That first ride is pretty fun eh? I did my first ride a week ago and I was grinning like a fool and making GBS threads my pants in fear at the same time the entire ride. When I got off the bike I had been smiling the entire ride and had a few bugs stuck in my teeth.

Below is me on the first ride preparing to pussy out and go sloppy and wide on a turn

I love your bike. Don't ever sell it.

Well unless it is to me. :iamafag:

I want my bike so I can post it in all its glory. Come on Monday!

What's so wrong with that?

So someone else was up at midnight at a theater. :)

I don't get the CB550 love... *points at his GS550* much better bike. :-)

It is more because of the support. *Looks at sohc forums*

Oh I see what you did.

What did I did? As much as the honda community is strong, most CB's are their own model. They also have fairly short "model" runs. So parts don't interchange easily. and parts that do are random magical combinations. GS's have, and had long model runs. And once suzuki engineered something, they stuck with it. Parts swap easily, and widely throughout the range. And, you don't have the "this was never designed to be maintined" problems you run into on hondas.

Have you done any long touring on it?

They're a "do anything" bike. They're pretty slow, but they are street legal. they float over just about any kind of ground. Just ask Phat_albert. Or Mouse Eats Cheese. They both have one.

I'm quite jealous of his as his runs. Just did a ghetto filter job on mine, but it should work. Unfortunately my free time is taken up by class. Check to make sure there's an air filter in the air box!
