little bikes had enough power to do it. I might have to buy a 21speed type bike soon. I use to race BMX till about 2 years ago. Still have my 20inch Redline,
But peddling gets to yah when your older I guess
lol. Stopped racing when, I had a bad crash and found out, trying to walk the hurt off did not work any more LOL. For the younger crowed that knows their 20inch stuff. I use to ride street,Dirt,park,Flatland and race. Sold off my other bikes but kept my redline. Still do some street stuff but park I can't. My brother talks sense into me and I just watch him do his thing now.
My brother a few weeks ago had a bad crash and ended up with staples in his head, was back at the park the next day. My confidence is there and strength but body can not recover easy anymore Frown.

With the advanced age that I have, I think I'm going to obtain a kit BIONIX to transform my MINELLI 21 speeds, an electric bicycle .. or the system WELDERNESS ..

I already had an electric bicycle MONGOOSE 24 volt / 7 speed .. but its performance was poor ..

HELLO ................

The product BIONIX, was too expensive.. $ 1500.00 / $ 1800.00 .. therefore, I chose the product ....

((IZIP Trailz AL 2008, with a single battery ($ 600.00) and I also buy the second battery ($ 150.00), to double the execution time ... TOTAL $ 750.00

I may change the battery 12volt (every 2 years) by QUEBEC CITY, two battery by side .. for an amount of 30.00 each # .. 4 battery TOTAL $ 120.00 ..

This bike is more efficient than my old MONGOOSE 24volt .. with a single battery ..autonomy = 20 klm

I can take my wife everywhere, or it will :-)
