I just saw these bikes mentioned on another site last night. I really like the looks of them and wondered how many of the "looks" could be implemented on the GS500?

Here is their site and the neat thing I noticed is that they use the Bombadier DS650 engine. Looks like a 650 P-Twin? Except that the drive sprocket is on the wrong side.

Looks like a Ninja 650.
spray paint can make allot of things look similar ;)
then get some drz wheels for your gs... and a stupid high seat... and a SCREAM halloween mask for your fairing.... almost there ! :D
Oh yea we need more sheitei steel framed bikes that dont have frames that carry the swingarm pivot. Yea, that's our new revolutionary design. Hit a bump, break an engine case "feature"
Cool.

I've seen mopeds with better styling then that POS! Was the designer using a

spirograph from Hasbro toy?
Haha wow, don't hold back now and tell us how you really feel!
At the very least I think the spoked wheels look cool. Although I really hate it when the headlight is made to look like the face of some monster or ghoul.
IMO that is L A M E.
i like it kinda looks like an early sv and bandit frame, love the spoke wheels

Oh finally someone else is saying it.
The B-King - looks idiotic like Optimus prime.
The Versys - looks idiotic like fat elvis.
The gladius - looks idiotic like a 90 year old with a silicone implant.
The Rune - looks idiotic, like a plastic skull.
The list is endless ... all of them look like sheite.
Cool.
Buddha.
Hey, whats wrong with Optimus Prime? :dunno_white:
I think the B-King (and similarly styled GSR600 and Gladius) look hideous in pictures and worse in person... but the worst looking bike IMO is that new Honda DN-01. Oh my goodness is that hideous.
Some of em victory ones have a triangular shape. That isn't too bad.
The entire rest of the lot is garbage. What GSR600 ? Bandit - thought it was 650.
Optimus prime is great, just not on my motorcycle.
DN-01 is a scooter.
BTW they design sheite like this and blame us for not buying them. I'd rather walk than ride a garbage POS that looks like someone has stuck a set of saggy boobs in front. I prefer mine round and firm, thank you.
Cool.
Buddha.
To me this looks like a Gladius. At first I liked the Gladius, but once I saw them in person not so much. I will hold my opinion until I see this, but I would probably not like it as much close up.
