Greetings!
I traded my 2004 GS500F in for a new Bandit 650S last September. Only got to ride 1,000km before it had to go away for the winter.
Now the cover's back off and the battery's back in.... if only the snow would stop flying!
I'm in Waterloo, Ontario, where the roads are bad, the summers too short and the insurance too expensive. But what are you going to do, not ride?
