Looks like there will be a 2008 GS500F somewhere in the world, no naked 08 GS500 shown yet. From Global Suzuki:

Looks like they went BACK in time with the 08 version....
The paint job has an older look to it than the 07 bike and i would guess it remains unchanged. Suzuki just don't seem to realise that there is a market for 500 bikes like honda and kawasaki do.
So it looks like the baby GS is gonna live one more year, at least. :cheers:
...But where's the naked?!?!?!?!? :mad:
Thats a picture of the new GSX650F. It looks just like the GS500f.
No, it's a GS500F, look at the engine cases and single front disc and fairing shape, etc. Came from Global Suzuki in PDF form so I didn't get a real sharp print when I downloaded and resized it. From here:

Easiest way to tell for me is to look at the signal generator cover. Very different curves.
dual front rotors are a dead give away
I wonder how many parts from that 650RF will fit our GS500.

like the engine :icon_twisted:
I was thinking front end. Dual disks would be cool! :thumb:
It weight more that 750 Katana. 475lb VS 465lb.
Comon now!
That new paint scheme is awful. Just...awful.
Agree. A bike like that should be way more attractive.
