I think the good news is it that it is still available.

There was some talk about stopping it.

I've always thought the best upgrade would be Fuel Injection, but I bet
it would raise the price point too much.

Perhaps a naked model.

Glad I'm not holding my breath.

what would be neat is if they did a VSTROM version of the 500.  an entry level city bike.

GROSS!!!

i just think something with more practicality and convenience features will help sell the bike to beginners.  if i hadn't gotten mine for almost free, i would have never bought it.  it's too impractical.  i don't understand the sportbike fairings on something that you KNOW is going to be dropped once or twice.  the thing should be quick, safe, and rugged.

SV650S ABS?  cool, didn't know about that... 900 bucks extra, dang

I saw that too... it's also offered on the V-strom... interesting



edit: Interesting too is that it's only offered on the 650 models and not the 1000s

Glad I got the 2006 blue. Not liking the new paint. What's with the tail splash? That's just weird. I am glad they're still making them though. This means replacement parts will be available for a while longer yet. For when I wind up needing them.

ok...
check out the blue Hayabusa i hope some one got fired for that
but i love the look of the red or orange GSX-R1000

I'll take the silver one anyday.

they didn't even change their description, except for the year!

2007 GS500F

When we introduced the totally redesigned Suzuki GS500F, everyone raved about its light weight performance capabilities. For 2007, the GS500F is back, boasting an unrivaled combination of exciting real-world performance and sporty styling - including a full sport fairing inspired by Suzuki's world-class sport bikes.

Just learning to ride? The GS500F is the ideal bike for you! It has outstanding maneuverability, thanks to its low seat height and light weight. And if you've been riding for a while, you'll really appreciate the GS500F's all-around sport performance. Its twin-cylinder engine offers strong acceleration and quick, clean throttle response. With its well-padded seat and smooth suspension, it also provides a comfortable ride on the highway.

Now's the time to get in on the action - on the 2007 Suzuki GS500F.

Whoever does the photos for Suzuki's website needs to be fired, and replaced with someone here at least we know how to take pictures.

Ohh, pick me! I'm an amateur and I would work for cheap, but I'd still take better photos than those guys!!

yellow needs a come back

while(1==1)
{
    yellow++;
}

  That blows, I really like the grey/black look, and was planning a winter project paint job very similar to the 07', I sort of wanted a one of a kind look for a GS500F, so now I guess I'll have to come up with a plan B, maybe Silver metallic with faux carbon fiber flame's, or something that Suzuki won't roll out for 08'+.    Now I'm thankful that I've been putting this off waiting for humidity and temp. to come down a bit here in Florida. Oh well back to the drawing board.

while(1) works.

Lots of stuff works...  Like GOTO...    1==1 is clear to anyone what's going on.

If you don't know why while(1) works and you're a C(++) programmer, you need to get a refund on all that money you spent learning to be a programmer. 

Still that fairing  ... GS needs no stinking fairing  .

When was it ever totally redesigned?  New body work and minor electrical updates doesn't count...

The way you have it... yellow will always fade when it wraps around...

What I meant was EVERYONE. 

And if you're a C++ programmer that uses while(1), you should be shot. 

I should have just put  while(TRUE)...   

void unfair() {
    stringr *bw = new char[7];
    strcpy(bw, "fairing")
}....

#define 101010lolxoxoxox1 1
while(101010lolxoxoxox1)... keep calling tihs unfair:

Yeah, I meant to mention that, but forgot.

Dr. Love, I think RV assumed that yellow was defined outside the loop and just put in the important part.

I not only like the 2007 paint job on the GS500F, but I love em on the GSXR's too!
