    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi all,

So I looked at this bike for my wife
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/mcy/4557095209.html
Unfortunately it turned out to be a $500 (at most) bike. Just about everything on the bike was damaged. Remember there is a premium because it is in CA. In other words it is $200-300 bike outside CA.

Besides being disappointed in the condition of the bike I was disappointed in how cheaply the bike was built. The materials and build all felt cheap and low grade. I was expecting something more like my GS850G. I know that smaller bikes are cheaper, but wow this was surprising. Are smaller displacement GSs like this?

My wife is looking for a light bike that can run on the freeway. She has long legs and small hands (lever reach is a problem). Any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
Find her a nice GS500E, there are tons of them out there with fairly low miles and in various versions from completely naked to full bodywork and fairing.

Good strong motor, can cruise all day at 80 mph, and parts are cheap and easy to come by.
