Title: New GS....WOW
Post by: J-Lo on May 28, 2004, 03:02:54 PM
Ok, so I stopped by my local Suzi dealer today...and I noticed a NEW, 2004 GS....not the faired one, but the good, naked kind.  WOW.  It sure is pretty.  The frame has been painted black, and so has the front fender....the tank color was pretty much the same color blue as my '02, but the black frame and the black fender looked BAD ASS.  I'm SERIOUSLY thinkin' of doin' that to mine.  You guys should check it out...I'll try to find a picture...

I still wanna see a pic.  I'm assuming the nekkid 04s have the oil cooler still... :dunno:

Yeah, they had one of each at a dealer around here. A faired '04 GS right next to a naked '04 GS. I forget how much price difference there was though.  :dunno:  

The black frame does look VERY nice on the naked version   :thumb:

Here's the Canadian version - I dunno if there's any difference compared to the US version (only that you lucky bastids can get it in yellow!!)  :bs:  :lol:
