I was looking on the Suzukicycles.com site at the 2004 GS500F's. If you toggle between the blue and the yellow, it looks almost like the front turn signals on the blue and the yellow bikes are different.
It COULD just be some kind of optical illusion; but it doesn't do that when you toggle between the 2005 blue and black ones.
The ones on the yellow model look more egg shaped and oval than the ones on the blue bike.
This is a stupid, worthless post I know. Just curious if anyone else noticed it! I seriously doubt there is a real difference in production, but from the pics, it does make it look that way. :roll:
<-- Bored!

The yellow's look more like the stockers I have on that site.
Now go get a life. :P :mrgreen:
Oh, FWIW, I think the people who make the bikes on the site don't actually own them or care very much. E.g., the F650GS:
http://www.bmwmotorradusa.com/machine/models/model.jsp?model=f650gs
Mouse over the colors. The silver has the matching fuel tank slashes as it does in real life, but they made the ones on the yellow one black on the site (they're yellow in real life).

The tip of the "nose" moves down too... :dunno:
The whole thing is just slightly different... Looks like the PSed it.

I've seen blue and yellow "F" models in person. I have an 04 blue, but I've seen other makes/models/years at the GStwin meets I've went to. I didn't even notice the turn signals, though :roll:
Funny thing is, mine look more like the ones on the blue "F". :dunno:

In the 04' section on pages 1 and 2, those are 500f's? Thats sweet looking. Is that just farings bolted on from gsxr's & katanas or what? I would be interested in doing something like that. Or is this some Brazil version cause they say there from brazil.

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at the pics, but i have no intention of buying from them. I was just curious what they did cause i think it looks great.
Now that i know kinda what it is and got some other pics i can go do it myself.
