Title: 2004 GS500E?
Post by: Pragmatic on October 10, 2003, 06:56:40 AM
Well according to CMGOnline....


GS500F

The GS500 gets new clothes.
The cuddly GS500E air-cooled twin has been given a rather aggressive Gixxer style makeover with a full fairing and stacked headlights. Otherwise it remains pretty well unchanged except for the addition of an oil-cooler and an upgraded front caliper from two-pots to four.

Interestingly, the naked 'E' model remains in the line-up.

This is a Canadian site so you Yankees may not be biking in the buff after all.

Nope.  More details in this and other threads a while back.
