Picked up a 1993 GS500 on Craigslist yesterday. My wife has been wanting to learn to ride for a year or so now, and we finally had the cash in hand, so it just made sense. While it's in rough shape, it's not a total basket case, as it runs and rides, just needs to TLC to get back on the road. First step is a back tire, fork seals, and new handlebars. The rest is just cosmetic. I plan to go through everything, clean carbs, checking wheel bearings, brakes, etc, but so far it seem pretty solid. Hopefully the weather is good next weekend so she can take the motorcycle safety course. I hope to have the bike fully road ready in 2 weeks. The best part? 660 bucks!
