Ummmmm, what is this thing? Im guessing this is just a gsxr that this guy bought from auction and doesnt even know what he's selling? Check out the hot pink!!!!!wow!!!!

And an 89 (as listed in the posting) .Must have been the first 89 with a digital dash and fuel injected??

Sorry if this is this is anyones post, dont mean to rip but it was just too good to pass up. Oh wait a second! If your on this site you know what a gs looks like

Someone wake me up from this nightmare please...

Anyway, rather than a Gixxer I'd say that's a fully-faired, post-2003 model SV.

yeah after i looked closer and saw the vid.....no not the barbieworld vid.........thats what i figured also........Now i feel like a goof!!!!

[rnicholas]

it's an sv.  and a crappy looking one at that.

Whoever put that together didn't have an eye for lines thats for sure

The VIN they have listed is for an 88 Honda something

Strange deal

Yeah funny enough yesterday the vin was 1hm or something to that effect and today its an 89 gs vin.....hmmmmm???

also here is the c&p of  there response to me:

I knew that this bike would bring in a few questions like it did when it first arrived at the shop. Like I mentioned in the Ad that we tried to contact Mattel but really did not get any answers from them. The first person we spoke to had no idea what we were talking about and then the second one told us Mattel made a few Suzuki's and Harleys in the same colors as our bike. But could not confirm nor put anything in writing, so we thought he was just giving us the run around. Either way the title and paper work from Geico Insurance shows it as an 89 GS. It may just be that the previous owner upgraded the plastics on it. Still if anyone out there can find any information on the net I would greatly appreciate it.

Better yet there a power seller and there even selling an 05 gs, listed as a bandit and 05 gs forks......but you dont even know what the bike really looks  like?  On top of selling other bikes i cant believe that these guys dont know the difference of one bike to another. Oh well, not my auction. On the other hand if someone picks this bike up for the $200.00 there starting at they could part it out and make some nice change 

The VIN they have listed is for an 88 Honda something

Strange deal

I'd bet if the VIN doesnt match up that its stolen.   that thing is a HIDEOUS 2nd gen SV650.

Here was the response I got to asking about the VIN#

Sorry about the vin number I corrected it on the listing but its JS1GM51A4K2102667 you can check and it will say Suzuki in Pink. We have had several GS models in our 8 year run also but knew that this did not look like anyone of the ones we have had. We do have the actual CD title from Geico Insurance and it does match the vin on the bike. I will try to post up pictures of the CD title and vin stamped on the bike in the next couple of days. Like I metioned before also, I knew that this bike would bring in a few questions like it did when it first arrived at the shop. Like I mentioned in the Ad that we tried to contact Mattel but really did not get any answers from them. The first person we spoke to had no idea what we were talking about and then the second one told us Mattel made a few Suzuki's and Harleys in the same colors as our bike. But could not confirm nor put anything in writing, so we thought he was just giving us the run around. Either way the title and paper work from Geico Insurance shows it as an 89 GS. It may just be that the previous owner upgraded the plastics on it. Still if anyone out there can find any information on the net I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you want to call Mattel yourself and try you luck its (800) 432-5437 Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. CT

Holy Sheet! It has a strangely compelling pure hideousness to it.. my first thought was Barbie on steroids and toad venom. 

[jar75]

Deleted my waste of a post

[scottpA_GS]

I didnt want to start some long stupid thread about this but all i wanted to do was let this guy know he was not selling a Gs500.

But..... You did it anyway

[jar75]

yeah yeah i know! Well i guess someone picked it up anyway
