It's naked thats the problem right there
 did you buy it new or from a dealer ? it could have been a re spray ?

 OTOH it's only two panels and the tank, well possible someone just swapped them for black. Druid

Re: weird colour and year
drag - i dont think its a respray. was bought from a fellow biker.ie member that can be vouched for by others.
fastdruid - dont think its an s as its got permanent brackets on the sides of the rad which i think was a naked only thing for a while for some weird reason. suppose someone coulda swapped the tank and panels. is there any way of confirming any of this? |

Re: weird colour and year
I've just found this which says there was a black naked in 2000
 EDIT: makes more sense if I give the link as well! http://www.suzukicycles.org/photos/S...k_side_450.jpg Druid

Re: weird colour and year
Just remembered the the other difference in body work, are there stickers on the seat sides?
The 'N' has stickers on the seat sides, the 'S' doesn't. Druid
