This 2008 GS500F is a great bike for anyone who is learning to ride or is looking to ride for leisure, the bike is not overly powerful and is easy to control. I just put a brand new air filter in and had the carbs cleaned previously to that. It is in overall great shape except for a crack on the front right fender from being knocked over in driveway. Other than that the bike has never fallen. Runs great, shifts great, brakes great. It has roughly 8600 miles on it. Any questions feel free to contact me directly.
