I've been considering adding a 'sportier' bike to my stable all summer, but haven't been happy with the condition of similar used bikes. I wanted something still practical for commuting, but which would be an interesting counterpoint to the experience on my cruisers. I had settled on getting a new 2013 Yamaha FZ6R, when I saw this 2007 Suzuki GS500F on Craig's List.

This bike has quite a few miles on it, but as I've been told and have been experiencing first hand, mileage is a poor indicator of used motorcycle quality. I've had it a few weeks at this point and am enjoying the different riding experience.
