ohgood

that's notta-gs, the brakes on the wrong side:



and odd wheels, single sided swingarm ?



not to mention gsx-r dude would never be allowed to hang with gs-ers:



ya, there ain't no gs thar either:



this much make-up should never be allowed near -any- motorbike:



she had to swerve so the cruiser could keep up:



ya, that's a SSSarm fer shure !




that last bike was a convincing imposter that mr. coolness was sitting on, but i think it's a honda also. :(

so, gs count = 0

lame other people = 5,000 ;)

The black one is a Hawk GT.  was the blue one a GS?

Besides, nobody would do a motorcycle death race for pink slips when the prize is a GS! I mean it's a great bike but after the loser stacks it it will be worth basically nothing.

No it's not.
It has 2 seats and looks to be water cooled.
It has a big a$$ radiator on the front.
IF I COULD FRAME MY MIND---WHERE WOULD IT HANG ?

Its a hawk as well ... look at that exhaust.
That blue was not stock on a GS till 97 or 98 too ... though painting is not new to the ghey clowns who are on it.
Like I said ... no winners ... only losers ... all of them and everyone who has tried to spot a GS in the video/pics ... yes losers ... all of ya ...
Cool.

Worst Baywatch clip evar! Had the bike been a gs it would be 10 secs of shame...

That said a gs might not be too bad for racing for pinks.  I mean pretty low risk.  You could win and get a new bike, and if you lost there's a chance that the dude wouldn't want a gs.  You might try to add some gixxer stickers or something to confuse people though.

Observe the step in the seat bodywork between rider and passenger.
See how the frame does not rebend back inwards toward the swingarm pivots as would on a GS.  That, sir, is a Hawk.
Also, note the round hole in the passenger peg strut.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Yeah, not the sexiest... But whatever the score on a 1-10, you add at least 2 'cause she rides a bike.
