I used to own an '02 gs5. I heard that the gs5f has a wider seat. Do you know if it is true? With the fairing off the gs5f looks identical to my gs5.
   By the way is the fairing easy to remove. I plan on removing it when I get my new gs5f :thumb:
   
                         Thanks.

Yeah as c0R said, this is an Aussie model. Identical to US model GS500F, minus the fairing, and of course a different headlight. We also have the 'F' available here, in yellow and in blue. $7,700 on-road, bargain!

edit: PS c0r, how effective is that windscreen, and where did you get it?
