It wasn't really a review.  just greg asking two questions about the bike.  some guy from suzuki just gave basic info about the bike and that was it:

"new sport fairing... looks just like GSXR... blah blah... low seat height... blah blah... great beginner bike..."

yeah disappointing... I saw the thing on the preview of the program before 2wheel tuesday started.. and i thought it was a review time.

I must say it looks sweet, the black powder coated frame, blue bike...mmmm.. the curves look reallly nice, it is sweet.

if you ask me it's been totally boy racered.  

Naked bikes are cool.  

full sport bikes are cool if they have the ponies to back it up.  The GS is now just more poser fodder to go along with the EX.

It's too bad that naked bikes don't sell to "most" people whao are interested in sportbikes.  That's why they start off on and wreck higher powered bikes.  Hopefully the new faired model will get more people started on more easily controlled smaller bikes.

good point.

but engines are cool!

plastic (fiberglass, carbon fiber, whatever...) is totally boring!

I just don't understand why a full fairing is automatically cooler.

Two-wheel Tuesday sucks.

It's one of the worst programs I've ever seen.  I'd rather watch infomercials. At least that way I could watch something for more than a minute before it cuts to commercials.

I think the way to see the new GS will be to go to motoshows (or wait till it hits the dealers)

The motorcycle coverage on Speedtv SUCKS. Use to be you could watch some good racing on tuesdays. Now we get a bunch of crappy motorcycle related programming. I was surprised they showed motogp Sunday morning.
I'm going to the International Motorcycle show on Saturday.
I'm going to take pics of the GS and try to post them and give a review.
I gotta figure out how to put pics on the message board like some I've seen.
Finally got the equipment, just need to learn more.

Just post them in Wall of Fame  :mrgreen: I doubt any of the moerators would delete new 04 pics. See if they will let you pull the plastic off for some of the pics ;)
