Suzuki has redesigned its venerable GS500 for 2004, and named it the GS500F. New styling, with a new, fully-enclosed fairing (providing improved rider wind protection) are the main updates. The engine remains a 487cc parallel-twin fed by 34mm Mikuni carburetors. U.S. MSRP of the GS500F is $4,999.

yep. you haven't been around lately, have you? there are several posts on this in the couple fo pages after the first one here. Oil cooler and electric tach updates too.

most are pleased although many here prefer nakeds.

I have been waiting to use this here...  

Damn James!!!!  :x  You beat me to it!  :lol:

It's okay. I'll say it for you PollyAnna...
Doh!  
And welcome back!  

Sorry haven't been on in a while, life happens and you have to let some things go.

I figured someone else posted about this already.  Just tried my luck.

On one of my GS' I have the full aftermarket fairing, I like it - but I'm a girl and don't like all that motor stuff showing. tee hee
