Message: [QUOTE="duncanstives, post: 1423517, member: 110498"] Your friend must be pretty strong and have lots of stamina to be able to handle a bike like that AND all the extra weight... I weigh 165 and I can handle 8 hours on my 200 with but I'm pretty beat by the end of it and I am thinking a 500 will be even worse... Not that I mind... Since I've got into biking I've never been in better shape (minus bumps and bruises... LOL). So anyone have any mods to make the thing handle better? Pretty intellectual for now... I don't have a 500 yet and I'll probably stick with basics like a REALLY good set of hand guards to start with... Just curious what people have done. Also people who have one: What did you pay (assuming you got it used and reasonably recently... Don't really cared what you paid for a new one in 85... LOL) and what'd you get in terms of model year, condition, etc? [/QUOTE]
