message: The article has specs appearing a couple of places and seems a bit inconsistent.
I'm going to see what I can do to get the duplication removed and improve consistency.
Ones that seem a bit inconsistent:
* dimensions
* fuel economy (think this is just due to merging)
* Naming. In particulare the "E" part. I don't believe this reflects the naming in Australia. I owned one one time and there were two types "GS500" and "GS500F" talked about (normal and "fairing"). Perhaps the internal name of "E" is US only? See GS500F and GS500 NathanLee  —Preceding comment was added at 18:38, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *  Btw, f. free to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "3.9 litres per 100km" fuel economy info a lot off?  I say that because my gs500 uses 7.5 lts to run 100kms, being with the the carb needle on the second line from top to bottom (one line above the standard, to more economic). 200.207.144.94 (talk) 04:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: * I'm not certain on this, but 31 inches for the width of the bike seems excessive... I am in the process of negotiating to buy a GS500E, so I will try to confirm that value soon hopefully. -m-i-k-e-y-Talk / C 17:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if you measured the handlebars on a bike and found the width was different, that would be original research, which Wikipedia has no use for.  The stats say   and for that type of statistic (i.e. not fuel economy, horsepower or weight), the manufacturer is usually the most reliable source.  Now if you were to find some other published, third-party expert who argued with Suzuki's stats, that would be useful.  --Dbratland (talk) 17:55, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point well made! I am familiar with WP:OR, just sometimes a little forgetful! I also missed that link, and assumed that the whole thing was unsourced. -m-i-k-e-y-Talk / C 15:44, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: That is not a reliable source, and  even if it was, it says right on there the bike is hardly stock. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 05:54, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
