Suzuki must have bought a large stock of blue, black and white paint, cause the GS has only been blue or black for 4 years now. Time to spice it up a little Suzuki, ever heard of the color wheel?
I don't know as I mind the colors staying the same... but it would be nice if they'd changed them instead of those goofy looking mirrors

those mirrors also double as ape hangers. at least thats what I believe.
They should of made the fairings all blue and all black it would look a lot better then the two tone in the front.
Like in 2004:

Yeah ,what's with those grasshopper mirrors ? :icon_mrgreen:
They should have completely overhauled the GS really
I want to try and get a hold of that "F" sticker on the front fairings.

Yeah DUDE!! O0 04s RULE O0 and of course :icon_twisted: FAIRINGS FOREVER :icon_twisted:
Looks like they stole my idea! I had done the red pin stripping on my '04 waay before them! I'm experimenting with an extra fairing, I got for twenty bucks off ebay, there is a place down the street that does custom graphic painting would love to have a carbon fiber style yin/yang starburst and the japaneese character for suzuki painted on it. On the other fairing if they do well would like an asian dragon curled into an "S" like I have on my laptop. I love my "flick" the name came from a friend who saw the bike from behind who said it looked like a big blue bug with antennea and it fliks well from side to side when riding soooo!

not only did they change the mirrors, the passenger pegs are shitty pieces of plastic with a really loose rubber slip over them... or so they were at The IMS show here in LA
