Hi,

Early British models were designated GS500E 'slingshot'. Which I believe is some reference to the design of the carburettors, although what characteristics define a 'singshot' carb, I don't know (maybe someone here does). I think it sounds pretty cool though.

Ja, it has a certain David/Goliath appeal that fits perfectly with the GS...
