If you park one uncovered in a field for a year it'll be a mess. Mind you so will an MV Augusta. Look after it, clean it, and it'll be fine.

Like most Suzukis the GS is built to a price, and gets basic suspension, etc. The basics (frame and engine) should get you through a few years trouble free running. Build quality seems to be better on the later (K1 onwards) models.

Must have someting right to be still going after 19 years in production.

CX500 is better than the 4, 4 doesnt have enough grunt for the weight
