What happened to the UK gs site?

[cmit37]

I got so disappointed with the UK site not being up anymore that in protest I traded-in my K2 GS500 for a '05 Black Kawasaki Z750S. http://www.bikepics.com/members/cmit/05z750s/
I hope you're happy Lev

Nice bike. I'm after the Z1000 if I ever find the chance to raise the money

[rob1bike]

No fair, you guys get some cool bikes...we get the busa...oh yeah!
Wish we got some of those bikes, like the hornet and the z1000. Bah!

[pantablo]

you mean the z750...cuz we Do get the z1000...

[rob1bike]

Oh, yeah your right... Yeah and a host of others!

yea there are a few sweet naked bikes that we dont get here in the US, mainly because the naked market is much bigger in Europe. If the GS is dying out in Europe, my guess is it's because they put a goofey-looking faring on it.

Must say I don't like the fairing on the new gs. It makes the bike look small.

The GS 500 has been witdrawn from the UK line up due the the Euro3 Emissions regulations.
For the same reason the air/oil cooled, carburated Bandits have gone too, the 2007 bandits are fuel injected and are water cooled.

A shame really, the engines without cooling fins just don't look as nice.
Better performance and economy might make up for that a little I suppose.

As for a GS replacement? I guess the GSR600 or the Bandit 650 are the nearest things in the lineup these days.

So it has finally been pulled then?. I sent an e-mail to Suzuki customer services well over a week ago asking the question and as yet have had no reply.
