Well its been a while since i bought this bike,,,as the title suggests none other than technical expertise of imran bhatti made it possible,,,,went all the way to islamabad to bring the bike to lahore after getting green signal to opt for this machine,,,initially i was looking out for honda cbr 150r but then c123pk said thats an underpowered machine and he recommended the same one,,,,with partial acknowledgment from 7th gear,,,i know though 7thgear is not a suzuki fan,,,deal was a drastic u turn as earlier i was in a mood to build the bike myself but at the 12th hour changed my mind to get a rebuilt one..... rest attaching the only pic i have,,,quite sluggish in this regard but will attach more,,,Thanx to imran for visiting my place twice and for all the brain- draining calls which i did for getting all my non-sense queries answered,,,Undoubtedly he showed a high temprament....lastly while making this decision to buy GS 500e specifically one thing which made it an eminent choice was the parts availability and relatively cheap maintainence,and again the recommendations were from imran's side,,as for the drive and acceleration the bike lived up to my expectation,,,,believe u me it has got some serious power...its 1997 model motorway police auctioned..
