Does anyone have a computer pic or scan of an advertisment for the suzuki gs 500 e from about the 1992 - 1994 era? It shows a boyfriend and girlfriend washing a blue gs 500. It was in the full line brochure for suzuki. i think the year was 1994 United States. I would absolutely love to have a copy, scan, whatever :) I was 14 years old at that time (27 now) and I wanted to own a gs500 one day because that pic was so cool. I remember going to the local suzuki dealer and I picked out a bike I would want to own when older. I made sure I would remember the name of the bike - a Suzuki katana 1100. Well because of that advertisement and seeing a katana at the dealership, I now own a katana 1100 to go with my 97 suzuki gs 500. Isn't America Great? Any help would be $ appreciated $

Yeah its been around for years but it originates from the dragon area
The first place it showed up was the gas station at deals gap in the early 90's and people just keep retaking the shot using different bikes
Be sure to cut your gas off if your try it ;)

thats a motorycycle not a skidoo. I think he was smoking something when he tried that one out. :laugh: :laugh:
Now that is living life!
They have ads here: http://www.suzukicycles.org/All-Suzuki/all_suzuki_models.html
But, I didn't see the one you're talking about... :dunno_white:
i think you mean seadoo skidoo is a brand of snowmobile
I have a whole 103 page pdf of GS500 covers, articles, reviews and ads and I haven't seen the pic you are talking about :thumb:
Some of the cool articles and covers I have on the GS :icon_mrgreen:

yeah, I looked all over http://www.suzukicycles.org/All-Suzuki/all_suzuki_models.html and thought I'd find it for sure, but didn't.
I really think it was in the 1993 Suzuki full line of sportbikes brochure from the dealer.
Its a really cool pic though, if you like the girls washing bikes thang.
On that site , they list the GS as having 52hp up until the 97s , which are listed at 47hp .
Is this correct , and if so what changes were made to actually lose horsepower ??
I think they just gather information on the bikes and put it together. Therefore, one magazine or shop may have got 47 hp on their dyno while another mag or shop got 52 hp. Since they did not use the same dyno and calibrate it the same way before testing, error is introduced. Also the same year bike can produce different dyno numbers. There are just too many factors that go into testing. My opinion is that there is no difference in horsepower between the different gs models especially noticeable, however some people disagree.

Yea, I do have it actually. I have LOTS of motorcycle brocures. The Pic you are speaking of is from the 1995 street catalog. They started splitting the big catalog up into different sections in 1995. The catalog you want is the "street" one with the savage, gn125, intruders, and the gs500 in it. Pre-94' all the bikes were in one big full line catalog. My scanner is flakey at best, but ill snap a pic of it for you. Ill see if I can get a scan sometime..... hold on gimme a minute

okiedokie here we go.....this is a pic of the catalog you want, if you keep you eyes open on ebay I bet you can buy it for a few bucks

anyone know where to find that head piece???
I have it in red if you want it. It's kinda scuffed up though. PM me if you're interested.
Thanks but I would really like a new one, and besides I'm in Portugal not in the US... :icon_confused:
Can you tell me the maker of the piece?
I looked it over and couldn't find a manufacturer on it anywhere. Sorry.
But it does look like it's OEM so there's got to be a lot of different supliers out there. Here's one at bikebandit.com although it looks like its been discontinued. http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/oem_schematic_view~schem_dept_id~721867~section_dept_id~1~section_dept_name~OEM+%28Stock%29+Parts~dept_type_id~2~model_dept_year~1990~model_dept_mfr~Suzuki~model_dept_id~703243~model_dept_name~GS500EL.asp (http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/oem_schematic_view~schem_dept_id~721867~section_dept_id~1~section_dept_name~OEM+%28Stock%29+Parts~dept_type_id~2~model_dept_year~1990~model_dept_mfr~Suzuki~model_dept_id~703243~model_dept_name~GS500EL.asp)
ok... thanks anyway! ;)
Man, that purple paint with the chromed out frame sure looks good...
Of the bikes pictured on the cover of CYCLE magazine, I believe our GS has withstood the passage of years the best. The design has held up well over the 18 years of its production life. A good design ages well, sorta like the Porsche 911 series.
911's make me drool almost as much as italian sport bikes :thumb: The 911 is definitely an incredible car............
What year is that issue of CYCLE? It's May 19**? I can't make it out :dunno_white: I like to find a copy of the magazine (i guess on eBay).
Its MAY 1989 Looks to be a UK issue
I have the whole "gs" related part of it on PDF :icon_mrgreen:
Here is another sexy GS photo from that issue :icon_mrgreen:
