[edit] GS500E and GS500F Article Combination

With the two bikes being, for the most part, the exact same bikes, we have combined the two articles together to make on GS500 article. There was enough overlapping info to do this easily, but it did need a bit of clean up work to make it flow and read correctly. Thoughts? Roguegeek 08:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Who linked redirected both the sites and forgot to take out the GS500 split page. It asked which one you wanted to see. They are not the exact same bikes. If they are Give me your F I will go get a E to trade with you. I have had both. They do not even resemble each other. All bikes have close to the same measurements. They each need thier own page. If it was the same bike don't you think Suzuki would habe named it a E as well? PlumbTN

They are the same bikes. Go to any of the forums and ask. Just because they're different years with minor changes doesn't mean they should get separate pages. You don't see other vehicle or motorcycle pages split like this. Consistency is importand and the more comprehensive the information, the better. Use discussions before just editing.

The only difference between a GS500E and a GS500F of the same year is the addition of the fairing and the oil cooler. All other parts are exactly the same. Suzuki may have stopped selling the GS500E in the US, but they still sell them alongside the GS500F in europe. The fact that only older GS500E's are available in the US might be what caused the confusion. Timb0h 13:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
