Pics are very crude but I worked with what I had (MSpaint). This is an old pic that I used, should have new ones tomorrow.
edit: Bike is a 78 GS1000.
edit#2: For some reason it didnt post the other 3 pictures that I wanted to. To clarify the yoshi logo: Back in the last 78-80(?), Yoshimura had partnered up with Suzuki and hired Wes Cooley to ride their machines. He is onf of the first riders credited with turning AMA into the I-4 filled organization that it is today. Prior to him, most were riding European twins. He came on the scene and changed everything by riding powerful yet poor handling (in comparison to the european bike of the time) I-4 jap bikes. This is what a 78 GS1000 race bike looked like in…78:
A lot of people do ‘race replicas’ which look like this:
I have thought about doing a variation like this:
But I think its sort of played out in the GS world (Its a VERY small ‘world’ but still, I dont want to follow) so I thought a variation using the graphite and white would look good. This was my inspiration:
OK…Now that its cleared up, thoughts?

Am I missing something or are the only changes between the pics the placement of the badges? I say just Suzuki. Or are you asking what colors we think would look good besides the gray/white/black scheme?

Royal blue and white with the suzuki badge. Unless you’re sponsored by yoshimura then I wouldn’t want that logo on my bike.

Nix the logo.
If you could somehow manage to make your bike look like something out of southpark in real life, that would be pretty awesome.

yosh logo is still not that cool. you should really go against the grain with an exhaust manufacturer that doesn’t blow and get the akrapovic logo on it.

No gloss graphite and white is nice, no logo though. I’d do everything else in black except the tank and cowl.
