    Does drained fluid for storage mean "hasn't run in years, all seals now dry and cracked"?

    Most likely. Looks like an odd cable running down from the passenger handle bar. Not sure what is up with that.

    Almost looks like a cable lock, no? Kind of? Sort of?

    How's that compare with a gs500?

    You'd hardly notice the difference. One might be a little easier to push into the water, but both will hold your boat stationary in decent wind.

    I have not had either, so take my comments with a grain of salt. Looking at my first bike I ended up with a Ninja 500 which was considered better at the time compared to the gs500. I have always thought of the Buell as more entry level compared to the GS. I think it is physically a little smaller and shorter. It is a one cylinder compared to two. The GS500 was made in Spain from what I remember and actually had a pretty big following world wide despite the meager specs. I suspect the GS500 would be more reliable, but have no real data to go by. My two cents...

    I've currently got a gs500 - my first bike. I looked at the ninja 500 as well, actually planned to buy one but the deal fell through and I ended up with a gs500. So far I've been really enjoying it - it is a blast to ride, but I have nothing to compare it with. I also like how it looks, although my particular bike is a little beat.

    This is maybe a little silly, but in my opinion the parallel twin just doesn't sound good.

    I bought a pile of shit gs500 for my first bike, chain used to slap the battery case because it had a turbo at one time. Found a super rare Yoshi exhaust for it too. Painted dumb ass green stripes on the tank. I had an 89 so it had clip ons. I also had a Ninja 500 at the time and it was just meh. (Mine looked like the one from True Lies)
    I much prefer a GS500. Shit I'd even buy one now just to fuck around on

    Re: The Best bikes on Craigslist

    My first bike was a 1981 GS450s bought new in October 1980. I absolutely loved it.

    A year ago, I bought an '89 GS500 for a winter project and for teaching my daughter this spring. After getting it running, I rode it to the gas station for fuel, intending to head right back home after. I wound up riding around for two hours. It's a simple, elemental motorcycle that invariably puts a huge grin on my face.

    That '86 is calling my name. I spy a magnesium engine cover.

    I like that it's actually a 750. Not a tariff beater 700

    Wish this was closer. Those PM Chicanes make it so you can get modern rubber. Instead of the dumb ass 16 inch front wheel

    I think I'm getting better at reading these ads. I take "carbs were cleaned" to mean "carbs were dusted with carb cleaner, internal rubber components may be ruined but the idle circuits are still clogged"

    With a bike that age with that mileage expect to replace every rubber component in the carburetor
