Get a 750.
Welcome to the forum.
is this you on FaceBook? I just happened to come across this on FB after seeing your post here. Nice looking 500.

I can’t do anything with the pic you posted. There is a bit of a trick to posting full size pictures on the forum. Link in my signature if you’re interestedLast edited by Rich82GS750TZ; 01-27-2022, 05:45 PM. -
Where did that bike come from? They didn't sell that model in the USA.
Best upgrade is install 650 cylinders/pistons/head. There are lots of threads here on this upgrade path.Ed

The GS500E motorcycle appeared in 1979, powered by a sleeved-down version of the GS550 engine (with smaller carburetors). The GS500E four was manufactured for markets where its smaller displacement was suited to insurance or license regulations.
