Nope. No way that middle one is a GS500 frame...  still looks nice though :)

Bingo. Probably an old Gixxer with a Duc 916/996/998/748 tail on it and a custom tank.

I'm really digging the tail on that first one.

That middle one is hot... But is it a GS? It looks to me like a 4-1 exhaust system.

Hmmm. Maybe not. German site, I could easily have misunderstood.

Upon closer inspection, I think it IS a GS, with a new engine. That's a GS frame, I'm 99% sure. So it stands to reason that he did an engine swap to some I4.. Sweet, is all I have to say!

yep, original late 80's gixxer 1100 (a traditional streetfighter), original tank but ducati 916 tail and the subframe looks like it was rewelded to point up more (also a traditional streetfighter thing to do).
