    Your truck looks great, and interesting threads. I used to have a 1986 GS550EF.
    I had alot of fun with that bike. I sold it a couple of years ago and have yet to buy another bike. Maybe I should..........

    Actually all highway miles, the pics tend to hide all the wrinkles, the left headlight is very yellow, it also has the annoying front cowl water leak on the passenger side floor.

    damn my 06' hasn't even hit 30k yet. but its good to see that an 05' with 141k and a 96' with 233k still runs good and strong. just reinforces the fact that ill have this truck for many years to come!

    Strickly my opimion here..

    Pros
    Gas mileage 18-21 consistently
    Reliability
    Tight interioor - nothing loose or rattling
    Looks and fit
    tows very well

    Cons
    POS mudflaps- gone
    seat stains - water stain wont come out
    Cowl leak when it rains
    Have always thought the brakes were kind of weak - spongy
