I bought this bike a couple of years ago, when I was commuting from Wellington to Lower Hutt every week day. I've done a couple of weekend trips around the lower north island, and a 2 week touring trip round the south island. But since I now work in town, I hardly ever ride this bike - it deserves someone who uses it!
The GS500 is an unfaired, twin cylinder air cooled bike. It's a simple design, which is well proven, reliable and rugged. It's fast enough, it's comfortable - a classic all rounder.
This bike is in decent condition, and runs fine. There are a few scratches on the tank from my tank bag. The only problem is that I've hardly used it in months (I've done about 700km in 6 months). With such little use the battery tends to go flat, but this was never a problem when I was using it more often. (Being a twin, it's also really simple to push start!)
It comes with a rear rack and decent sized rear bag, two rear side panniers (although the zip needs fixing on one side) and I'll throw in the tank back too.
I also have a helmet (visor not in great condition), jacket and trousers. There is a rip in the pants, but the jacket is fine. If you're keen, I might be able to arrange a deal on these items too.
I've also fitted it with GIVI front screen, which just reduces the buffeting wind a bit.
Note: the bike run in Miles - it's done 48k miles.
Any questions just ask.
